Available for purchase here or directly through me.

As you probably know by now, I’m using photobooth photos for my theme this month for some of my paintings. I’m blogging a painting a day..links below for the challenges. So, the reference photo I used for this painting is so funny. The woman was fluffing her hair, thinking she had time before the camera went off. I wish I could see the photo after this one. I wonder if she had a surprised look on her face or even know she got caught primping.

Besides doing the daily painting challenge, I finished reading four books in the past week and a half. That’s unusual for me, but I’d finish one, and I felt lost without having something to do while paint was drying. So, I finished Wild Roses by Deb Caletti, and moved on to Room by Emma Donoghue, Before Women Had Wings by Connie May Fowler, and Heading Out to Wonderful by Robert Goolrick. I thought Heading out to Wonderful was the best, but I liked them all. Now I’m reading Floating in My Mother’s Palm by Ursula Hegi, and The Good Daughters by Joyce Maynard.

*I’m not affiliated in any way with Barnes and Noble. I’m just linking to some good books, if you want to take a look.

What are you reading these days? I’d love to know.

There are two great painting challenges going on this month. 30 Paintings in 30 Days on Leslie Saeta’s blog, Slices of Life and Ayala Art‘s 29 Faces Challenge. I’ll be posting to both challenges, and here on my blog every day.

I’ll be (loosely) using photobooth photos that I find online for my reference photos for these challenges. The series that I’m working on is called Collaged Photobooth Portraits. I hope to have 30 completed by the end of the month. Crossing fingers!

I made it two days over the halfway mark. Woohoo!! It’s all easy peasy from here on out, right? Actually, I’m finding this challenge really easy. I shouldn’t say that, since I know others are struggling. I don’t have a lot of life stuff going on, tho. Nothing. Nada. Life is pretty easy at the moment, for which I’m very grateful. No drama being created by anyone, and I’m stress free. I’m able to paint all I like.

I’m a few days ahead of schedule, and I really like that. I’ve done challenges like this before, and I was dragging myself in to blog after painting all day, and snapping a quick blurry picture. I knew I didn’t want that happening on this challenge. So, I painted ahead, meaning I got several paintings done in one day. That way I can schedule my blogs a few days ahead of time, and that really takes the pressure off me. I’m not a blog in the moment kind of gal, I’m just not. So, I can relax, and glide on through this challenge. 🙂 I’m still doing all the work, believe me. ha ha

I’ve noticed my comments have dwindled down, and I wonder how many of you are still in the game? hm..I’ll have to take a look around or leave me a comment here, and let me know how you’re doing.

Something a little different today..I painted something just for me! That’s a shocker!! I never paint for myself, so it was time. Yay! Collaged painting on my new notebook. I got my inspiration from Alisa Burke‘s blog post a couple weeks ago called Back to school altered notebooks. 🙂 I’m going to keep this one at my desk for jotting down notes while I’m online.

I need to hire a maid for my studio. There are three other tables that look worse than this one. No room to work!! Ack.

I found this on Pinterest the other day, so thought I’d share..When You Hate Your Handwriting: 8 Lettering Ideas for Your Art Journal. These are great ideas.

I’ve been camping and stuff, but if you left me in the woods I’d probably just curl up and cry until someone found me.

Golf Palette Knife Paintings

Girl’s Golf Day

Remember back in March when I mentioned I was painting a golf series? I have forgotten to post anything more about it. Oops. I still haven’t heard anything about the book, like if my paintings are going to be in it or when it’s being published. I thought I’d go ahead and post the paintings, tho. I know golf is a serious game. haha I tried to put a little comical spin on it. I hope my humor comes through. 🙂
