The image to the right is of two Muscovy duck eggs with their mother next to them. They were kind of tucked into some of her feathers. They are a pale shade of green. I liked how the bright yellow straw reflected up onto the bottom of them. I started a larger painting today and doubt that it'll be finished by tomorrow, so if I don't post it Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful mothers out there. God bless you. "Duck Eggs and Their Mom", 6"x6", oil on gessobord, framed $75. SOLD

I totally forgot to post last night. I must have been overly-tired. Sorry. I am also wiped out tonight, so this will be short. The image to the right is yesterday's painting of watermelon seeds, still stuck to the watermelon seedlings. "Watermelon Seeds and Seedlings", oil on board, 6"x6", $75., framed. 
Sold.  I've already had my margarita to celebrate, so it's time to go to bed and read "The Sociopath Next Door". 'Nite

I'm extremely pleased to announce that this painting to the right --Sunrise at What is Now Whitegate Estates", has been accepted in The 10th International American Juried Art Salon. Can we all say whoo hoo! Please just say a prayer that it wins. In all honesty I won't be sad if it doesn't. I feel like I've won already. It received a perfect score of 20 out of 20 points. I'll gladly take that. I'm working on another seedling painting that should be ready tomorrow. On Saturday I drove to Tamaqua, PA and got a trio of ducks, a drake and two hens, along with two absolutely adorable Silkie chix. The duck hens are already laying, which is a thrill for me. The drake is very handsome and looks like Gussie. Nikki from Hattrick Silkies drove to meet me. Her Silkies were just on Martha Stewart's Chicken Show http://www.marthastewart.com/show/the-martha-stewart-show/the-chicken-show You can visit Nikki's site with this link www.hattricksilkies.homestead.com She and her poultry are wonderful. Well it's time for me to go spend some time with Jay. 'Nite.
