Ding Dong the House is Gone

It is a done deal. Hard for me to believe, the house is no longer my responsibility. It does seem like forever. Now maybe my projects will move on and me too. I attended a
"Stamp Camp" and made a bunch of cards. Not art, but a mental health boost. I had a great time. The easel card is my favorite.

Two pieces at the Egyptian Theatre

The house project is still in progress. Art work has taken a back burner for a time, but I currently have two paintings in the KVAL exhibit at Egyptian Theatre DeKalb, IL. Both are studies for larger works to be done in the Lilac Flower series. (Lilacs on Mint [10"x10"] Small Bunch on Orange [9"x7"]. The larger bouquet study has been sold. I have been working on the Bonsai trees mentioned in my last post. I will get a new post up soon.

New Fun Project

I have not been as attentive to my blog as I had planned to be. My new fun project has been painting barns on frying pans. The project is almost finished. I am waiting for client approval. On the other hand the project consuming most of my time in June and July has been preparing the Crystal Lake Road McHenry house for market. Not art, but lots of painting, fixing, and loads of hard work. Now that it is listed I can get back to things like the frying pan project. I have more reference photos of clouds and sunflowers to work with. I also had a trip to Chicago Botanical Gardens and have loads of flower and Bonsai trees for reference. So lots of new work is planned.
