Wrapped and Ready to Load

HI, Well Rudy thinks it's her table now.(Not what I want.) OH my, she's 17 and has arthritis and cries when she jumps up on something. I painted with her there today, just a tiny acorn painting. I'm better but am still going to rest after this. Tomorrow's show is at 10am-5pm. Here's the acorn painting at the top. No more painting until after the show...I've got supper on the stove. I heard from the lady with the pregnant lab.. she's thickening up and she 's pretty sure the dog is pregnant. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  Here are some of my smaller fall paintings ready to go. Everything is wrapped and ready to load. OH MY. :)  Will let you know how it goes..have a great weekend, love to you,Diana

Aftermath

Hi! Well this was what was on my art table when I got up this morning. Rudy, I ate breakfast sitting in the chair and talking to her. I'm worn out. You name it and it hurts. Everywhere. My back,sciatica, ... it all hurts. Yesterdays show was nice, lots of people,so many friends but all the lifting and setting up by myself and breaking down by myself is truthfully too much for me. I sold a little, but am hoping some people will decide on a painting as a Christmas gift. Food was good , Donna Drew of Copper Creations, Mary(Mama Girl)--folk art and I walked around and gathered our lunch, crab cakes,fried flounder,corn on the cob,clam chowder,fried shrimp,and sweet potato pie. Remember it was an all you can eat event! I didn't go back for more food .. that was enough--it was delicious. I've got another show on Saturday. The Birding Festival in Cape Charles, I must rest up before that. J. will help me set up and break down. I'm so thankful,what would I do without him. talk to you soon, thank you all for your lovely wishes!! Rudy and I may lay down :),Diana

Owls and Lady in Blue

HI, Well it's been an eventful week. Harvest Festival, Wednesday, was nice, lots of friends, food and a few sales for everyone. Thursday, yesterday was the birding festival and that was nice, not so many people but good friends and a wonderful bird show, I've posted a couple of the photos of the great horned owl and the barred owl.

Here is my new watercolor"Lady in Blue". I took this photo a few years ago of this lady who works at Maplewood Gardens near Nassawadox,Va., here on the Eastern Shore. The Eastern Shore Art League was having a paintout there. Barbara Custis was kind to have us there swimming in her pool, painting and everyone brought a dish to share. A lovely day.Wet paint at the bottom of her feet.. I finished it Tuesday. No I didn't paint anything today.. I'm too wiped out!

I will not be at Harborton Town Festival this year.( Go anyway if you can to support them) I hope you understand, my back is not good and I have done way too much this week.. I really need to rest up.. my next show will be next weekend at Art Affair in Richmond, Saturday Oct.16 from 10am-5pm and Sunday Oct 17 from 11am-4pm. This is a juried show with about 130 artists. Hope to see you then. Talk soon. Diana
