Shades of Green

I've decided to take a break from painting. I have to admit I've seen painting as a job for a while. Rather than being excited about getting into my studio I've been apprehensive, and that's not good. I have a whole list of other things I've been wanting to do, and I've given myself permission to do them until I get bored - until I can't WAIT to paint again. I don't know how long it will take, but I will keep you posted. I have one more painting tucked away to post and then I'm out.

This morning we woke up to a very interesting sight here in Eugene. I posted a photo on our New Beginnings blog in case you'd like to see it.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Lined Up For Slaughter"

Lined Up For Slaughter

I'm alive!! I thought for sure I was going to die the last few days, but as I now remember it turns out when you have the flu you only feel like you're going to die. I woke up in the middle of the night before my last day of class in New Braunfels with an elephant sitting on my head and body. I took massive amounts of pain killer to prop myself up and make it through the day. Then I called my mom and asked if I could visit and have her take care of me until I was better. Finally the elephant moved on ... only to settle on top of my dad. Oh man. So now I'm about ready to head home but I'm leaving pain in my wake. I feel really bad about this!

I hope I didn't also get any of my kids from last week sick! Here are a couple of them from Tuesday, healthy and working intently. You can see they've got the squint thing down ... 

My kids in New Braunfels 

The space we were in was very nice, though relatively small. Mary McIntosh's still life collection puts mine to shame. You can only see a little of it on the shelves in these photos, but we had access to lots of great stuff, which came in really handy.    

My kids in New Braunfels

I'll have to post the group photo a little later. I was so out of it the last day - we did take one but not me and I'm having it emailed. I hope all my kids are happy and healthy and painting away!!

Starseeds

Have you ever sliced an apple in half from the side? The seeds make this very cool star pattern.

Tomorrow I am off to Texas for a workshop in New Braunfels. My flight is early and then because of the time zones and daylight savings I'll be off by three hours. You can bet I'll be asleep early tomorrow night!

Eggless

I LOVE painting eggshells. I could do it all day. I saved these from my breakfast. My husband said, "It's kind of weird that you have eggshells on a plate. And sugar?" But they go together so well, don't they? "Yes, they do. And I guess that's all that matters." Good husband.

You know how when you have a really great breakfast, and you eat it all, and then you're sitting there looking at your plate, wishing you could eat it all over again because it was so good?!

Perfect Pastry

I found this giant, utterly perfect croissant at our local market. It was just sitting there BEGGING to be painted. And eaten of course. Too bad it wasn't by me. Wheat does horrible things to me. But my son (oh so gleefully) obliged.
