"Magic Carpet" --- SOLD



This is a tomato from my mother's garden. I picked it myself and got it home before the stem started to dry out, which is quite a change from the tomatoes I get at the store.

Tomorrow I leave for Canada for 2 weeks. I'll have my computer so I'll continue to post. In fact I've just purchased a new backpack that my laptop will fit into. It also comes out easily, which was my main objective. When you go through security anymore at the airport you've got to remove your computer from the case, in addition to taking off shoes, taking out cameras, removing coins, etc. Ugh. It's rather embarrassing to hold up the entire line. :{ Perhaps I should think about slip on shoes ... hmmmm

For sure do the slip on shoes. My best bet are Dansko Professional Clogs. I have taught, stood and painted in them for hours and hours.
Have a great trip...wish I were going to!

Carol,

I like the orange piece this is sitting on (fabric?)

Have a great stay in Alberta. I've been there, and it
is absolutely beautiful. If at all possible, go
see Lake Louise, and the beautiful chateau next to the lake with fields of poppies! It is gorgeous. Everything in Alberta, is bigger, fresher, cleaner. The farms are HUGE! You'll love it.

Welcome to Canada, I hope that you'll have a great stay here. sorry I missed your workshop.

I like the warm reds against the cool blue grey.

Is that a slice of Velvetta Cheese? I most embarrassingly must admit that I LOVE that cheese! Oh yeah, almost forgot...I love your paintings as well! Thanks for the plug on your blog (say that 3 times fast), and have a great time en plein air up in Canada. Can't wait to see what you bring back. I'd definitely would suggest slip on shoes. Did you know that the word "travel" is a derivative of the word "travail"? And now-a-days, for good reason!

So clever. I think of the energy and fresh approach you achieve when I go to paint. Thanks for the inspiration.

Always enjoy your work - such a profusion of ideas! Try LL Bean's slides, they are wonderful and you can wear them all day, every day and forget you have feet!

Hi Carol, I've been enjoying your daily blog for a while now and that's why I'm awarding your blog the Arte Y Pico award..I was awarded this as well and am passing it along to you. Check out the link on my blog...happy painting.

Hi Carol,

I just came across your blog and wanted to say how much I love your work. These little paintings are just beautiful--there's so much movement and boldness to them, and the colors are gorgeous!

What a sparkler. I love the crisp edges on the little 'carpet' which looks like it's about to take off!
Nice!
Seems like I already made this comment, sort of deja vu.
