New Beginnings

Never too late to begin.........this is my first blog posting (now that wasn't so hard!)...hopes for my art on the rise. My huge big thanks to Mike Rooney (mikerooneystudios.blogspot.com) who is always willing to share his artist's journey in ways that make me know that doing my art is always possible.  He gives great info on his site re. blogging and selling one's art. Grazie MR                                       will keep this brief and promise myself that tomorrow....for sure......will post a painting!  Here's to all my closet painter friends out there....happy painting.

day 2 of 'blog'

Decided overnite to  change blog name ....more descriptive. Painting is 8"x10" water mix. oil and one I like tho tighter work than I aspire to.......parts I really liked were the 'accidents'........background trees that are mainly the original block-in, not fussed over or 'thought' too much. The greenery is not typical for Rio Rancho NM but reminds me of growing up in Pa.      Watched a fine PBS show this morning "Passport and Palette" Kevin Macpherson, Ken Backhaus etc. Kevin did a super oil sketch of italian Riviera  beach     (sigh) Happy painting folks
