NEW PAINTINGS...MOVING RIGHT ALONG

I got two new paintings finished and listed yesterday and am moving along with a couple more today. I'm trying to get myself into a daily routine of accomplishment. One of the paintings is a botanical, The Poetry of Leaves", done in my developing botanical style... this one has a more unusual layout than some of the others. The other one is the result of my first experimentation with drip and spatter abstracts that I talked about in my previous posting. I have a lot to learn and a lot more experimenting to do, but I think this one is quite presentable. I'm very pleased with the marble technique using the angel cake cutter. I put it up on eBay as a featured listing to let the art buyers know that I'm doing some work in that style...and because I think abstract paintings get lost easily as regular listings. Anyway, this is the first day of the auction and it already has a "watcher" and quite a few hits. That is encouraging. I had so much fun doing it that I really want to have success selling it so I can do some more! I have posted the two new paintings below for my blog readers to see and comment. There is a close up of the marbling technique below the abstract painting.

I'm working on a couple of very large botanicals today. One will be in an unusual color combination of purple and turquoise. Hopefully I will have photos to show tomorrow.

Oona got her heat this morning. It has only been 5 months since the last one, so I'm not so thrilled. We're in the "maxy pad" stage now and for the next ten days, so I don't have to worry about her and Traveler having any little accidents...yet. It's the ten days after that when she will have to go and stay with Dale and Penny (the breeders) while she is "flagging". That is a term, for those of you who are not familiar with doggie courtship, that refers to the time when the female is ready and willing to mate. It starts after the bleeding stops and is the hell on wheels time of trying to keep the two dogs apart. Never a dull moment!
