Sunset at Vatican City 14" x 18" oil on wood panel

As sun was setting on our first day in Rome and we were returning to our hotel, we decided to climb more stairs to see the magnificent view of the Vatican City.   We were not disappointed.   The city seemed to glow in the warm light.  A good memory to cherish.   In contrast, I have been listening to "In the Kingdom of Ice" by Hampton Sides (2014), the true account of the grand and terrible polar voyage of the USS Jeannette which took place in the late nineteenth century to venture deep into unchartered water north of the Bering Straight.

Three primary suspects 6" x 6" oil

You look Marbleous! 6" x 6" oil

It has been 3 or 4 years since I have done marbles and I have been wanting to paint them again using looser brush strokes.   While at an antique show a couple of weeks ago I found some large shooter marbles that would work. Loose brush strokes on a hard object... hmmm.

The slumber party 6" x 6" oil

These little peppers were having such a good time dancing the Cha Cha when all of a sudden they all felt exhausted and dropped in their tracks and fell asleep.   The Club owner found them the next morning all sprawled out on the dance floor perfectly content.

The Witness 6" x 6" oil

Is the red pepper the witness?   Or is the apple in hiding the witness?  I guess it depends on what they were a witness to!   You know, I have been listening to some murder mysteries and I think it is seeping into my work!    It's shocking!

In the dog house again! 6" x 6" oil

For the last 20 years I have been listening to audio books while painting.    I must have listened to hundreds and the very first one I listened to was "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand and I listened to it twice.    I just finished one that I liked called "The Lost Prince" by Selden Edwards.   Before that I listened to The Cuckoo's Calling" and "The Silkworm" by Robert Galbraith which is really JK Rowling.   I am dyslexic and have a hard time speaking while painting which makes teaching a challenge but for some reason I can paint and listen at the same time which I am so grateful.   Listening to these audio books keeps me painting and keeps me looking forward to painting every day.
