I have been painting like crazy. I don't like to eat pears but they are my favorite fruit to photograph and paint.

This pear is painted on watercolor paper using acrylics.

 I have also been painting florals, We will call it my floral series.  This one we'll call yellow and blue.

this we will call, purple and yellow.

 This we will call, blue and red.

This is blue and yellow!!

Wow, That is way too much work.  To name every painting. I need to practice that a lot more.
It has been such a long time since I painted.  But I am so glad I did, It makes my day a brighter day.

When you love what you have, you have everything you need.

I have been keeping busy by painting angels.  This is an angel I painted over paper with acrylics, pastels and old book novel wings dusted with gold pastel.

This angel is also acrylic on watercolor paper with a gold halo.

Another acrylic angel on watercolor paper.

I did the Lodi Street Faire last Sunday. I'm a planner and this was going to be perfect.  I have a notebook were I scetched  what my booth was supposed to look like.  I practiced a full set up at home days before, I knew where everything was going. I walked on Church Street to find my spot.  I was ready! 

  Sunday my husband and my daughter go help me, Three cars may I add! My husband was dropping of the tables and leaving to work the Harvest Fest at my daughters school and my daughter was going to help my set up then she was on her was to work at Starbucks. It is so dark it's almost impossible to see the booth numbers but I know where I'm going. I get there and someone is in my spot! We have three cars in the middle of the street and I don't know where I'm supposed to be so, I get in my daughters car drive home get my papers that tell where I should be I get back find my spot and start unloading. My daughter and I start setting up. Then someone parks next to me and tells me I'm in their spot!! Then she asked to see my paperwork and kindly lets me know I'm a half of block down the street!  We carried and dragged boxed, tables, and tent down the street, where a vendor was also moving next to me and apologized for taking my spot!!  By this time I can see clearly, I wasted one whole hour! After all that my daughter and I set up like a pair of pros we were done in no time and were ready for the day!

My booth was not how I planned it but, I was happy with it. Can't wait for the next time.  I's gong to be amazing!!!

I added a small table to promote my art classes at Hutchins Street Square in Lodi 

On Friday Hutchins Street Square had an Open House. I was invited to promote the art classes I will be teaching in January 2013.  It's going to be soooo much fun!
