"Rocky" by Anne Spoon

28"x30" oil

I borrowed this antique rocking horse from a friend who collects all kinds of wonderful treasures. I have to admit it was a challenge thinking about pulling this off. Lots of planning before I started helped me to be free to just paint.

"Melon Row"

This melon wasn't very sweet, and I would hate to throw it away. This was an exercise in speed painting. I had a friend years ago who is no longer with us who used to say "we need to paint with "raw abandon" and that dosen't come in a tube!"

I have been doing my daily painting, but I have not been posting because my computer had the Trojan virus, so I have been without it for several days. When you have a teenager on the web it gets risky. You never know what you might get. Good to be back, I really missed not having the computer, five years ago I would have laughed at that. Oh well, you have to keep up with the times.

"Blue and Gold"

This is one of my new favorite color combinations, love it! Had a great time painting today. It makes me feel bad for those who hate their job, what misery to watch the clock all day. Today flew by, I was almost late picking the boys up from school, I had to drop the brushes and scoot.

"Pretty Little Cup"

This was a fun one. Hope you all like it.

"Tea with Lemon"

I feel like I have learned so much since I started doing these daily paintings. I have painted for a long time, 24 years, but by compressing all the steps of picture making into one hour, give or take, it forces you to problem solve, deal with new composition, and color theory everyday. It's like doing your scales in music, it keeps you mentally and physically sharp. No pun intended.

"Fresh Sliced #2"

I enjoyed painting the first one so much, I thought I'd do another one. They could hang side by side, I think that would be neat.

"Fresh Sliced"

The tomatoes are in abundance right now. Don't you just love home grown tomatoes. They are one of my favorite parts of Summer.

"Dazzle"

AC fixed, Iam back in business. Any more time off and I might have to clean house.

"Jasmine"

I'm not very pleased with this, but they can't all be winners.

"Random"

After painting so many 6"x6" paintings, a 12"x12" seems big. I am trying to figure out how to set up a "sign up for my blog space like so many other daily painters have but I'm not tech savvy. I would also know how to have a "click here to bid" button. Can anyone help me?

"Back To Back"

Ok, this is the last part of this painting I will post. Maybe.

"Just a Slice"

It's that time pf year again, the garden are full of vegatables and fruit. I back lit this slice of watermelon, the seeds looked cool.
