Yellow Pepper 6x6 oil painting
Day 3 in the 30 in 30 Challenge. I'm doing simpler paintings for the next few days--fewer details, less stress. ;) And palette knife instead of brushes. Yellow pepper today, and red, green and orange to follow. (The background is actually lavender, not blue.)

A Bee in the Lavender 6x6 oil painting
Day 2 in the 30 in 30 Challenge.
I used to grow a lot of lavender, and dried it to fill vases, make potpourri, and lavender wands. I don't have any now--it's hard to keep the plants looking nice, they grow so scraggly, and I seemed to somehow miss the season before it was over to make the lavender wands. But I love the scent and found a lotion that is authentic--so many of them don't smell even remotely like real lavender.
This painting has SOLD!

Marietta/Cobb Museum of Art Plein Air Paint Out March 2014
Marietta/Cobb Museum of Art Plein Air Paint Out March 2014
The Root House Museum Pastel 8x10 The weather was horrible for the Paint Out--raining, windy and cold. I found a place to paint from inside my car, in the First United Methodist Church parking lot, across the street from The Root House. Then I turned around and painted the replica log cabin church next to the parking lot. I hurried too much on the log cabin--was ready to quit! Should have spent more time on it. But the Artists' Reception was a lot of fun, meeting the other artists and seeing the artwork. The weather was just as bad last year--I just watched--and unfortunately, this is the only weekend that the museum has open for the Paint Out. Hoping for better weather next year.
