Flowers For Ruthie

Flowers For Ruthie
Watercolor 7x7

These flowers were painted for a special friend here in Naples.    The painting doesn't come close to the beauty of the flowers she has given me.  Thanks so much Ruthie!

Love vacation time!  I get to paint what ever I want.  Sometimes you need that..  A lot less like work when your painting for yourself not for others.  Not that I mind commission work and while I do enjoy painting what others like.. I find I'm more connected to the subject.
Here are two that I have been wanting to do for a few weeks. Its raining here.. but that is ok. .More time to paint!
 

Olgelbayfest

  A little note to for those who sent emails wondering if I had stopped painting. Nope.. I have been busy painting and getting ready getting ready for this show.  Hope be posting pieces in a few days or so.  Thanks for asking.. :-) 

Also.. I wanted to thank everyone who attended the Olgelbayfest and of course the Olgelbay Stifel staff as well.  It was a great time and I sold quite a few of my small works and all of my roosters but one!  Got a handful of commissions so all in all it was a good show.
