Red teapot with spoon 6"x6" oil

I'm a little teapot... or maybe not.    I started this painting on Monday and finished it Tuesday so I am not sure if it is a daily or a two-day painting.   I was able to take my dog to the Dog Park on both days which is most important in the four legged world.

Tea, one sugar 6"x6" oil

The Dali Lama was here in Louisville speaking and teaching for several days.  He is such a delightful and happy man full of insights and common sense.   I was only one in the 14,000 that came to hear him speak.   Louisville has taken on the challenge of "Compassion".    I have been practicing it as I drive.... did I hear some sniggering!   some laughter!   Well, you have to start somewhere and that is where I have the least amount of it, and I tell you it is working... most of the time.   I am a new woman... who has forgotten how to paint!   Here is my struggle for today.

Red tea bag 6"x6" oil

It was unintentional but I see now that the three objects make a triangle.   Speaking of triangles I am going to have a booth at the Cherokee Triangle Art Fair this weekend, Sat & Sun., April 27 & 28, booth #626, come on out and say "hi" if you live in the Louisville KY area.   Looks like the weather might be perfect and there will be lots of great art and food.    The next painting I do will probably be next week.

One for tea 6"x6" oil

Sold

I struggle to keep it from being perfect and nit-picky.  My favorite parts on this set up are the reflected lights in the shadows.   To me the discovery of painting wet into wet and being able to manipulate the paint and edges is what it is about.   At least this is where I am at in my art path.

Red teapot 6"x6" oil

Sold

Over the years people have been giving me paint that they find in a yard sale or paint that someone left behind so I have accumulated quite a bit of paint.   Since I use a limited palette there are quite a number of colors that I might never use.   Today I was thinking about what red I will use so I got out all my paint and American Vermilion.   I wonder why they call it American??

Ready for hot water 6"x6" oil

Sold

As some of you know I listen to audio books while I paint and today I started reading or rather listening to "Seabiscuit" and when I look at the painting it reminds me of the jockeys.

Sold

I just love painting these teapots!   I leave tomorrow for Zhaoming Wu's workshop on painting the draped figure that is being held around Austin TX.  I'm doing some visiting on the way there and back.  If time allows I will try to paint  my daily paintings while I'm gone.  However tomorrow will be one long ten hour day of driving.
