This painting will be in an art show called Skylines during most of June--If you're interested in buying this one, you can e-mail me, suebeau@sbcglobal.net, but I'll have to hold on to it till July.
This telephone pole is just across the street from my house.
I bought this sweet little (about 3 1/2 x 2") watercolor painting at the Morro Bay art in the Park this past weekend. I just love this painting.
I went right home and framed it using a piece of plexi glass, mat board and tape around the edges. Click on the picture to read their business card.
I also like the idea of two sisters (twins) selling their art together. Check out their web site , Fantasy Art! 
More power lines.
I love my granddaughter's paper doll--that's her green sink on the right--Gumby just happens to be looking on. I tried to make an old fashion paper doll--the kind I remember my grandmother making for my sister and I.
Grandpa has his own ideas for paper fun.
We lost our power early in the dark of the morning. A friend of mine is hanging an art show with power lines/communication for a theme. I thought I'd do a few small paintings to possibly hang. there are lots of crazy overloaded poles probably in more than one place here in this little town--wires threaded every which way overhead--poles bending--scary looking really!
Wet laundry on a foggy day.
I had all these great ideas of linking any other paintings having to do with clothes hanging on a line. It's a good idea, but I need to play with my granddaughter before she gets way too upset with me for being on this computer!!
I get to this point of posting and always I have a block as to what to say! I'm more of a visual person, but I do love to read. So while sitting under my lemon tree this humming bird came along--she was interested in the water--I had the hose on the tree in a slow drizzle. I think she must have smelled the water since it wasn't making any noise and it wasn't spraying into the air.
I'm finding that at the age of five, there is a little reverting back to baby ways--my granddaughter is getting old enough to know that she's getting older--moving on to older things--so she's curious about her baby days and loves hearing stories about that time.
This past weekend was the Dega Days art show at Pacific Dance. I brought in five paintings. I was honored to have Eric Peterson and his wife buy two of them. Eric Peterson is a nationally recognized illustrator and art instructor. Check out his web site. I'll put my other dance paintings back up for sale--in case anyone was interested.
Speaking of bugs--I don't know what kind of bug engraves these tracks, but I love the designs they make!
Bubble play--I have the yellow straw, but took a break to take these pictures.
My granddaughter was in a parade as a mermaid with her dance troop--letting the community know of the upcoming Little Mermaid performance on June 27th. It was a busy weekend!
Maybe this season we'll actually grow some avocados! I hope so. I'm working on a few things--scroll down to see how I frame my paintings.
These will be going into a show at the dance studio where my granddaughter takes lessons.
I'm painting two natal charts--you'll see their progression...
The marionette is strung! His name is Uni, (pronounced Unee) I love his big dirty sock nose.
The winter's light has been replaced. The spring's early morning light catches this trunk and this bouncy ball. Your basic primary color scheme.
I liked how these young girl's dancing arms framed this older viewer.
Some photos of before and after Easter.
My husband tried to get just the right color of JADE for his egg.
We made braided bread--yummm!
These are two projects in the making: A Unicorn Marionette, my granddaughter and I made using all found materials around the house, and two natal wheels I'm working on. You may see those natal wheels again as I add more and more to them.
So I have this theme going on about dancers--there is a reason. Pacific Dance, the studio where my granddaughter takes lessons will be having an art show, called Dega Days. I'll be hanging and hopefully selling my dance paintings. A % of the sales will go toward the production of The Little Mermaid set for June 27th. Oh, and check out the girl with the balloon--do you think she'll pop it?
Another ballet painting. Couldn't resist that ballet hair! More photos from the weekend, below.
We took a Dora the Explorer hike with maps, a backpack, a book...we had to bring pieces of dried eucalyptus leaves to the log where the bug lives--food for the mama bug; one of our Dora Explorer goals. This lead to our nature art--our mini Andy Goldsworthy.
On this day my granddaughter gave not all of her stuffed animals a ride, but about...well a whole laundry basket full. Note the different animals in the basket. The black cat is an allies cat, if you are interested, my sister is making them again! Check out her Etsy shop. Looks like they're on sale!
In the spirit of April first, the daily painters came up with the theme, "out of the box"--meaning we'd create something in an entirely different way than what we're used to. Although I've created collaborations with my granddaughter, this one is a collaboration with my sister Martha--she drew and painted the bottom image--sent it to me--I then let it sit for about a year before finishing it here. Martha is working on a very large and amazing wall piece--please do check it out!
