One more of these for tomorrow. I am not quite happy with this painting, I think yesterdays was much better. I am going to try again, and then I will have a triptych!

Sea gift I received a fabulous gift from Sea Dean. My prize for receiving the most votes in her Art Party. Five of her wonderful postcards. Flowers, a sleeping cat, and a glorious landscape! All so lovely! Thank You Sea!

The mail woman has been very good to me this week. I received a birthday book from good friends, and two wonderful handmade cards. My friend Pauline who lives in the U.K. sent me this wonderful little gift along with her card. I call it a tea cozy. I know what a real tea cozy is, but I like the name. Pauline made a little envelope, and filled it with several kinds of tea. I told her I would have a cup of tea tonight, while I watch episode 2 of Downton Abbey.

Hope you all are enjoying the weekend! Treat yourself to some art and check out Leslie’s challenge!

I am continuing my birthday celebration this week, thanks to very generous patrons. Sitting on my desk is an Arches 100% cotton watercolor block. And lighting the way is an OttLite. True, clean light. Both of these are not just big buck items, they are MEGA BUCKS! For my budget. Am I blessed or what!

I have three small lamps on my desk. They will all be kicked to the curb when I rearrange to make way for the Ott. Two of the lamps give light that is too warm. One is too cold. One is actually broken, but it extends, so I “made do”.

My tail is waggin’! No really. Just call me little red-head girl and cue the piano!

Today’s painting is a quick one. Oh did I have fun. Bliss! This paper is a dream! Hope you like it too.

Happy painting to all of you who are taking part in Leslie Saeta’s 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Happy 2014 Everyone!

I did it. I am doing it. I took Leslie’s challenge again.

I thought I had read somewhere, that it takes six weeks to develop a new habit. But I just did a quick search, and it seems it may only take between 21 and 30 days. So I am good to go on the painting everyday habit, after completing Sea Dean’s December Painting Party.

I have managed to start a few paintings early. Whew!

At last check, there were 365 artists signed on to take Leslie’s challenge. Wow! What a great way to start a creative new year! I am so excited to see all the great art that is going to be born this month!
