These two eggs came from Bess and Dolley. Tomorrow I'll put up another small one, very similar, of Eleanor's and Abigail's eggs.

This is a smaller size than I usually do--only 5 x 7--but it means that everything is exactly life-sized, which makes sense, somehow, in this case. I was so pleased with how this turned out that I did something I usually don't do--I took it right off the easel and put it on eBay, without even waiting a day or two to make sure it didn't need more work.
It's a funny thing about paintings--you paint them, and off they go. You might never see them again. If I write a book, I'll always have the book around. But paintings? They either go, or they pile up around the house.
This one should go live happily ever after with someone, not collect dust in my attic. Besides, I'm embarking upon a new fundraising mission: I've got an idea to go off and paint for a whole month next year. More on that soon.

These little pumpkins and gourds are SO much fun to paint, especially on days when the sun is shining!

The second, and last (at least for a while) Joy of Cooking painting.

This is my grandmother's Joy of Cooking. I think it's an edition from the sixties. Scott uses it a lot, mostly to look up old-fashioned recipes like macaroni and cheese or Dutch pancakes. It was fun to paint, although I'm sure it's obvious to you that I do NOT enjoy trying to paint letters! Won't be doing much more of that. I've got another one I'll put up tomorrow, and you'll see that I figured out a way to get out of it on that one.

Another sign that autumn is here: the chickens have started their winter moult. Poor Abigail is losing all her neck feathers at once. Very undignified. Not to mention a little punk.

These apples looked slightly thuggish, so that's why I called them a gang. And actually, the two in the middle are apples, and the other two are peaches--but I'm not sure if anyone but me can tell!

As promised--apples. I'm hoping to get around to some pumpkins soon. So many interesting things to paint in the fall, so little time.
Hey, here's something new: I've set up a shop at Etsy for paintings that don't sell on eBay. Etsy is an online marketplace that only sells handmade items--art, crafts, sewing, etc. I really love the idea of people all over the world making one-of-a-kind items by hand and selling them online, so I thought I'd head over there and give it a try. You can check out my Etsy shop here, and there's a link in the lefthand sidebar, too.

The third and final in the series! For now, anyway...
Change is good
