In Washington state this is considered a noxious weed. Hard to believe.

"3 Chicks", oil on masonite, 5x5"
This is the remainder of the group from yesterday. After spending so much time painting headless display figures I was really looking forward to these. Neither of them turned out the way I had envisioned; in fact I've repainted "2 Chicks" already. However, I really enjoyed doing them and, like the cat images, will continue regardless.

This dress is in the most amazing little shop. The floor is so full of gowns you can barely think. I introduced myself to the owners and explained about my paintings. They were most certainly foreign born and the conversation was a little labored. However, once they got over their skepticism they were very proud to have me wander the floor, appreciating all that they had painstakingly picked. When I reached the back of the store I was frozen with the sight of this lushious gown. It stood alone between two mirrors, elevated from the main floor. The color of the carpet defies definition. Teamed with the sherbert hues of the dress it was truly magical.

I was really grateful that this store was closed. I'm not much of a shopper but I sure appreciate whimsy in shoes. I would probably have wanted to buy almost every single one of these. The stupid part? I almost NEVER wear jeans. That leaves one to wonder what in the heck I would wear them with. Our house was built in 1939. That means NO closets. Storage could be and issue.

This somehow reminds me of my mother. She was very elegant, very southern and always very well dressed. She died when she was 47 so in my minds eye she never got old. I didn't get her long, lanky genes so I never quite was the daughter she had in mind. I think she hoped to raise a Miss America. Instead she got a stocky athelete with scraped knees and elbows and a desire to run with the boys. I wish I had known her better.

We live in a small town where many of the families have been here for generations. Some days it's hard to know who works in the shops and who's shopping. Everyone mills around, in and out, behind the counters carrying on like it was a coffee clatch. This is in one of those glorious shops. The Jackie O wanna be is tucked back in a corner, surrounded by hangers full of history just waiting to be loved again. The hats rotate in and out but the rest stays pretty much the same. I've come to count on that.

I'm becoming oddly comfortable with these headless creatures. The title comes from this strange feeling I get from this angle. It's almost as if they are huddling together, depending on the strength of the group. As much as I miss painting heads I almost don't miss them with these three.

bronze pour
This is an image of one of our custom door knobs. I was cast here on the property. Our company name is Roknob.
We have 6 bronze artists coming to our place today to pour their work. There should be about another 15 to watch. That means I'm feeding breakfast and dinner to about 20. It's always a smashing good time but it left no time for painting yesterday and it's unlikely I will make it into the painting studio today. Deviled eggs, cinnimon rolls, crackers with peanut, ginger,cilantro dip this AM, savory cheese cake with pita chips, roasted vegetable meatloaf, mashed potatoes with mustard, green beans and a pasta salad with snap peas and peanut sauce this afternoon. Of course beer and wine and a macadamia nut, caramel chocolate ganache tart to finish. I'll waddle out to paint tomorrow. Thanks for checking in.
