A Year Ago Today

I was going to say something about Freda's passing which took place on this day November last but I think I'll just post what Suzy had to bark earlier today.

Today is the one year anniversarys of Freda's crossing the Rainbow Bridge. I always wonders why I adopted the peeps I did. I may have found a clue.


Me


Freda

sD likes to drinks black and tans and after looking at the above photos, maybe it was fates.

Freda had a long distant relationship with an Aussie named Charlie.


Charlie. Freda always barked him "Charles".

I hear that Charlie and Freda were quite an items. They were very close being so far aways from each other. They each even enjoyed smelling red hot pokers in their respective yards. Unfortunately, Charlie too crossed the bridge last August. It is nice to knows that they are now rompings together on the other sides of the Rainbow Bridge.

Everys day we walk to the same place where this film was shot. I can see why it was one of Freda's favorite places. I love it too.



I know there is a hole in sD's hearts but he tells me that I am doing a greats job of filling it. I think that is why he loves me so much and I loves him.

A Chair, A Pear and Cheese

This weekend is our local Arts and Crafts Faire. I thought something small and of local interest might entice a buyer or two to part with a few dollars.


6"x8" Water Soluble Oil

I used a dragonfly I found drowned in our bird bath.


A natural model.

After seeing a few Van Goghs on our European trip, I thought it would be interesting to paint something of a Van Gogh theme.


15"x9" Watercolor canvas

I enjoyed painting the chair and the pear.

The Judge

Just about done with my latest lighthouse in watercolor. It is painted on Fredrix Watercolor Canvas.


A waiting Suzy's opinion.

Will let it sit for a while and look at it again. If it's acceptable, I will sign, mat and frame it.

My First Dragonfly

I finally uploaded the first dragonfly watercolor I painted to my online gallery at ImageKind.com


Out On a Limb

It is of the more popular paintings I have completed.

Lighthouse D

Have been piddling around with the background of Lighthouse D since I began this painting several months ago. Think the sky is about complete. Here is a bit of the painting:


On watercolor canvas.

Once I'm satisfied with the mountains and hills I will again tackle the cliffs and water.

Kick in the Butt

Have just not been in the mood to paint lately. Now I need to decide if I want to hang more paintings at the Nines Restaurant or not. Rotation occurs Monday. Do I want to part with any more paintings I have at home? Guess that is the difference betwixt a hobbyist and a painter. I gave away three paintings this month. Two lighthouses and one rooster. Better start painting to fill the coffer.

I could add one or two paintings to my online gallery at Imagekind.com. Good idea. Thanks.

Restoration

Did a little restoration on an old watercolor a friend picked up at a sale. Turned out to his satisfaction. Returned the favor with a bottle of Bogle's Phantom v.2005. Very nice. Forgot to take before and after photos. Nuts!
