Painting the dunes.

 I have 5 finished paintings so far.

I haven"t painted for over a year.

A little rusty.

 The water scenes are fine but

 the crane pic is not so fine.

 Water is like snow in painting.

You can make it look good easily.

But when it comes to trees I do not have the patience.

Two more to finish and than next week I will make

labels for the show and make sure everything

has a means of hanging.

Chesterton Art Comp 2012

 I entered a art quilt in a traditional art show.

I got accepted.

I would have gotten a prize if I had left out the deer.

Too cute I guess.

I was glad to break the ice and get into the show.

 The full view.

I made this for my daughter.

I spent a month making it last September.

I also treated myself and bought June's painting

of the dunes.

June is in the upper 80's.

My mother would have appreciated this.

Today I WILL go to the studio and see if

I can still make something for the Quilt National.

If not there is always another time.

My time was better spent with my mother this last month.
