Are we there yet?

When is something done?
With a cake - you can use the toothpick method.
Pregnant?  There is an definitive end.
Vacation?  Done, when you arrive back home.
Painting?  Hard for me to figure that out sometimes.

This is really busy and I was going to figure a way to calm it down - but decided to leave it as is.

Picture

Last night I considered this done.
Today I do not.
Oh, I am so, so fickle.

This was a garage sale canvas that had a child's painting on it, and I scraped away some of my layers of paint to reveal the kiddy colors underneath.
Done.
For sure.

Love this section!

I put a clear finish coat on this - but not certain if it is done yet.
Might still be rare and I am wanting medium.

More art on the gallery porch on a sunny day.

The sun is finally, FINALLY, out today. 
  I put a couple of pieces of art on the porch of my office/studio/gallery.
The Robot was just a fun  thing I made from leftover scraps of canvas on a 50¢ piece of plywood - and when I set him on an easel that a pal gave me last week - it looks like he has legs now!  How fun is that?

Not sure if this one is done yet.   I have set it aside to ponder on it.

Inventory.
I have a "stack" of finished canvases that are waiting.
Waiting to get stretched onto frames.
Waiting to get cut up into smaller pieces and framed.
Waiting for just the right person.
Waiting for the recession to be done with.

Got my paintings done for our art club project. 
Here is the photo of the view through the old barn that I used.
(love this old barn - I take a lot of photos of the barn!)

The photo.

The photo is on top.
The painting on the left is a very abstract idea from the photo and the one on the right is a little more realistic - in an abstract way...

I don't often try to paint "something" and it wa

I did not paint much last week and I just feel all out of sorts...
I have a little project due for my little art club and it is due in 2 days.

The plan was to work on it today - but  I am not feeling well and there goes the whole day.   
I take photos on my iphone as I drive  by this barn almost everyday on my commute.
