My Resolution

My resolution for 2010 is to paint more!

This past year I only did 2 paintings!..I can't even believe it.
I did a few other projects in which I painted but still, 2?...no good. lol
We had to move twice this year so my painting just  kinda took a back seat.

The 2 paintings I did do in 2009 though are my favorites so far.

This one I did back in February:


It's very large!
(30" x 50")
 The largest I have ever done, and I really love it.
Sher still needs to frame it up for me, but it will take a lot of wood
so we just haven't got around to it yet.
I know once it's  framed it will make such a difference and
look so lovely  :0) -I can't wait.

This is my latest painting:
(20" x 40" without the frame)


I didn't even plan on painting the day I made this!
...but, voila! -it was born.
I reallly like it. We have a thing for trees, so it fits right in!
I saw a painting like it and it inspired me to try painting one similar
because it reminded me so much of our trip to Muir woods last year.
It now lives above our mantel in the living room,
and the first painting lives in our master bedroom.

I hope everyone has a really blessed 2010, that all your dreams come true,
and that many blessings come your way!

Chair Face Lift

We originally had 4 of these little chairs but over the years 2 fell apart!
They have served us well..as a place to sit and eat our meals, as stepping stools, etc.

They have however acquired too many scars, lol...
Such as: different color paint splatters, joint compound splatters, scratches...on and on..
So I decided to give the last two left a little face lift! I sanded them down a bit and painted them with some leftover paint I had that was used in my art/craft room.

Ta Da!
Here are the freshly painted chairs:

This color just makes me happy.
I WAS going to give them a little sanding around their edges to warm them up a bit, but something tells me that will happen naturally...
I bet by December they will look nice and broken in! haha

One small project I get to mark off of the long list!
Woo Hoo!
