Leslie Saeta’s September 30 Paintings In 30 days Challenge, Day 23

I am working on some 4 x 6 postcards for an exhibition. Showing this one today because it was unexpected. I painted it with the red at the bottom. Too much water and not enough pigment left me with pink. 

I turned this upside down and saw a man in a hat. He reminds me of the messenger boy in The Sound of Music. Do you think it looks a bit like Rolf?

When we first moved to San Diego. My folks took my brother and I to see The Sound of Music in Balboa Park. We sat on the grass, and I think we even had a picnic dinner. We were so amazed, because every time the planes went by, all the actors stopped. Everything just stopped. And when the plane had passed, they started back exactly where they had left off. It was really very cool. If you don’t know San Diego, Balboa Park is close to downtown, and right under the landing path of the planes. 

Have a happy day everyone! Thanks so much for visiting me. Links to more art here.

Oh I had a bit of good news today. “GOLF SAYINGS: wit & wisdom of a good walk spoiled” is now available at Bookcollaborative.com, and on Amazon. I will make an announcement when you can peek inside the book. This is the second book my work has been published in, I will post more news about it soon.

30 In 30, Day Four

I started packing today for my stay in Escondido. Still debating about taking my scanner. I am sort of addicted to my scanner. I started a 12 x 12 canvas. Laid in a sky and ocean. Not sure yet where it is going, but it’s a beginning.

My painting today is a 4 x 6 postcard, for the Milliande’s Art Community for Women, Birthday Postcard exchange I am a part of. It is watercolor on card stock. ( I recycled some blank cards I had by turning them inside out.)

Sadly, I received word today that the site is going to be gone soon. Milliande will be continuing some of the groups. And I am hoping that my group will decide to carry on together, at least until the end of the year. My birthday is in January, and I received such gorgeous cards. I will continue to send them for the remaining birthdays no matter what happens.

Keeping it short today, trying to meet a submission deadline – wish me luck. 🙂
