But in the end… 
Welcome one another.

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").

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 ...

 June is the beginning of some special shows locally and afar. The 2nd Annual Art and Wine event in Georgetown, SC has a juried show which THE SPEECH OF FLOWERS is included. Also, Sunset River Gallery in Calabash, NC currently is showing Small Works. I did a series of three oil paintings on 5 inch panels. I experimented with a Zorn palette mostly. There were a few extra colors added to achieve certain effects, but I will still persist with the Zorn combination. They are titled  WHISPERS 1,2,&3. Enjoy. -r UPDATE: THE SPEECH OF FLOWERS is also in a digital show for Cape Cod Cultural Center. Click on  This Link  to enjoy the other show entries. This piece is currently available (22” X 30” on Arches paper unframed) and dreamy if I must say so myself.  The Speech of Flowers by Rachel Jones     WHISPERS III, I, and II (order pictured)
