WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT IS THAT DOG DOING HERE

12X16 oil. My Tuesday group painted at Patty's Holly Lane Farm this week. This place is an inspiration as is the owner. She is in her 70's (I don't think she would mind my saying that), the farm is 9 acres. She has a B&B, caters and hosts wedding receptions, sells eggs and her breads at the Farmer's Market, is mother to chickens, ducks, geese and llamas, grows veggies and flowers and it exhausts me to think about it. Wonderful morning we had there, and and such fun to listen to the stories.

My title is what the llamas are saying!

DABOB BAY, SILVERDALE

12x16 oil An alternative title could have been Waiting for the Car to be Serviced, because this is what Donna Trent and I did before lunch. I might add that we had a really good lunch at The Mediteranian Restaurant near Trader Joe's.

FISH PARK IN POULSBO WA

12X16 oil. Mostly painted with a palette knife again. I am taking the photo with my IPad. Not sure if they reproduce as well as my camera but on the IPad the image is rich. I am also playing with a painting program called Artrage on my IPad and am finding it fun and another challenge.

BARN AGAIN

12X16 oil. Another lovely sunny day. I have been painting on YES pad pages but now I have found YES panels which is the same triple primed cotton but on a board. Much easier to transport and still inexpensive. May not be archival.
