Feast or Famine .. Blog Wise That Is (painting, sketch)

It seems like I don't post for days and then can't be quiet.  And like I said before, posting on Friday is not supposed to be the best idea.  Well, that is when I have time this week.

Christy, my granddaughter wants the Monarch butterfly painting. I had better get busy and send it to her.

The Monarch, 7 x 5 inches, acrylic on canvas panel.

Most of my paintings are in Killeen at the show.  (Info on the sidebar to the right)  I HAD to paint something new to replace the butterfly at the Bastrop Fine Arts Guild Gallery.  I have had a foggy painting in my mind for a while.  I took some photos of our yard  in the fog as you recall and decided to give it a whirl.

The result was this painting, acrylic on wrapped canvas.  I will display it without a frame but I think a floater frame would look good on it.  I will put it at the gallery tomorrow, March 31, if you would like to see it in person.

One Oak or Two?, Acrylic on wrapped canvas.  8 x 16 inches.

The sides of One Oak or Two?

The painting is for sale, of course, and is $200, unframed.  Free shipping in the USA.  You can buy it through paypal, by check or by credit card.  You can buy now here on my Jo's Notions blog.

It has been beautiful weather, too.  I sat out on the porch and had my coffee and sketched this morning for Scavenger Hunt 262 with my iPad and the Brushes App.

Number 12, monochromatic - the foggy morning with all the greens running together.

I'm still a bit undecided about sketching on the iPad.  For sure it makes me think a bit.  But is the thinking is more toward how to use the app, than how to sketch the trees?  Hmmm.  This is more colorful than I see it on the iPad, but I just had a thought, it may be the protective cover I have on my screen.  I will have to remember that and allow for the difference.  It doesn't look very monochromatic here.
