more sunflowers!

I'm going to go carpe diem and paint the sunflowers again - they are so beautiful.  Here is our border collie, Spark on a recent visit.

Sunflowers to paint!

Sat with friends Mary, Marion and Ruth to paint the sunflowers on the Tecumseh Land Trust/Whitehall Farm property - directly across from Peifers Orchard on Rt 68 - What Fun!!!  It feel like we are Renoir or Monet, painting the lovely fields of France - right here in Ohio.  I'll be there again - plein aire - on friday morning with a Springfield group to paint.  My daughter Melanie complains that I only go when she's in school so you may find me there again this w.e.   All the local galleries will be filled with sunflowers!

Playing on the computer with Photoshop

Saw my sis this morning at one of favorite spots on the earth - the Emporium Coffee/Underdog Cafe.  She asked about how to convert a photo into a drawing.  First I thought, well, give me a pencil - I draw, you know....
  On the computer though - it is fun to play with photoshop.  Here's a photo I did a 'stamp' effect with - I particularly like it! It is my hubby and me - of course...

Time to get to work again...

OK OK - lots of travel and fun this summer along with tending my paintings at the Winds.  The show was a success - well worth the effort. On to more endeavors - got to start working toward the Glen Show.

We travelled to U.P., MI and saw the lovely Pictured Rock park.  We so enjoyed being on Lake Michigan during this extreme summer.

Buy a Painting at the Winds and support YSKP

Tucson Artist - Libby Rudolf

'Watercolors at the Winds' exhibit is up through July 25.  In order to support the efforts of Yellow Springs Kids Theater, I will donate 50% of the proceeds for the next painting sold!  The current show, Conference of the Birds is truly lovely, marvelous music, vibrant costumes and set and youth giving it their all.  Each actor or actress shines at one time or another and I love the harmonizing, the dancing, the puppets.  Shows thursday through sunday, July 15-18 at 7:30 at Antioch Ampitheater here in good ol' Y.S., OH.
