It is almost a month since my last post. The month of August has been a busy one for us. We took a short trip to Newport News, VA to visit family at the beginning of August. The same day we got back Samantha's boyfriend arrived from SC for a visit. The day after he left our friends Terry and Libby from MI came and stayed a few days. We enjoyed all the company and our trip but I had little time for painting. Here is a photo of us with Terry and Libby who were our bowling team partners when we lived in MI.
I had started work on a painting at the end of July and worked on it on and off between our trip and all the company. It is a new version of a painting I did twice when I lived in Tucson. Both of those paintings sold. One sold in Tucson and the other sold when I lived in Michigan. I thought I should do another one now that I live in North Carolina. I call this one "Rainbow Ruffles". The size is 20X16.
I have not decided what subject I will paint next. I might do an abstract or maybe another floral. I am not sure which direction to go in. I will have to stare at a blank canvas until I "see" something.
I mentioned at the beginning of this post that August was a busy month. I realized that not just August was busy but the whole year has been busy with lots of visitors. I counted back and so far we have had 12 groups of friends or family come to spend time with us since the first of the year. I am not counting those who came in the 6 months after we moved to NC last year. We have enjoyed seeing everyone that has been here. We still have 4 months in 2019 left and I expect we will have more company come during that time.
