and finally...Lindsey George

 so this is Lindsey George!.. the last in this seven-portrait series... I had so much fun doing this for Rosemary.. and she was so patient with me through a long struggle!  I have to say it's not the easiest thing capturing these little peeps..but those eyes...those eyes...

and here's Keller!

 so here's Keller.. more of those gorgeous blue eyes!.. unbelievable!.. it was fun to work from photos of them at about the same age.. they're all much older now and so Rosemary is happy to have these memories of a certain time...

this is Owen

 So this is Owen!.. another gorgeous child with those mesmerizing eyes!! We are home from a week on St. Simons and have so much to do...re-entry gets harder and harder.. for one thing.. we're not used to it with covid..no place to go...and for another ..EVERYTHING is harder the older you get!..but i am so happy and grateful to be getting older!!!

This is Lilly...

So this is sweet Lilly.. all of there paintings are 6x6 before framing.. My friend Rosemary has finally hung them on her wall and i think she's happy.  We just spent a week in our old stomping grounds, St. Simons Island, Georgia where we played four rounds of golf, ate and drank, played tons of mah jong and i cleared out a bunch of paintings from Glynn Art while they are repainting.  They'll be going back but for now they are staying with my friend Jiffy. She's been visiting the island for many, many years and has just moved there.. she feels like she's on "permanent vacation"!  And, as we're just returning from a week away, there is so much to do in the way of re-entering.  And then there's napping too!!

next is Charlie

 so this is Charlie.. same gorgeous blue eyes.. they don't have the dark rims around them as much as all the others do.. such gorgeous babes!  i managed to get that Milo commission done and now we are taking a small break..i may be able to post but i may not..stay tuned@!

emergency commission!! this is Milo

 So this is Milo.. as you can see, he's a very serious "blue nose pit".. i think i  might like to have him guarding ME!!.. i'm so used to golden retrievers. .definitely NOT the best guard dogs.. unless you want them to lick someone to death!!.. so the reason i say "emergency"... my friend Carrie texted  me on Thursday, asking about a commission of her dog as a birthday present for her hubby.. i said sure...we chatted about size, etc.. then i had the forethought to ask: "when IS this birthday, anyway?"  she laughed and said "Sunday!!"...so.. miracle worker that i am...i said let's see if i can get this done for you!!..and i did!!!  that's part of what i love about what i do!!  her momma picked it up this afternoon..in plenty of time for the big birthday celebration tomorrow!.. so much fun!!!

and this is Ella Rose

 So here's the second in our series.. This is Ella Rose, another gorgeous girl!.. Honestly, the eyes on these peeps...mesmerizing!  I had some fun today.. I ventured out to Timbergate to play golf with the girlies.. There were only four of us but it was perfect!!.. I took a lesson last week from Jeff Smith.. hadn't in a few years... he's now based at Timbergate and we worked on my grip and stance and holding my angle and using my body...when it worked it worked.. but when I flipped..as is my wont..just same old same old!.. I highly recommend him!!.. great guy and great teacher!  I did get one birdie..which was nice!!  maybe some painting tomorrow..maybe some yardwork... we'll see what the weather does!

Time has Flown!!! and here is Liesel framed

.. So this was the very first part of a very long project.  I posted just the painting before but here she is framed. My friend Rosemary has been more than patient as I've gone through this last painful six or seven months.  She's been patient and supportive and really caring.  I was determined to finish this project and, in the end, she even asked me to frame them for her.  I packed up all seven framed pieces and she received them..in good shape.. over the weekend.  She's happy!  So I'm happy too!!  I have to leave soon for my second three-month checkup.. bloodwork, scans and I'm staying positive!..            Thanks to all who've supported me along the way!  I couldn't be more grateful!
