Seaworthy

I think all of my water/boat paintings are my way of telling myself that I need to go to the ocean immediately. ASAP. Stat. NOW.

I just know that I will suddenly be bombarded with offers from all of my friends & family to take care of my kids while I am gone. Hello? Anyone? Anyone at all......don't be afraid to speak up. Why do I hear crickets?

"Seaworthy" is 36 x 48, and available at Gregg Irby Fine Art.

This put some wind in my sails.......

Cool Sailings, pictured here, sold this week, thanks to the gang at Gregg Irby Fine Art.

Makes a girl want to shop. After all, as the quote goes from Steel Magnolias, "The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize". I may have paraphrased that a bit. So many cute fall outfits in the stores, so many shoes....so many. Alas, all of my money goes to the fine state of Alabama to support our student there. I am sure he uses it for study materials and healthy food. It helps to live in my imaginary world. Anyone is welcome.

Row vs. Wade

This has been one of those weeks....kids home from school....art shows looming...no sleep due to mentioned children.......house a disaster. Thankfully I have many wonderful friends who have all simultaneously offered to bring over margaritas. This worries me...am I known as the needy margarita girl? As one friend put it so well, they are much more fun and effective than chicken soup. You may not feel any better about life when you sober up, but at least for the duration of the tequila you just don't care. Alas, I have refrained from the fun and just relied on triple lattes, and not enough of them. I was able to finish this painting, 40 x 40, titled Row vs. Wade and now available at Gregg Irby Fine Art.

Morsels of information.....

We just got back from a gorgeous weekend in Santa Fe filled with delicious art, wonderful food and of course, a little too much tequila. When you keep the kind of company that I do you can expect that sort of thing. I did learn some new things for my dinner crowd-paella, seafood pasta and halibut cheeks. I am looking forward to really impressing the group behind the fish counter at Whole Foods.

Now it is back to reality and working to find ways to promote my art. We had a great show with the fine ladies at Restart and now I have several paintings hanging at the Irwin Street market. What
a fun place! I didn't get to sample the french toast yet but word is that it is the best ev-er. It looked like it should be on a magazine cover. I can vouch for the coffee though. Perfect! Thanks to Matthew for his kind invitation.

This painting is 36 x 24, oil on linen, titled "Fisherman Home" and is currently listed on Etsy.
