A painting on my cup?

Picture is of my painting "Solitude"
Available at "The Old Woodshed" in Downtown Kelowna

My morning coffee is such a delight.  I recently join Cafepress to sell images of my art.  I think it might be nice to order a cup with a picture of my art on it, to savour my morning wake up brew.  I wonder if the coffee will taste better?

I'm now on Paintmap!

I finally did what I've wanted to do for awhile; I added a picture to Paintmap.  Because I focused on local landscapes for a couple of years, I have several pictures I want to add over the next few days.

The picture I added today is
"The Greenway".
Hope you enjoy it.

I'm a proud owner of one of Marlene G. McPherson's pieces.

After a little bit of fiddling I accomplished my goal.  I now have a piece of art in this weeks theme, "Blue" at Artmakr weekend.   My picture "Midnight Orchid" is in the private collection of a fellow artist Marlene McPherson from here in the Okanagan Valley.  I did a trade with her and am now the very proud owner of one of her original arcylics.   I've included a picture of her wonderful piece of art.  Check out her web page by clicking on her link.

Midnight Orchid

I found this site:  http://www.artmakrweekend.com ,  and wanted to enter their theme challenge for this week.  It's simply called, "blue".  The painting I want to enter is attached but I still haven't managed to enter it on their web site as yet.  I'll keep trying and maybe I'll muddle through.

All you fellow artists and art lovers, take a look.

My first big painting.

Japanese Garden
36"h x 24"w
Oil on stretched canvas.

I missed soup Sunday at church today.  It's such a great time to visit with friends.  Oh well... everyone has to take their turn working at the gallery on Sunday's.  It's located in Kelowna's biggest mall so I did have lots of people to talk with.  Some come in just to say, "Hi", which is kinda neat.

Today I'm adding a painting that I painted a couple years ago.  It was my first large painting; two foot by three foot.  I've done bigger since but at the time I thought I'd never finish it.  I think it took me close to four months before it was done.  (I paint in short shifts)

Have a great day.
