Thanks for reading. Still KERCHOOOOOimg
Cold is messing my life up. So far missed painting, life modeling and the show opening if I don’t feel super shortly. It’s a 200 mile round trip to the show. Right now NOT happening.

In between sneezes its evident I would rather draw my dog than my cup collection.

Sooner or later I might paint them especially this one. My red headed dog looks better with a little color on her sweet head.

Just wanted to share with you my dear waders that both my painting were juried into a large art show atAnderson SC art center. Evidently this is a big deal. Lots of prize money and buyers. Woohoo.
The Major was juried into the big show at the art center.
Waiting at the Waffle House was juried into the Art Around Town Show. Here’s hoping they both sell and add to my Je Reviens à Paris fund.
And my Je t’aime Paris cup that I bought at Anteopology in Ponce City Market.
Quin gold cobalt pyrrole red or Quin red burnt umber

Hopefully this one posts attempt number two!! 
I have a large Collection of cups. Been trying to draw them daily and add an art quite. Seems to be every other day thing.
This cup was made by my friend Peggy’s husband Jerry. You can buy them downtown at Art on Broad.

Is where I have been for the last four days. Home now.
I don’t know which I like better – being in the beautiful Western North Carolina mountains OR Home!!
These are all done with acrylics used like watercolor on a base of crumpled white tissue paper glued down with polymer gel.
A lot of fun to play with. Let me know if one of them needs to come live at your house.

A fun double page spread. I drew the figures almost under the table cloth at our meeting. I was just in a mood to draw.
Our President Susan Salisbury
Then I decided to add my nonwinning raffle tickets which I painted blue. Their original white color would have been boring. And I added a napkin with some washi tape. I do love washi tape. I only buy it when I get it on sale.
A sketch of our auctioneer Ken Elliot and his two helpers. I guess you can tell it was St Patricks Day. Should have posted this a while ago.
Augusta Area Newcomers Club is a great club for people who have just retired or are new to the area. Lots of group activities from Wine Night, Bunco, Bridge, Movie Club, Out to Lunch and a lot more. Something for everyone. Once a year we have a big silent auction at the Country Club that raises thousands of dollars for a charity.
Check it out!

Ranunculus 16×20 Acrylic FOR SALE Also finished Tuesday.
Recently bought some gorgeous white ranunculus at Costco and had to hurry up and paint them before they died. They started dropping and dripping petals the morning after I finished them.
Colors used artist grade Golden and Liquitex Cerulean,Titanium white, Dioxzine Purple, Cobalt, Cad Yellow light, alizarin.
TIP : Artist grade paints are important. Been reading a book about acrylic paints. Student grade can have styrene and other plastics than the polymer that is used in artist grade. What does that mean. The plastic can shatter!! 👀 Like an old plastic toy left in the yard it will shatter.
Artist grade paint does not.
Some interesting ranunculus trivia from Wikipedia. They are all toxic including the common buttercup. “When Ranunculus plants are handled, naturally occurring ranunculin is broken down to form protoanemonin, which is known to cause contact dermatitis in humans and care should therefore be exercised in extensive handling of the plants.[6] The toxins are degraded by drying, so hay containing dried buttercups is safe.”

Rhineharts 10×15″ Watercolor on Crescent watercolor board
Done and ready for delivery. I think I gave a sigh of relief Repainting this successfully. You just never know with watercolor if you will mess it up or not. Thank goodness I didn’t.
I had to do it over because the original was in my sketchbook and it was drawn across two pages. Would I have cut that one out and sell it to Rhineharts?! Sure would but hard to frame it when it’s in two pieces.
So a redo was in order.
Here’s the ink sketch. I actually used pencil first and let it dry a while before I erased it. No ink smears on this one.
The Rhineharts Masters Week tshirt. A bit darker than the original!
While it dried I did some last minute shopping before Masters Madness descends full blown on this town.
I got home about five and it was painted in time to sit down and enjoy Grantchester on Masterpiece Mystery. Really enjoy that show.
The shirt on display at the restaurant
Back to the painting – it’s painted on crescent watercolor board. Heavy stuff.
Colors used – Sky cerulean, building Winsor yellow with grey made from cerulean and burnt sienna or yellow ochre. Roof has the same colors with Inathrodone for darks. Trim is marine blue with viridian. Blacks are Inathrodone and burnt sienna or burnt umber.
Trees are burnt umber and Inathrodone for trunks. Inathrodone, viridian, yellow ochre and green apatite. White gouache for lights.
Thanks for reading. Get your shirt at Rhineharts.

One of the things we love about Costco is the snacks. Of course we all know there are NO calories in the snacks if you eat them there. Lol. So after a walk thru of Costco with heavy snacks I decided to draw all the ones I ate.
This is what I had when I left. I sat at the snack bar tables and sketched it before I forgot some of this deliciousness.
Drawn on Strathmore 500 Mixed Media with Carbon Black ink. Noodler Konrad pen.
