En-route to Northport

# 112 En-route to Northport  6.25 H x 18 W ~ Acrylic on paper

Got back home yesterday, after spending 2 weeks up in northern lower peninsula, Michigan. One of the weeks was spent with a group of very talented artists at Camp Edee... (Edee Joppich organizes us) The other week near Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. So very inspiring.

character studies 1 and 2

"i am feeling blue...because my belt doesn't match my shoes...and i have a tooth that's loose..."

Just cracking myself up. Yes... VERY easily amused. Plugging away at my challenge... working on larger works at the same time. Sort of difficult for me to switch gears, but it is doable. :-)

pig daydreams....

#109 Pig Daydreams ~ 5x7 mixed media

I was doodling while watching tv... and this is what happened. The pig is standing in the sunshine, daydreaming, and oinking in his sleep. :-)

magnolias... three more times

#106 Magnolia 5 ~ 5x7 Acrylic

#108 Midnight Magnolia ~ 5x7 Acrylic

#107 Magnolia 4 ~ 5x7 Acrylic and Oil pastel

Well, this is the last of the Magnolias... at least in this size. I like doing this type of repetition... They are all very different, but have the same theme. Not production line... but fast and loose because there's always the next one to paint.

magnolias again and again

#105~  Magnolia 3~ 5 x 7 ~ Acrylic and oil pastel

#104~ Magnolia 2 ~ 5 x 7 ~ Acrylic

#103 ~ Magnolia 1 ~ 5x7 ~ Acrylic

There are quite a few Magnolia's in our new 'hood. Instant inspiration. 

pink rockets and a balloon

#95 Pink Rockets and a Balloon ~ 6x6 ~ acrylic on panel

I have no idea where this comes from... I make a mess... and then cover it up. :-)

Rock Pile

Rock Pile 1 through 6 delivered to Synchronicity Gallery in Glen Arbor, MI

Here are numbers 89 through 94 in my challenge (6 paintings a week for a year) I'm making it a lot easier for people to find Petoskey Stones.... I'm always trying to help. :-)
