Yesterday I felt like trying something in a more whimsical style and it was really a hoot!  He is a 

romantic sort of fellow!  Today I found that I had sold six paintings at the Nansemond Suffolk Academy show!  And another at my gallery in Ashland!  I will be painting for another show coming up in May and possibly an outdoor show in April.  I will know more about that soon.  Thanks so much for checking my blog and for your wonderful comments and emails!  Have a great Friday!

Lots of rain and cool breezes here today at the beach.  It was a good day to stay inside and paint and even took an afternoon siesta.  Then I had some dinner and went back to work and finished up this gal who is grazing instead of napping in the beautiful sun along the coast of Ireland.  Occasionally she gets a bite of some shamrocks!  Hope your have a great day!

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs

Wow!  I love this quote.  Hope you had a great Tuesday.  I saw the moon tonight and it reminded me of the movie...Bruce Almighty where Jim Carey made the moon way bigger in the sky before lassoing it for her.  It was so big and bright that it didn't seem real.  Kinda made the whole day for me.  Thanks for visiting!  This piece will be going into a show unless someone purchases it before then.  I have a gold plain air frame for it that can be purchased separately if you email me at normasart@cox.net for more info.  

Cheers!

I love to drive past fields at twilight and see the cows all lit with that light that glows just before sundown.  

I imagine that this gal is just letting out a big mooo.  I had a great day in my studio first taking care of bills and paperwork and then painting for awhile.  It should be a busy week, painting with friends and getting ready for an upcoming show.  I was asked to bring work to a new gallery in Norfolk called The Gallery At East Beach.  That should be happening sometime in May.  I hope you have a terrific Tuesday!

I have not yet listed this on the site of Daily Paintworks but once I do that, I 

will have a link to purchase.  I had fun with the colors and made her bike the same color as my beach cruiser.  I imagine that she is just stopped to get some candy at the Sweet Shop!  Hope you had a great weekend!  I have had a lovely restful one and managed to get my closets sorted out a bit.  Doesn't that sound exciting?  I purchased a shelving unit for my studio too.  I have so much stuff in such a small house but gradually I am finding everything and putting it in the right spot.  Have a super Monday!

It is so late and I will add the Buy It Now button in the morning.

Spent the day cleaning and getting some new shelving set up in my studio to display some of the small pieces I do every day.  Hope you had a fun Saturday!

Happy Birthday to my middle son, Sean, who turned 25 today!  This time 25 years ago we had already left the hospital and brought him home to meet his older brother.  Wonderful memories.. <3

Beach Dunes

Recently,  I discovered a new type of panel to paint on called Clayboard.  It is very absorbent and 

that forces you to work even faster and has a really cool look to the finished painting.  I will definitely be doing more on this surface.  This scene took on a life of its own from a photo I took when out with my dog Bailee and developed into dunes which reminded me of when I spent time in Ireland by the seaside as a child.  We would run up and down the dunes in Tramore and ate by bonfires out there.  Another place we spent the night out under the stars.  I am pleased how this turned out as it felt like it was leading me on an adventure while I painted.  That is a very exciting way to paint.  Tomorrow, I am going to spend the day cleaning up from all this painting and see if I can find some shallow shelving to place all my paintings while they dry.  Welcome to my new subscribers this week.  Thank you to all of you who read my blog, and take the time to comment.  And thank you to my new collectors!  You keep me covered in paint and going on new adventures!  Have a wonderful Friday!  It is the weekend!

More fun today painting a horse.  I loved this pose in a reference I found on wet canvas.com.  She has such a pretty face.  She looks like she is walking in mist and coming to the edge of the woods into the light.  Horses are such beautiful creatures and I used to dream of owning my own horse.  I was a city girl and that was not possible but I have ridden horses in some beautiful places over the years and always loved every minute of it.  I also read every book I could find about horses including the book called "Misty".  She was a wild horse from Chincateague which is only a couple of hours from me up the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Hope you have a great Thursday!  I can't believe another week has gone by already.  Thanks for checking with me!

I worked on this daisy taken from a larger bouquet and it sat on my table by my studio window.  It is always a challenge working from life as the light is constantly changing as you work.  It was a fun exercise!  I had the second half of my crown work done today so I am finished and don't have to go back for six months!  Yeah!  It is the end of the month and I have not done a newsletter for January!  I decided to just do one this week for February and do two drawings for free paintings to make up for January.  It really was a busy month with the school shows and my painting a day challenge. You might notice that the number is not keeping up with the date as I started it on the second so I will have to post two one day. By the end of the year, I should have 366 as this is a leap year.  Well, my work day is complete and my grand puppy Jet is here for another sleep over so I will be hugging my two doggies and watching some

t.v.  Thank for stopping by!
