TEN OLIVES

I love olives...any kind of olives..... BUT, my favorvite olive is the good old green olive. I guess I like them the best because that was the only one my mom bought when I was young and living at home.
We always have olives on the table for our family dinners...but I can't put them on the table too soon because my daughters will eat them all up before we would sit down and eat dinner.
This petite watercolour is 5x7 matted to fit your 8x10 frame.

LAST OUT DOOR SHOW FOR 2007

Yesterday was my last outdoor show for the 2007 season (I hope!).
It was the Annual Fall Festival sponsored by the Sayville Chamber of Commerce, Sayville, LI, NY. It was a beautiful autumn day with hundreds of people with their families, of which none were interested in buying art.
All the artist were disappointed. At one point of the day I was thinking of purchasing an "Apple Puff" truck and sell apple puff's and fried oreo's they had lines of people waiting to purchase their puffs all day.
Putting all kidding and complaining aside I did sell five small pieces toward the end of the day. For which I am very thankful for.
I now can settle down and start working on my daily paintings again. I miss doing them.
New post will be up either tomorrow or Tuesday.

I have a lot of framing and matting that needs to be done, also, of course, I still have to go to work everyday (work just gets in the way, doesn't it?)

THE TASTING ROOM

On the east end of Long Island we have 36 vineyards. You can ride in your car for hours and see the grape vines along the side of the road. Sometime acres of grapes.
The smaller vineyards sometimes do not have their own tasting room and retail shop. They are just there to produce the wine.
In Peconic, LI, NY they have a "Tasting Room" where you can taste the wines from these smaller vineyards and also you can purchase their wine from the "The Tasting Room."
It is an old store front by the railroad tracks. If you are ever on Long Island you need to take a ride to the east end and visit a vineyard or two. You will not be sorry.
This is another exercise of a pen and ink with a watercolour wash.
Please email me if you have a question.

THE PERFECT MARTINI

The original Martini recipe called for one-half dry gin and one-half dry vermouth. This proportion began to change in the early 40's to two or three parts dry gin to one part dry vermonth. Today, popular proportions for an Extra Dry Martini range from 5-to-1 to an 8-to-1 ratio. The greater the proportion of gin to vermouth, the "drier" the Martini.

BAILEY'S GARAGE

My daughter and her husband bought my mother-in-laws home a few years ago. They have done a great deal of work on the home as well as a lot of landscape work.
The garage was to have been torn down this year. Instead they rebuilt their wrap around porch, so, the garage is still standing for one more year.
On the peak of the garage is an arrow made out of wood that my husband built when he was a young boy.
Its always sad to see something old be torn down and something new put in its place. However, sometimes it has to happen, which in this case is the situation.

WELCOME TO STUDIO 33

In my profile I wrote, "I do not have a fancy studio" and as you can see I don't!!!!
Welcome to my living room.
Christmas time the tree goes up in the front window and we sit in the living room a few hours a night from December 23 to January 1. The tree comes down and we don't sit in the room until we have a party or the next holiday that we having at our home.
The only one that has taken advantage of this sunny, bright room is Bonnie , our Scotty. She has two wing- back chairs that she sits in and looks out of the front window, watching and protecting her love ones.
I have plans to keep my studio in this room because of the wonderful light we have in it most of the day and I can also see what's going on in my hood durning the day.
I could be in here for days and no one in the family would know I'm here because they never come in here.
How great is that?????
Stay tuned , improvements are in the planning stage.

ROOT VEGGIES

I love my veggies!!!!!! If I didn't love a nice juicy steak more I could be a vegetarian.
This painting is done in watercolour and pen and ink on watercolour paper. It measures 9x12 and is being sold with a glass frame with clips. This would look good in any kitchen.
