Let me introduce you to Eve

I got to meet one of my email/blogger friends on Monday.  Eve is a delightful and hard working artist who I met via email during my first Hospice show about a year and a half ago.  She works in oil and acrylics.  You can visit her blog here - http://artbyeve.blogspot.com/.  I really enjoyed getting to talk with her in person and she is very generous with all sorts of helpful information.  We had lunch and then I had the honor of visiting her home and studio.  A wonderful studio it is with plenty of light and room to work.  I also met Rambo and he welcomed me with a kiss. It was a very enjoyable day.  I have included some pictures of Eve, Rambo and myself.

"Beauty and the Beast" - SOLD

This painting, Beauty and the Beast, was hanging at Haven Hospice in Gainesville, FL and it sold. While I am very pleased to have sold a painting I will miss this one.
I will be celebrating our 26th Wedding Anniversary and my birthday this weekend and I hope all of you have a great weekend too.

Bleeding Heart Vine in Colored Pencil

Here is a little colored pencil sketch that was inspired from Leslie's Drawing A Day Blog.

You will have to scroll down to the end of September or first part of October to see the neat little recessed borders that she does.  Anyway I wanted to give one a try and this one is done on taupe mat board that is 5x7 total (including border). It was really fun to do and I would not mind doing a few more. Thanks Leslie for the inspiration!

***************************************

The watercolor to the right is the painting that I sent to Jane in Pennsylvania for my SWAP group. This is "Sunny" my betta fish that keeps me company in the studio as I paint.   Each quarter we paint a 5x7 or 7x9 watercolor and Rhonda   http://rhcarpenter.blogspot.com/ draws names and we send them off while we wait for our suprise to arrive in the mail.  Thanks Rhonda for all of your hard work.

October Giveaway Painting!

My apologizes for not posting the giveaway painting yesterday.  Work and chores were quite demanding and I did not even think about it until last night after my computer was shut down and I had called it a day.   So here it is........  Remember, to enter the drawing just send me an email to vgreene@windstream.net with "October Giveaway" in the subject line.  Best of luck to each of you.
