Season of Singing...

i've given up trying to get the photograph of this painting right - the background has no pink in it - it's all blue, and much more vibrant than this. The bird is colorful, but not quite so, ummm... neon!

Anyway - this will give you a good idea of it -

happy painting to all!

Winnie da pooh...

i must admit - i totally forgot it was Monday yesterday and this blog never entered my brain... not for a second! That's one heckuva Monday, ain't it?

Here are some pics of a mural I painted in a new business (children's consignment) on Saturday. It was fun! I've not painted a mural in some time and had forgotten how much fun they are. If you are my area - the business is called 'The Hunny Pot'. It will be opening on Tuesday the 22nd. It's in Cary, right on Maynard Rd near the intersection of Kildaire and Maynard... go check them out!

See yall tomorrow...!

Pooh in progress.... (and piglet too!)
