It has been very hot here and I have been wanting to learn how to etch on my recycled glass wine bottles and I finally got around to it. This bottle was slumped with a handle and it has a tropical fish etched onto it. I made it into a cheese dish for Glynis.

It was done in a very large blasting box and for my next one I will need to find a stool to stand upon.

"Carl Digging Out the Wine Cellar" is a 12" x 10" Gouache watercolor by award winning International artist, Arlene Wright-Correll. It is done on Cansons 100% acid free paper. The artist says, "The other day Donna sent a very old fuzzy picture of Carl in the underground wine cellar he built in 1975.

We sure did have some good times that created some wonderful memories and we thank Donna for the old photo."

"Arlene's Gardening Jacket II©" is a 12" x 9" Gouache Watercolor painting on Cansons 100% acid free watercolor paper.

Another bright, blue sky day. I rarely paint the same thing twice as my mind is too eclectic or weird as some members of my family labels. However, a bright, blue sky day brought me out into my gardens early today when it was chilly and eventually my old friendly, faded gardening jacket got removed and hung up on the pole.

Upon turning around at one point in my weeding I noticed the jacket from a "different point of view" and it caused me to do two things. One was to create another painting of my gardening jacket and the second was to do some honest to good thinking about "different points of views". Here is "Arlene's Gardening Jacket II" and here is the article that was the result of that painting.

It makes a good companion piece for Arlene's Gardening Jacket. It is unmatted and unframed.

"Arlene's Gardening Jacket" is a 12" x 9" Gouache watercolor painting on Cansons 100% acid free watercolor painting and it is unmatted and unframed. Award winning American artist, Arlene Wright-Correll says, "About 15 years ago I had started to make some quilt patches. Who knows why as I did not intend to make a quilt and I found 3 button up sweatshirts on sale in Wal-mart one day which I purchased and proceeded to put a quilt patch on the back of each and make pockets on the front of each side with smaller quilt patches. I eventually sold one in the campground store, gave one away as a gift and retained the black one for my own use.
It has served me well and I usually wear it whenever I do outside work and often in the art studio when there is a chill. It has gotten pretty ragged and has evidence of art work on it where paint has spattered or I have wiped my hands or even a paint brush now and then. Lately I have thrown it in the trash about 4 times. However, like a small child with it's security "woobie" I haul it out just before the trash is taken down the drive, wash it one more time and put it back on.
When the day warms up as I work outside this old faded jacket comes off and is hung on the nearest post. Today I decided to paint a picture of it. I have omitted the landscape background because I felt it would take away from the jacket. Just about every thing an artist paints has a story and this is the story of this painting titled "Arlene's Gardening Jacket".

I finally was able to get out of the stained glass studio and finish up a bunch of kiln fusing projects. Now I am back to painting.. I worked in the big studio this morning on a really big picture that I am doing and can only do so much at a time on it. It is a pallette knife work in acrylics.

I went into my original small art studio and decided to paint a picture of one of my grandsons. Ryan's dad had just sent me a small wallet size photo of this year's school picture.

Since I am practicing painting children with colored pencils here was a good subject to work from.

This is a 7" x 5" colored pencil painting of Ryan.

Overcast and windy today. I have plants to put in the big containers, but too chilly so I painted this little bird instead. I have asked customer service at Birds & Blooms what it is. Waiting for an answer. I have a hired man working in the gardens today and he is doing a grand job. Hopefully, he will show back up tomorrow. I have at least 2 full days work, perhaps 3.

So until I learn the correct name for this bird, I am calling it Little Brown Bird.

"From Arlene's Garden©" is my daily painting. Often I do not do a painting a day, but I do some kind of art or creativity each day. Somedays I am working on about 4 or 5 things during the day. In the evening both Carl and I have all we can do to get out of our chairs. Both of us have to take about 3 or 4 steps before we get our "motors' running as Carl says. It is a funny looking sight. But once we are moving, get out of the way! These are all spring flowers I picked from one of my gardens the other day. It is a gouache watercolor painting with pen and India ink, done on 100% acid free watercolor paper. The size is approximately 8" x 6.5" and has a temporary matting to stablize the painting. It is signed by the artist and comes with an artist signed Certificate of Authenticity and an artist bio.

I don't know who the old master is who painted the original painting, but I liked the layout and I did this small 8" x 10" oil on board today and put in the faces of Piper with eyeglasses, Donna in red jacket and Andrew in the middle and I call it "Old Master's Happy Hour". I think I should do these in acrylics as it dries so fast and I can work the faces better as opposed to oils which I become impatient with because of their slowness. I put it in a nice gold wooden frame. After 2 days in the 70's it is trying to snow now! Yikes!
