cj's poppies

36x36 oil on gallery wrap canvas

so this is a project for my friend cj..i'm waiting for approval and then i'll take it ..carefully..up to the lake next week..there is a whole lot of paint on this and it's not going to be dry..so care must be taken!!..love doing these large poppy paintings!.. stopped in at addison bakehouse today and we have a plan for another painting in the main room.. kind of excited..i donated a dog painting to gleaners and i need to get to that next..still golfing, however..the weather is amazing!.. saying big prayers for my friends who still have homes on st. simon's..looks like the storm surge will be a biggie!!

i am so excited!!!!

ok.. so here's what happened today...first of all.. this is one of the paintings ready to go in the summer sale at the white key gallery..it's 40x30 and I absolutely loved painting it!!..today we played valpo CC..and remembered how hard it is to putt here!!.. you NEVER...I mean NEVER want to be above the hole...we felt like we were at augusta national!!...PLUS  my range finder finally bit the dust!.. it has a nine volt battery and one of the terminals came loose.. for the second time...we took it to a jeweler and he managed to fix it.. but it broke again today.. I must be extra clumsy!.. so when we got back to the cottage. I got on the web and contacted the bushnell customer service folks..just to see where to go next.  my new friend, john, was great.. he's going to fix me up!! and I couldn't be happier..there are good folks in the world and every now and then..something happens to reaffirm that fact!!!..

poppy tryptic

so here's a photo of the tryptic I've been working on..each panel is 40x16..this photo is taken in my kitchen so the lighting is not so hot!..thinking I may be done but mulling it for a while..the rain stopped long enough yesterday to go play some golf..very brutal rough and horrid greens..but not too shabby for early days..actually hit some good shots along the way..tomorrow I'm done with tennis for the year..and then it's on to golf golf golf...and maybe some painting thrown in there too!..after I get my flowers planted, of course.....

heading to the White Key Gallery...
