Today is a relax day for me. I have been purging my home and have so many things in my basement cleaned out. it is amazing how many things we collect over the years. I am in the midst of boxes and wood and paints and canvas. Well you name it I am in the middle of it.
I am trying to get things ready so that I can have my gallery opening soon. I have been doing some new paintings and am sure they will sell. I am having so much fun doing what I love. I can't wait to have things set up for my showing. Life is good.

So today I went out for the morning and had a great visit with a very special lady. I had a great time and when it was time to go, the New York fries came up and said " eat me!" So I succumed to my urge. They were very good as they were nice and fresh. I will now have to be very good for supper because I am trying,trying to lose weight. It will be a very slow process If I keep doing this.
I am so anxious to start some new paintings with a new product I have not tried before. I can get it at the hardware store but will have to do it outside as it has a bit of an odor and I will be wearing a mask.  When they are done of course I will have them on my website.  I have started adding the measurements of my canvases so you all have an idea of what size to put on your walls.

I am very excited for Saturday to come. I am going on a " Gallery Hop" With my instructor Sam and my best friend Mary. I am looking forward to being inspired by some new ideas and also to see what else is out there. My horizon's are wide open and so is my mind.
I have been busy painting some new pictures, " Shades of Dark" It has been a blast and I am very happy with the results so far. I have been getting some very good reviews on my facebook page. I just love having the time to go and spend in my studio and not feel so tired I could drop. Retirement is a good thing.

It is now into my third week of retirement from my job at Sobeys as a cake decorator. I have been so incredibly busy that I have only got one picture painted! I have started a series called Shades of Dark. It is quite an interesting challenge for me, to create a series, using the same ideas but at the same time using different colors,textures, and mediums. 
    I have three more to do and that will make 5 for the whole series. I am excited to get the last three done so I can show them off on my web site. Speaking of which, is still a work in progress, I am not a computor savy kind of gal and so therefore I find myself being challenged every step of the way. I must thank my two Sons and husband for contributing to help at least get me started. Everyday I learn something new. So please bear with me as this web site may change on a regular basis until I am totally happy with it.
