AND THEN CAME THREE
24 x 36 inches
A Painting a Day
You have absolutely no idea what time it is as I sit bleary eyed at this computer. I know cousin Lucy is up in Germany....she and Robert are well into their morning. It is four thirty a.m. here and we are up and going. GOOD MORNING!
Yesterday I finished up these wolves and finished one window of drapes in our bedroom. The other set of drapes is almost finished. I ran out of bobin and decided to stop at eight thirty last night. Will finish those shortly. Think I will paint for a few hours this morning.
The wolves are HEAVY layered paint...I am thinking a good solid three layers. Chose some different underlays on the woods this time with some forest greens, deep blues, burnt umbers and my favorite Marigold. In contrast the foreground is white snow and the wolves are the grey wolf variety. I named all my wolves in the last painting because they were hanging next to my computer in the studio where I talked with them frequently. This group is next to my easel...we won't converse until I begin to paint today!
I am excited, we are going to my daughter's for an early dinner today. She is attempting fried chicken. You must understand the history behind this. She attempted to fry chicken as a Senior in high school and served up bloody bird. IT was not a pretty site. This is 12 years later and she is attempting it again. She informed me we would pick up a thermometer for checking grease temperature today before the cooking begins. I laughed and told her that you check the grease by flicking bits of water to the surface with your fingers and seeing how they react to the heated grease. (I learned the old fashion way from one of the best cooks....JC Adams during college in Nacogdoches.) It will be an experience at least. Her Hubby Larry is a darn good cook and I think he is making Mac and Cheese homemade. YUMMMMM. We will also see our grandson Grant...he is contemplating an up coming birthday and will be eleven. ( I hope I got that right...geez it is tough getting old.)
Grace to all...and have a safe weekend.
