Tuesday

Busy day today, teaching watercolor class at ACC in Burlington. Painted still life of assorted wine bottles. Attended demo by Greensboro artist Denise Landi at our Alamance County Arts Council.
Home again to join Facebook and post on this blog. Hope I will be better at keeping it up.
I plan to finish up my painting of a view from Pin de Gale, which I visited this past September. It was such a beautiful place on the french riviera.

September Days

September has always been my favorite time of the year. I was married and honeymooned on beautiful Nantucket island in September, " many moons ago".

I will be teaching my watercolors class again for the Alamance Community College, begining the second week in September. Although there are always new students to watercolors, in each class, I believe the returning students value my critique more than anything.
Tomorrow my students and I will have a display of our paintings at the Maple Avenue campus of the Community College. They will be there for the months of September and October.

This September, I have my paintings in two new locations in Mebane NC. One is "The Sweet Shop Bakery" and a coffee shop called "heavenly Roast".

I am currently working on a painting of a home that was destroyed by Katrina in Mississippi. I am painting it on a canvas especially prepared for watercolors.
I am also getting paintings together for calendar designs for Cafepress. I hope to add a British calendar to those of Italy, Sicily, and North Carolina.

"Deruta Clock" 16 x20 inches matted $130

Today I painted a still life of sunflowers, alongside a Deruta Italian clock. I guess I was trying to hold on to some summertime. In the afternoon it was matting and framing for the upcoming art shows and attended a fun birthday party in Hillsborough this evening. ... Auguri, auguri.

Tuesday

Hope every one had a Happy Halloween . Forgot to bake my annual pumpkin pie.

The leaves in the piedmont of North Carolina have yet to be in full fall color.
Getting ready for the "Big Pumpkin". Our family always celebrates Halloween with birthday parties, as well as Halloween parties. Lots of costumes and cakes over the years.

Happy Halloween to you all.
