"Four Fifty Nine Time" ---#9

16"x12" oil on canvas 

The time has come to shake up the martini and forget about work. Where's the cigar? I forgot the cigar.
Oh, I forgot the cigar.   : (   Next time, a cigar.

Painting number nine in the 30 paintings in thirty days series. This painting has also been on the easel for a while. Today, I decided it was time to just finish it. I even put some oil pastel on here because the need to draw is strong right now. I tried a little paint knifing, but I need to work on that technique more. I'm sure there is a technique, I just haven't found it yet. Patience, right?

Chat again tomorrow.  Or is it chatter?  : )

"Coffee with My Shadow"

6"x8" Mixed media on paper 

It's alway a good idea to have coffee with someone, even if it is your shadow!

This coffee cup is so talented, it can change the color of it's shadow.
If you ask me, I think this coffee cup has an imaginary friend...

This is cup number 56! Last year this time I had 57 apple paintings finished... all of a sudden I feel like I'm behind again! No fear though, I have a sheet of paper 22" by 30" divided up into 18 sections. Eighteen coffee cups may be suddenly appearing in the next few days!
