Today is the last day of June. I can't believe how long it has been since my last post. In the time since my May post and today much has happened to keep us busy. In mid-May we had family members come for a week-long visit. As soon as they left, we started replacing the floor in our downstairs great room and refacing our fireplace. This was a huge project and took a number of weeks to complete. I will post photos in a future post. I also spent many hours in my studio creating art for a new display at the Owl and Rabbit Gallery.
Before I show those paintings, I will post the Santa paintings I did for our son Mark that I mentioned in my last post. The first photos are before and after of the ceramic Santa I repainted.
This next photo is the Triple Santa painting I did for Mark to add to his Santa collection.
I usually do a theme for my display at the Owl & Rabbit Gallery. This time I chose to paint butterflies, fruit and birds. I did a number of canvas paintings and quite a few craft items. Here is what I now am showing at the gallery.
I'll start with the fruit items. I did 4 canvas paintings featuring fruit.
This first one is called "Tutti-Frutti".
The next one is "Green and Yellow Fruit"
This one is "Poppies & Pears"
And the last one is "Pots, Plants and Pomegranates"
I also did some craft items featuring fruit.
I did one butterfly painting which is a new version of "Flight of Fancy" along with a couple of butterfly craft items.
I did a couple of small trays. One has birds and one butterflies.
My crosses are a big seller, so I painted 10 of them. Three are standing and the others are hanging.
This last painting is one I did for myself. I call it "Painting for Me". I did a little rearranging in my living room area and had an open wall that needed a painting, and this is what I did
My next project is a peacock painting for our son Brian, and I have a couple of craft items that I must do for a neighbor.
I'll post photos of our new floors and fireplace in a new blog soon.
