Today is Thursday. Some guy keeps calling me on my cell non-stop to trim my trees. He said earlier he would be getting his licence for tree work back soon and a huge red flag started waving like crazy in front of me. LOL..he needs to read the book "Permission Marketing" by Seth Godin. Great book.
So my day in the studio went well. Worked on commission work and a new Saving a Lab a Day painting. He's really a Flat Coated Retriever but he needs a forever home so I painted him.
I also realized I am running out of oil paints. I squeezed, and I mean I rung, the tube of yellow medium to get the very last ooze out of it. Just enough to mix with my favorite color in the world to use, Pthalo Blue. It's a wonder strong blue, almost overpowering if you aren't careful and it also has a tendancy to get on everything. My nose, my clothes, the dogs, and , sigh, my only oriental small carpet in the living room. How???. We also have a cat.
Linda Shantz and Kim Santini host a Virtual pARTy. http://www.the-virtual-party.blogspot.com . The reference photo was taken by Kim Santini and this is my interpretation of the image. A lot of fun.
Today was an exciting day. I painted commissions and made calls I had been putting off. A positive day!!
I have to say I love this painting. I just bought a pack of 10 Raymar medium cotton canvas wood panels 7" x 5". Absolutely fantastic to paint on and a great professional finish to them. I am hooked.!! 
I Loved the patterns, the design elements. This painting is 40" x 40" x 2". Another passion of mine is painting large!!!.jpg)
