A Painting a Day... day 18 and 19

Ok, day 18, a man in a kipa playing a clarinet,

and day 19 woman playing maracas with flowers in her hair!

I can't believe there are only 11 more to do, of course the middle of next week... I might be feeling like it will never end! This has been a pleasure so far, I hope it continues!

That's all for today! Tj.

A Painting a day... wait what??

Ok, I did not paint yesterday. I failed! Oh well... I'll catch up tonight. Last night we went to vist some very dear friends of ours. Jamie and James Ellis are moving to Texas and last night was our last visit, until we are able to go to Texas and visit them! I have known Jamie her whole life, you see her mother is a high school friend of mine! Patti and her hubby and other daughter live in Texas now, and Jamie and James are moving closer to her! I am sure Patti will be so happy to have her 2 adoreable grand kids close to her! I know I would!!! We will miss you guys, but we'll come and visit... and I know you will be back in Sac too! So, we didn't get home until around 9, and well... I didn't paint! I'll catch up tonight and post Day 18 and 19!



For now I thought I'd share this painting I did in 2007. It is one of my favorites, very alice in wonderlandy... Hey it's Friday!!!!!!! Tj.

A Painting a Day... day 12 and more

Well I am posting this a day late, but it was done I swear! Day 12 piano man. I didn't post it last night, I went out with my honey. He was playing in Placerville CA at a place called the Cozmic Cafe http://www.thecozmiccafe.com/ with blues ledgend Sonny Rhodes. http://www.myspace.com/sonnystorch What a great venue, old stone and brick building, it even has a gold mine that goes out the back of it right into the ground. Sonny Rhodes puts on a great show, he has such heart and it shows through in his music. He is one of the most acclaimed Texas bluesmen and has legendary status for his proficiency on lap steel guitar. It was a great night, here are just a few photos...

A Painting a Day... day 10 and 11

OK, so yesterday I didn't finish my day 10. I went out to dinner with some work friends, we have a monthly dinner and I haven't been able to go in a couple of months, so I went last night. Didn't get home until 7:30ish... so I didn't finish. But tonight I finished him and today's! So, here you have day 10, an old washboard player and day 11, singing drummer man. This is an interesting process, some of them I really like and some well, I'm not sure yet. But what is interesting is my family's response. One I don't like as much my daughter really likes... just goes to show beautiful art is truly in the eyes of the beholder! Be well... Tj.
