I got work to do!

I grew up in a chicken world.  Every spring my folks got 100-200 baby chicks, they became "fryers".  We always had the hens too.  Big white hens usually, that's where the eggs came from.  There was always a rooster around too, but the hens were the ones that produced.  I'm just saying...

Day 11 of thirty paintings in 30 days "Frosted"

I am on day 11 of the thirty paintings in 30 days!  Back to the Pellegrino bottles, lots of color...blue, turquoise, yellow, red-orange and green.  A couple of vintage metal baskets are in the background.  These bottles have a "frosted" look (back to my original reference to hair).  The frosted blue bottles were fun to paint, I really didn't know they were going to look frosted, so once again I learned something on this painting.  Thank you again for following me as I paint through January.
PS...I will be painting every month this year, but I am using this month to branch out and loosen up with my painting.  It feels good.

Day 10 Thirty paintings in 30 days Zippin along!

Day 10 of the thirty paintings in 30 days and I must say I am zipping along!  Long before I painted I sewed.  I started sewing when I was 10 years old.  Sewing became very natural to me, I say "I sew by sight" like some people play music by ear.  I don't sew very often anymore, but when I do I love it.  I ran across this vintage zipper that I had saved when looking for something recently.  I picked it up and it brought back sweet memories for me.  Memories of when zippers still had metal teeth and REALLY messed up the sewing machine when you got into them!  My sweet Mother (a master at the machine) would have to help me out of that one every time.  I couldn't hardly leave that zipper where I found it.  I wanted to work with it in a new way, I wanted to paint it.  Simple subject with simply wonderful memories for me.  I hope you like it.  Thank you for following me as I paint through January.
