Great to See Jackie Gleason Again and If Stupidity Were...

I don't have a lot to say about my paintings today except that I am surprised I'm not covering them up this time.  I had gotten to the point that It was too difficult to do anything else if I could see my current paintings so I covered them after my sessions.  This time I am checking them out through the day without grabbing a paint brush and turning on the exhaust fan.  Art is a weird but fascinating experience.

One of my all time favorite programs is the Honey Mooners with the late, great Jackie Gleason. Roanoke has started a station called MeTV with the programs of the sixties.  Jackie Gleason was an incredible entertainer and it is wonderful to see him and his terrific cast again.  No one could turn dancing into comedy the way he did.  What fun!

My husband is always coming home with stories about drivers that practically hit him while they are on the cell phone, tailgators that practically climb into the trunk, and speeders that almost run him over.  He has decided that if stupidity were gasoline there would be no shortage anywhere.  We would have an endless supply.

So Glad to Sell Two More Prints and Comment on the Good Life

I am so pleased to sell my first Acrylic print!  I'm not sure how long that option has been up but I know I haven't sold that type of print before.  This time the print was of one of my oil pastel paintings of Mountain Lake in Giles County VA.  This was the setting for the popular movie "Dirty Dancing" with Patrick Swayze.  It is a beautiful resort and I have stayed there several times with my husband and son.  I haven't met the medium I don't like but oil paint is my favorite and most of my work is in oils though I do have oil and soft pastel paintings, lithographs, charcoal drawings, and some water media works.  Watercolors are beautiful but they are too fragile for me.  If left in enough light the painting will fade away.  Not so with oils or pastels.

Also glad to sell a regular print of "Reaching Out" which is one of my nude drawings.  I am so glad my nudes are well received.  I think they are elegant and tasteful.

Last Friday we were in heavy traffic when a car jerked in front of us causing my husband to break to keep from hitting it.  The car had a covered tire on the back that had the words The Good Life on it in fun playful letters.  My husband said they should add, Especially when I am getting ahead by cutting you off.
