Ladies In Waiting...

I've been a little busy with painting which is always a good thing.
I should slow down a bit and save my energy for September's 30
Paintings in 30 Days challenge. I always begin with so much gusto
and a few days in am either struck with a little creative block and/or
busy with the typical things in life that get in the way of painting, such as
working, cleaning house, running errands, cooking dinner, etc. etc...
How Dare the Necessities of Life Get in the Way of Painting! :)
However this year I am determined to begin strongly and end strongly.
So watch this space!
Here are 2 ladies waiting to be epoxied. 
I will try to get a picture once the process is done, but
the glare is often a problem.

I can not count the amount of times I've attempted to do a painting a day and somewhere along the way...well, you know. Basically it did not happen. This time, I decided to actually join a group of painters doing so on http://lesliesaeta.blogspot.com/ . So we shall see if the camaraderie will make a difference and keep me on track. I'm off to a good start. I am organized. I decided that week one would be my version of several postcards I've collected from all over the world. The first is a postcard advertising the film The Last September. I know it stars Maggie Smith but, I've had it so very long that I actually can not remember anything about it or even if I've seen it. But I thought it would be appropriate for this 30 Day Challenge in September. I used Acrylic on Watercolor Paper. I've been working on loosening up and not worrying so much about the little details or I'd never get a painting done in a day. So hopefully this challenge will not only keep me ...

Day 2 I was quite excited that I awoke with a painting plan. That is progress already. I've painted my favorite reading chair before, but this time I put it in context... I wanted to label some of my favorite books, BUT since I'm determined not to get too detail orientated and just enjoy painting, I did not. But that is not to say, I will not return to it another day and add some titles. The Green chair in the Library Oil on Canvas 18" X 24" by Rachel Jones

Day Five! OK, I should not really be to excited about day five since I did not actually Paint today, BUT.....I did art related stuff. I've lost my voice (husband has smile on face) and running slight fever while coughing profusely. So actually painting was not an option. However, I managed to drag my bones out of bed for  a moment to deliver paintings to a couple of guys who asked me to do a mixture for their new offices http://www.rdytogo.com/ . They come up with great new apps and  recently even got to ring the NASDAQ bell! VERY talented young guys. These web designers and needed something to entertain their array of clients as they sit in the conference room. This is what I came up with and they were tickled pink ( my description and what a painter always wants to see when they are told to do "whatever it is that you do").
