Rtt - Paintings and such

Keely and friends play this little game called Random Tuesday Thoughts. It's all about taking bits and pieces of posts that just don't warrant a whole post by themselves put them all together and pretend they are a whole post. Want to play? Go here to link up.

Here are a few paintings I've been working on.

First my Tuscan House.
Yeah, the perspective is off but I've decided that this is folk art.
Folk art doesn't have to be right on.
The perspective can be off a bit.
Trees that don't look quite right.
You know, sort of native and simple.
That brings us to.......

Here's my poppy field.
JR likes this one.
I think it will look better framed.
I didn't get this in the photo but the sky turned out really well.

These two I like a lot.
JR likes the daisy one and I like the tulips.
Aren't they arrow straight?
I like that about them.
I'll probably fix that but for now I'm enjoying the dichotomy of the crazy background and the soldier straight tulips.
Isn't that awesome?

I've also got a sailboat painting started but I'm waiting for the base to dry a bit before I paint the sailboats.

My friend Candy suggested this t-shirt for me. It has two of my favorite things, wine and books. There are others here.


Our peach tree has a dozen little peaches on it. They are fuzzy and sweet looking. The lime tree is just setting fruit. Our herb garden is going crazy. I'm going to start thinking about drying some of it. I think little bags of dried herbs would make great Christmas gifts. What do you think?

Go visit all the players in this crazy game.

Love,

PS: I'm feeling pretty insecure these days so if you wouldn't mind clicking the little stumble upon button below maybe my stats will go up and I can stop obsessively checking them. Because I do. All the damn time. What is it with me that I've got this crazy competition going with which days of the week get more hits and which type of post gets more hits over another type of post? I'll spend all day today thinking is Tuesday random post going to kick Meatless Monday's butt? Don't even get me started with wordless Wednesday.
