Detail of snake-in-a-pot painting...still working on this, nearly there!

Not quite finished with this. 

Also, not sure I want to keep the top background yellow...

Any comments about that?

I have a bit more done on this...but the MOST exciting thing for today

 is that I figured out, with the help of Katherine Tyrrell 

of the famous art blog,

 Making A Mark

(go there)

how to add an email subscription widget to my blog! (please note the box at top right)

Yayyyyy!!

Thank you so much Katherine, and Feedburner!

Quick sketch last night...

You can't really tell, but I was looking a bit down on this. 

I think because there is no background.

...and I ran out of paper for the feet!

This is all I had time for today - too much hub-ub.

This is on my easel...

but with all the hullaballoo going on, I have not had any chance to paint.

(bathroom remodels)

I need to get going on this 

AND 

finish my last Zoom-In, too, which is nearly done. 

For my next post I could show you the

reworked NewMexicoGirl.

Faces #2 - finished!

6" x 6", oil on panel

Here's a big hint. He wrote Coraline.

Y'all can start guessing now.

Face #2 (sketch)

Quick sketch on my panel of my next Faces painting.

This isn't someone I actually know, I just

think he is an awesome artist & writer.

New project

Faces #1
Kate (detail)

oil on panel, 6" x 6"

I will be working on painting faces, 

or heads actually, because they may not be facing forward.

It will be good practice.

Thanks for viewing and have a safe and happy 

Independence Day!

(still working on Zoom-Ins and

 re-working others that I thought were finished but were not...)
