Eagle in Blue Skies

I was pleasantly surprised when I woke this morning to messages that two of my paintings had sold. 

1. Party Girl. This was a brand new painting. See the image here.
2. Enchanted Evening. I had almost given up on this one selling. The buyer got a real good price since it was on the "Make an Offer" eBay list. View image here.

I have learned that there is no rhyme nor reason to how and when the right person finds the right painting. Some paintings sell before the paint is dry. Others take several years to find their rightful owner.

The expressionist painting below is from my memory of an eagle I saw flying in the blue skies overhead when I was driving through New Mexico. Painted with a palette knife, this painting features thick, textured oil paint.

Down-Stay, Thor Boxer Dog Sketch

Thor the Boxer-boy makes a good sketchbook model. He doesn't stay still for very long, so I must work quickly. I am always amazed at how the addition of color brings a sketch to life.

The Angel Wing Begonia was my grandmother's favorite and has become one of my favorites also.  My two plants made it through the winter on my kitchen window sill. When I put them outside they bloomed profusely, but with all the stormy springtime weather this year, they dropped the blooms.

Get Your Ducks in a Row

Life.

nodp. Ducks must be in my stars. As I walked down the sidewalk last week on my way to an appointment, I admired the newly planted begonias and the carved duck nesting in the plants. 

Oops! The duck moved, turned her head and looked straight at me with no fear, just curiosity.  From a distance she was difficult to see.

 I stopped to take a few photos. She did not budge. I think she must have been sitting on eggs in the flower bed.

How cool is it to notice one's surroundings! We never know what we might stumble upon. I wonder if this is a message from the stars for me to get my ducks in a row.
