What a Find!

I was gallivanting around on a lazy Saturday morning right after the sun had risen. I had noticed a garage sale sign so I decided to follow the direction of a hand drawn arrow on a piece of cardboard which led me to a junk filled backyard. There was an old typewriter, some vintage metal frames, a trunk filled with old letters and black and white postcards, a few ceramic bottles, some trinkets and jewelry, and a couple of used surfboards that looked dinged up. Good stuff but nothing that I would collect, I thought. Then I peered across the way to find this painting. The guy only wanted a $1! What a steal I said to myself, so I whipped out a dollar and secured my purchase!

Blue Jeans on a Dryer

This is the watercolor that I painted of the pair of jeans. It's drying on my dryer. Below is a close up.

Merry Christmas

 As Christmas nears, I'm behind schedule with gifts and cards. That is because I'm too busy painting and blogging. Ha ha ha! At least the designs are holiday cheer images. Perhaps I should print a stack and send them out as belated thoughts of season's greetings. Or should I send them out next year as early holiday wishes in 2011?

A Shrimpy Study

A study in watercolor
The three amigos did their last dance. They trotted and loped and squatted and hoped, bathing in butter they became smothered and so they all choked.
Sketch to be painted

The sketch above was painted with oil paint and is currently drying. Some details need to be added.
