A friend called today and reminded me that I have not been a very good blogger. He is right. I have been neglected to post anything for quite a while. I have been shifting gears and working on some painted mirrors and finishing a painted antique stand that will be offered for sale in the TFA site “Home Grown in the Gallery”, “Flower Power “on line show. http://www.traditionalfolkart.com/folkartshows/homegrown/.

I have been working on the sideboard, but haven’t made a great deal of progress. This is sometimes how a piece progresses. I actually like to work a while on a piece then take a break and step back to get some prospective on what I have done and where I am going.
I am procrastinating on the back painting area. I am planning on painting sailing ships and a shore line in that area but know that it is going to be a little challenging for me. I am more comfortable with figures, flowers animals, and organic things rather
than structural type of images.

Dan has been busy making mirror frames for us to paint. Working on orders and some work in the yard and house have also been taking up his time.

It has been glorious here weather wise until today. Record breaking temperatures for Northern Indiana has made everything “pop”. Today is gloomy and rainy, but I am sure that the flowers and trees love the rain.
