Merlot, Please

Merlot, Please
Oil on canvas panel, 7x5
purchase here

There are simply not enough hours in the day.  Try as I may, I never seem to find enough time for everything I want to accomplish in each day!  Today’s agenda is almost unending, but perhaps my best find was Dave at Lowe’s - who expertly cut two sheets (8’ x 4’) of masonite into 8x10’s, 9x12’s and 11x14’s.  As a daily painter - I am in constant need of panels.  I stop in (whenever my schedule allows) to my local hardware store, and just recently Lowe’s.  Twice now, my panels have been expertly cut at Lowe’s - after many, many times of haphazard cutting “elsewhere”.  In fact, the last time I went “elsewhere”, nearly every panel was wrong, and I had to recut them myself, often going to a smaller size because of the short cuts.  How pleasant it is to have perfect panels to start priming tomorrow.  You know, it is the little things that make life so sweet.  Cheers!  This is painting number 968 in 968 days :)

Red Wine and Glass

Red Wine and Glass
Oil on canvas panel, 5x7
sold
Today started with Zumba, watching the grandsons, and preparing for the “family send off” for Michaela’s first year of college.  After most of the company has left, and the kitchen is finally clean, I come to my easel late.  What do I paint when I am too tired to think?  Wine and a glass - for the second day in a row!  I may have a theme started here........who knows what I’ll have time for tomorrow.  I like to be a painting or two ahead - but I am not, which leaves me in a pinch tomorrow.  Oh well, I’ll think about that tomorrow.  Painting number 956 in 956 days.
