Milk SnippetHello!...and can you believe it's the middle of November already? Sheesh. Anyway...thought I would pop in to show you a few photos that some very special people sent to me. Sara Harley, who recently won my Snippet giveaway sent me the Milk Snippet she chose from my Etsy shop. Thanks, Sara...it looks great in your kitchen! Read Sara's blog post about it here.

Oranges on a Blue PlateAs frustrating as painting can sometimes be...having it work in the end IS worth the effort. I just have to step away, breathe, maybe take Maisie for a walk...then get back in the ring again. Some creative juju always helps too!

Your paintings are wonderful, Linda, and they look great in their new homes.
I'm sure your creativity will be back in a jiff!
Hugs to you and Maisie!

Loved seeing your prints in their new homes LInda.
Boy do I know the feeling about a tough painting that just will not come together...I've had so many myself. It seems like some paintings come together so easily from beginning concept to finished piece, while others make us want to pull our hair out. I always feel though, that the best paintings are the ones that are on the edge for me....I'm not sure if they will be finished or make the trip to the trash can instead. If I finish them though, they are usually well worth it and tend to be my favorites.
Good luck with yours Linda, I hope to see it in a future blog post.

I haven't tried the hammer technique.....bit too extreme for me, I think! ;-)
Love to see when art goes to a good home... rather fun ...
I too hear you on doing a painting over and over again ... the frustration of not getting it right... long walks ... a few days away from the painting ... starting on another while letting that one sit... all seems to help... then again a SAW might do the trick too!! hehehe
LOVE AND HUGS FROM ME AND PJ TO YOU AND MAISE
