Dark pink and white roses – Day 24 of 30 in 30
Remember when I told you my husband was building me shelves for my oil paintings? I now have them throughout my studio, office, and shipping room. Some of them are huge, like 7 feet long. !! I’ll show you more photos later. For now, I’ll just say, I’m beyond thrilled. I no longer have to use precious work table space to dry oil paintings..which can take about a month, since I don’t like using the quick drying mediums. I found the medium to be very yellowing, completely changing the color of my paint as it dried. It also made my oil paint feel rubbery. Maybe I did it wrong? Or maybe it was the brand I used? Have you had good experience with it?
This is an acrylic impasto painting on 16×20 canvas. Dark pink and white roses painted with palette knives. This is Flower Series No 139, and it’s available for purchase here.
It’s day 24 of 30 in 30. Only one week to go! If you’re just joining in, I’ve been posting every day for the month of January, so be sure to click on my name at the top of the page, and then scroll down to see more.
The best thing about my floral paintings is they last forever. There will be no wilting, no sagging in the vase, no browning of leaves, no dying, and no watering needed. Also for allergy suffers like me, no sneezing or itchy watery eyes. This is the most excellent news!!

Day 23 of 30 in 30.
I got thinking about it the other day, and I’ve had Netflix for at least ten years now. I was quick to jump on the bandwagon when it first launched. I was living out in the middle of nowhere in a milo field, and getting DVDs in the mail was so convenient. I didn’t have to drive into the city, and find a Blockbuster. And, then came streaming. Laaaaa!! One of the happiest days of my life. 🙂
Over time, I’ve become one of those people who must always be in the middle of a series. Ever since I abruptly pulled the plug on Californication, and gave it one star (Season 1 was so good. What happened??? Ew!!), I’ve been looking for something to watch, which is not as easy as it sounds. I spent a lot of time just looking. I tried Madmen, but I was soooo bored, I couldn’t even get through the first few episodes. I kept falling asleep. I’m not sure how it got to be such a hit, it moves very s l o w l y.
So, I was in limbo for a few weeks, until I remembered an old favorite, Desperate Housewives. I watch a season or two when it was on tv, but then I moved halfway across the country, and didn’t have cable for a while. Now, I’m about 3/4 the way through season 3 now, and I’m hooked! Completely obsessed!
If you’re wondering where I’m watching it now that Netflix has dropped the show, I have HuluPlus. I tolerate ads for this show, and I HATE ads. It’s worth it, tho.
This is my guilty pleasure confession of the day. What series are you watching?

I paint about two or three weeks ahead of what I post here on the blog, sometimes more. That’s what happens when you find your groove, and you’re a daily painter. I get way ahead of myself, and constantly have to backtrack when I’m here in computerland. Even though I spend hours on the computer every day, I can’t do the office work as fast as I paint, but it’s okay. I keep everything moving forward this way. It makes knowing what I’m going to post a breeze.
So, if I’ve counted right, I already have my paintings for the challenge finished. I still need to photograph, edit them, and blog, but it feels great to breathe a little sigh of relief. It’s all downhill from here. Day 21 of 30 in 30

Spending more time on the computer than painting

Three days. That’s how long it took me to paint 10 5x7s, plus 4 6x6s. Not that I’m keeping track of my time because I never do. My nose is always to the grindstone, so I don’t know if I make good time or not. All I know is that I spend far more time on the computer editing photos, and writing out descriptive listings than I do painting. Which is a shame, isn’t it? I need a studio assistant who does the office work for me, so I can take naps every day paint more. What a great life that would be, eh? 🙂

I painted the sides black, and then changed my mind. I chose a creamy, buttery, light yellow that I mixed myself instead. It’s almost white, but not quite.
Tell me, why is it every single time I type “cottage chic”, I type “cottage chick” instead? My brain, it needs help, I swear.
