“New Hope #75,” AeroGarden week 9

Only one week until my vacation!  Yippee!
I’ve been painting, varnishing, listing, signing, wrapping, & shipping a lot this week, in an attempt to be stress-free in Orlando.  I hope there won’t be overwhelming work to do when I get back.
I wish I could show you all the paintings I’ve created in this style so far.  [...]

Mish-mash of ramblings. Contest?

First order of business:  Robin, where are you?  My top blog commenter has gone missing.    Hoping all is well…
I listed “New Hope #73″ last night:

I’ve been super-mega-ultra busy trying to paint enough pieces so I can schedule some listings during my vacation.  That reminds me – I’m going on vacation in about a [...]

AeroGarden Chili Peppers week 8

I should have some peppers pretty soon!  Lots of flowers have formed and I’ve been hand-pollinating them.  The plant on the right rear corner is way bigger than any of the others.  Kind of surprising considering it’s farthest from the window.

My favorite piece so far. And ANGER!

First, some pertinent info about the style transformation.  The copycats definitely had something to do with my need/desire for a drastic change…they kept using the one-color-on-the-breast/one-color on the nipple style that I’m known for, in an obvious attempt to profit from my hard work.  I’m sorry to keep bringing it up here, but having my [...]

“New Hope #71″

I have another series on the horizon, but I feel that it’s more important to develop my new style a little better first…you know, since it’s going to get stolen within 2 weeks anyway. I feel like I’ve reached a fun experimental spot in my development – it’s nice to have positive feelings and [...]

“New Hope #70″ – a whole new level.

I proudly present to you one of my style-transformation pieces…”New Hope #70:”

I have a bunch of photos that got miscategorized/wound up in a garbage folder on my desktop.  Since WordPress so generously gives my a good amount of free photo hosting, I’ll bore you with a bunch of them and maybe a quick synopsis of [...]

Adults Only post – “New Hope #69″

Today I’m in the market for a…ahem…”marital aid” for Mr. Koopa.  It seems that I accidentally stepped on his poly-resin lady friend ”Flo,” and chipped away some more of her shell.  “Flo” is almost 8 years old and has taken a beating from the moment she was brought home.  Don’t be fooled by Koopa’s sweet exterior…he likes [...]

“New Hope #68″

The “New Hope” series is experiencing a huge transformation!  Different color palettes and a different paint application process will make this series become even more vivid and expressive than you’ve seen so far.  If you haven’t noticed the transformation yet, you should by #70.
Listed tonight, New Hope #68:”

Where’s Koopa?
