Do you remember apple bobbing at Halloween parties? I never wanted to get my face wet but some kids would put their whole head in the water just to win. I guess I wasn't very competitive. My best Halloween was when I won a prize for best costume. I had a red clown's nose that was connected to a current so it lit up when I pressed a switch held in my palm. Dressed in a man's suit with hat. My prize was a Hershey's candy bar! Oh, for the simple days!

Happy Halloween!!!!

Another challenge from Different Strokes for Different Folks, the blog by Karin Jurick. www.differentstrokesfromdifferentfolks.blogspot.com It is so interesting to see how many different and similiar paintings can come from one photo. I decided to do an abstract. Looking at it now I think I need to go back in and change some of the shapes. There's not enough overlapping in some areas. I like the soft quality though.

Isn't this the cutest dog? Well, her parents think so and love her so much they had to have a portrait of their darling. I'm glad they did. She was alot of fun to paint.

It's been awhile since I posted. I've been taking a color theory class. Relearning and enforcing a few things. I found it's always helpful to me to revisit what you think you know because you can always pick up something new.
