LET'S GO TO A PAINT PARTY

It's time for Debbie's big Paint Party at http://www.debbie-debbiedoos.blogspot.com  Now I will admit I haven't been doing to much painting, our temps have been in the 100's for three weeks!I did manage to get a few things done, mainly by going out at 5:30 in the morning!Of course in this heat it was dry by 5:35!LOL! This is a birdhouse that I bought and while I loved it, I just couldn't leave well enough alone.

A coat of paint and a few embellishments and it's a whole different look.

This was just an old chair I bought with the idea to use it in my garden somewhere. I decided to do something fun with it. You know the joke is that we eat Moon Pies in the South-it's a kind of cookie. Now I tried one, but they are not for me, but I thought it would be cute to paint one on this chair. I keep it in my garden house-usually with a plant sitting on it.Now go on by the party to get some more ideas-I will be filing them away for when it's cooler-probably about November her in my part of the South!!

BRAGGING TIME

I know you aren't supposed to brag, but I am real happy that these two paintings have won so many ribbons. The one on the left got two first places and the other got two firsts, and a sweepstakes and best in show. I am linking to http://www.smilingsally.blogspot.com/  and http://www.skiptomylou.org/  for their weekly parties.    

A NEW PAINTING

This is a new painting that I just finished. It is an acrylic wash- something new for me, but I like it very much. I saw this picture in an old magazine, and thought it would be perfect to practice this tecnique on. I am joining up with The Persimmon Perch today.
