Big Red Fred
I haven’t posted photos of Fred in a long while because he’s been staying downstairs. It’s too hot and stuffy up here in the studio these days, but the downstairs is nice and cool. I’m thinking of taking this old couch out to the curb in a couple weeks, and replacing it with a recliner. Our city yard sale day is coming up soon, and I’m hoping I can find a new chair. Poor Fred. His couch potato days may be over. :/ Sorry, Buddy, but this couch has got to be the most uncomfortable piece of furniture I’ve ever owned. Seriously. It’s got to go.
I took this photo a few days ago. We’ve had a stormy weekend. Rain, wind, hail, and threats of tornadoes continue today.

I’ve closed comments on posts that are older than 2 weeks, which is a nice little WordPress setting that I like very much. Lately, spammers have been comment bombing old posts, sometimes sending me 100’s comments on one post at a time. It seems that once one spammer comments on a post, a whole slew of them swoop in or maybe it’s all the same spammer using different email addresses. Are spammers even real people? Idk. Whatever the case, it leads to far too many comments to weed through. I don’t feel like dealing with it, so no mas!
Have a great weekend! I’ll see you on Monday.

Happy PPF, if you’re visiting on Friday. I haven’t been around to party for a couple weeks, so be sure to click on the banner up there, and scroll down to see what else I’ve been up to lately.
If you leave a comment, please be sure to include a link to your blog to make it easier to visit you. If I have to go look for your blog link somewhere in my bookmarks or in my blog reader, there’s a reallllllllly good chance I’ll get distracted, and never make it to your blog. My intentions are good, but I have the attention span of a gnat. No link with your comment = me probably not going to visit.
What’s on my work tables – WOYWW
May 7th, 2014
This is the far corner that rarely gets seen on my blog, mostly because that’s where my laptop sits.
I have spent a small fortune in Stabilo pencils.
This is just a small collection that needed sharpening.
one of my many art journals
You know how I keep saying my acrylics dry out even when I fill the cups full of water?
My studio is too hot, and dry.
This is the reason I switched to oils.

Oil Figure Painting

About this painting: This wintry vision I have in my head comes from a vivid memory I have of my Mom, and how she would tell me to stand outside in the snow with a tiny piece of bread on my hand. She said if I was quiet and still enough, a bird would land on me, and I would get to feed him. aw! How I wanted that to happen!!
This is the eleventh time I’ve painted this painting, and each time it comes out slightly different. This is the first time I’ve painted it in oils.
This last photo shows what the painting might look like framed to help you visualize it. The frame isn’t included in the purchase of this painting. I don’t offer any framing services.
More progress shots of boy in oils, pouty face, and very short video
May 5th, 2014
Progress always involves risk; you can’t steal second base and keep your foot on first.
F.W. Dupee
I woke up early, really early, like before 5am early. Killer backache. :/ I’m better now, but I had to get up, and move around. I’m still plugging away at this boy in oils. I fixed his eyes and the shadow on his neck this morning. I think I messed his nose up in the process, but it’s an easy fix. I’m not sure where I’m going with it next. The reference photo I’m using is black and white, so I’m making up his skin color as I go along. Sometimes, I think I nail it, but other times..eh. It’s going to take a while. When it’s finished I’ll gather all the progress shots together into one post.

Fun, very short video = less than a minute long
Did you know my first love was photography?
May 4th, 2014
After we got back from the city last night, Greg and I drove out to the country to watch the sunset. We didn’t have a complete 360 view, which I prefer, but it was about 180. Tonight, I’m going to drive north a little bit, and then west, until I find the perfect spot to park. Last night I ran out of time, so had to stop in someone’s cul de sac. haha But, it was worth it. The sky was putting on a show, I tell you. It was fabulous to watch.
Did you know my first love, long before I started painting, was photography? Oh, how we change, yet stay the same, huh? It’s a wonderful time of year to rediscover my big clunky Nikon, I think. I have missed her. One of our favorite things to do on sultry nights is jump in the car, and go. It’s suppose to be 97F 100F today, so when it starts to get dark, imagine Greg and I out there chasing down the setting sun. 🙂
