Pear Painting

"Tropical Pears"
Acrylic and collage on canvas - 8" x 10"

Good Monday morning to everyone...hope you had a nice weekend. This is my latest venture, "Tropical Pears". I've been experimenting with painting on textured papers as my base...and I'm finding that I really enjoy the look. Think I will continue with it and see where it goes...

About the Oscars, all I can say is wow Helen Mirren! At age 62...I think Helen blew away all competition last night with her natural beauty and grace. She looked amazing.

Oscar Diva

In honor of the Oscars tomorrow night (I admit I am an Oscar junkie)...I thought I should post this picture by Photographer John Chapple. Now, I TRIED to get Abby to dress up for you...but she just wouldn't have it. Unusual as she is the diva of all diva's!

Not too excited about the Oscars tomorrow night...of all the movies that are nominated for Best Picture I have only seen "Little Miss Sunshine" (I usually try to see each and every one). I will have to watch anyway though...mostly to see Ellen DeGeneres do her thing as host this year. I just love her. And Cate Blanchett is my favorite actress...but I think Helen Mirren is a shoe-in for "The Queen".

Get some champagne on ice and enjoy the show!
