Three 6X6 paintings

I have not left the house this week because I have a bug of some kind.  I thought at first I was coming down with cold.  I started taking zinc as the first symptoms started on Saturday evening.  I had a tickle in my throat and some coughing.  After 5 days, nothing has changed.  I never did get a runny nose and I haven't had a fever,  I have a bit of a cough and a raspy voice.  I start out the mornings feeling pretty good but as the day goes on I run out of energy. I think the zinc has helped to keep it from getting worse.

 We have had great weather so I can sit on the porch or take a short walk and being in the sun makes me feel better.  It is raining this morning but hopefully we will get some sun later today and I will get over this "thing" soon.

I have been spending some time each morning working on small paintings.  I completed three of them. The size of each is 6X6.  Here is what I accomplished.

They are titled:  "Hummingbird",  "Endless Rose", and "Grandpa's Truck".  The first two are patterns that I have done many times before and the truck painting is something new.  Here are close-ups.

I refinished a tray yesterday.  That will be my next project.  I'm not sure what my subject will be.  I will also be working on 3 more small paintings.  I'll feature them all in my next blog post. 

I mentioned the nice weather we have had this week.  After what seemed an endless winter and no spring, we seemed to jump right into summer.  The bulbs we planted in the fall finally bloomed a few days ago.
