#39 Daily Painting - Showing Frame
This is a potted plant that I painted plein air in Locke, CA, on a bright sunny day. It was a scraggly little plant in a clay pot with pitiful pink flowers. I set my easel and in no time set to painting.

Painting #28 - All Aglow
I know, I know, I haven't been posting a painting every day. I've been very sick all week. Some nasty bug I caught that has made my asthma flare up and every night I'm having trouble breathing. I'm missing my gym workout so much and am sick of the inactivity. I've been forcing myself to paint whenever I have the energy.
Tomorrow I'm going to be painting at a big event at Rush Ranch and on Sunday I'll be painting at another event at a winery in St. Helena. Both are events that are open to the public and they've invited plein air groups to participate. Should be fun, I'm looking forward to painting plein air this weekend as I've pretty much been cooped up in the house all week.
So, I guess I should redo my painting a day goal to A Painting a Day, As Long As I'm not sick. :-P
Here's a painting I did before I got sick.

Painting #27 - Pleasants Valley Farm
The frame below is handmade by Michael and hand painted by me. Mike has been very busy making a bunch of frames for the upcoming art gallery I'll be going in, in June. He's also making them for several of my paintings that will be at the Art on the Vine event in Fairfield on the same first weekend in June.

Painting a Day - #24 & #25
You saw this one from yesterday's post from painting at the iris farm. Here it is again, as painting a day #24 and below this is painting a day #25. I figured it's been awhile since I posted my daily paintings, (I've been busy working on orders) that I should try to get caught up here.

Plein air #23
Here's my latest, it's an 8 x 10. When we were painting in Tiburon last month, I snapped a photo of this house by the roadside with Mt. Tam behind it for future reference and decided to do a quick little study of it.

#24 Landscape - Point Reyes Seashore
We were painting in and around Point Reyes and happened to come upon this beautiful scene off the road. There was nowhere to park to paint this plein air so my husband slowed the truck down for me to capture a reference photo.
