Trouble 12 x 12 pastel
I went to pick up my work from the Jackson Gallery today and found that Trouble went home with a new collector over the weekend. I will miss him, but am delighted he has found a forever home.

Day 14 Market Onions
Market Onions 5 x 7 pastel
Missed yesterday. I tried and tried and it wasn't happening. Nothing good to post. It happens.
These onions are from a farmer's market, not sure where, but they remind me of summer— which we need right now in Vermont!

Bucky
Bucky 7 x 5 pastel
I took a break for a day or two. But today I was inspired by a few things: the weather image on my iPhone— not the temp as much as the background color— and my virgin box of Terry Ludwig Turquoise.
It's been said (by my husband) "There is no substitute for the little black dress" and I say there is no substitute for a dash of turquoise. In this case I took it seriously.
As I was painting, and fussing... I came up with a great line:
Leave it or grieve it
I think my artist friends will relate to this. And maybe it applies to life in general.

Day 9 Rocks, Please
Rocks, Please 6 x 6 pastel
I had so much fun painting Neat, Please that I wanted to try something like it again.
I found this image I took in Montreal. We were in a French bistro and it was Christmas. I remember the warm feeling and the way the restaurant glowed.

Day 8 Halfway, Again
Halfway, Again 6 x 6 pastel
I sliced open a glorious Indian River Red grapefruit this afternoon and knew what I was going to paint today. This is a revisit, which explains "again." I painted this five years ago. Things have changed.

Day 7 Fast Radish
Fast Radish 6 x 6 pastel
Fast because I didn't have much time to paint today. Radishes reappeared in my life a few years ago after a long absence and now I can't have a salad with out them.

Day 6 Neat, Please
Neat, Please 6 x 6 pastel
Day 6 — Today is Epiphany, the day Canadians take down the Christmas decor. Maybe they sip a nice single malt with Bing Crosby crooning in the background. Cheers!
