Another small aceo size painting and ...

White spring azaleas (don't they look like snow), and a beautiful flower that my sweet daughter got me for 

Mother's Day. 

Redbird in a Red bud tree ~ This is an original painting, aceo size, 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches in acrylics and charcoal pencil.

It's been a while since I've made another painting but I did paint this one for the nfac contest in ebay this month. I couldn't resist since the theme was 'trees'! :) I hope everyone is having a great spring ~ Lynette

FINISHED (almost) ~ I painted this mural in the small bedroom of my daughter and her boyfriend's house. This was my housewarming gift to them. Chris likes to hunt and he is going to fix up the room like an outdoor wonderland now. Kristie took the other spare bedroom for the computer and tanning bed. :) That's their Weimeraner (sure I misspelled that) Phantom looking through the door. I was used to painting very small, but I'm looking forward to trying more landscapes on some larger canvases now!

Spinny Leaf ~ I haven't posted in a while, but good grief blogger has changed so much since the last time I created a post! I just wanted to share a little treasure of nature, a leaf caught in a piece of spider web in the crape myrtle tree in the front yard, that I captured this week on video. It was spinning like crazy! Yes, fall is here and winter is not far behind. I hope everyone is doing great!

Yeaa!! ~ I'm almost done with Chris's 'duck room' mural! I still have one more half wall to paint in a snow scene. This is the biggest painting project I've ever taken on. Chris and my daughter Kristie have been living together for going on 7 years and they bought the cutest house just up the road from us almost a year ago.

"BEEP BEEP" ~ I have really missed entering the monthly Nibblefest art contest in Ebay. I'm thrilled I finally have one to list tonight. This is an aceo size painted in acrylics. I had already painted the desert background, but always found it was somehow unfinished. The theme in the NFAC contest this month is 'feathered friends'. That gave me an idea of how to finish this desert scene! TGIF I hope everyone has a great weekend!
