Summer Dreamin'oil painting, 6 x 6in on canvas panel
$150
It doesn't help that my daughter sent me a photo of the perfect 75 degree Malibu beach she was doing her writing at today. I know, I promised my Canadian artist friends I would not whine.
So I lied like a dog.
Even Eddie is acting depressed. He has built himself a "man cave" under the covers and is pretty much refusing to come out. I am thinking about joining him.
In other news, painting is easy. I just stand in front of the easel staring at a white canvas until drops of blood form on my forehead.
(I know, I stole that line from the quote about writing....but it fits as well for painting these days....)
Feel free to borrow it. In fact, feel free to do or borrow anything that helps get you through winter.
And for those of you living in warmer climates like my daughter (I am not mentioning any names but you know who you are...Irit, Jill, Leslie, Mia, and others) I am trying my best to remain friends and like you, but with every snowstorm that moves in, I am finding it increasingly difficult.
Now, at the end of all this ---a bit of irony for you. I have been awarded the "Sunshine Blog Award". Usually awarded to those with optimistic, uplifting posts. I may be the first to have to hand it back over....:)
P.S. My mood did improve after I did this painting. I know you are relieved. I promise to do my best to not turn up as a local news blurb with captions like "artist snaps, shots fired....film at eleven...."
P.S.S. Not to worry you further, but I was also doing the whole dance thing with the Bee Gee's "Stayin' Alive" ....red pajamas and a paint brush. It wasn't a pretty sight. No wonder Eddie is hiding in the man cave.
