I participated in the Porter County Master Gardeners Show yesterday and it was a very nice event.  The crowd was enormous!  There was a seed and bulb exchange, various speakers who had expertise in plants and gardening, and many vendors with unique treasures for the yard.  I displayed mostly floral and bird paintings at this event; many found treasures that they purchased and took home with them. 

Yep, it's me and it's been sixteen days since my last blog post.  Seems like a long time, but it IS an improvement over last year!  I am putting the finishing touches on a new painting, Poppy Pair.  It's a 12 x 12 Acrylic.  I photographed it before putting on the clear coat as it is almost impossible to get an image without a lot of reflection after it is applied.

At the top of my lists of goals for 2010 is to become a "better blogger".  I am an artist not a writer and if you look too closely at my grammar that will be evident. (smile)   Several of you have asked about new paintings and I realize that I haven't posted any of those recently either.  I spent the weeks before Christmas working on a large painting for my son for Christmas.  I have been having some health problems as of late and because of this an artist friend offered to help me on the painting.  The painting is a 3' x 4' acrylic and we completed it days before Christmas.  My son was completely surprised and loves his new painting.
