Lucky #7 was the winning number in today's drawing, so Kelley in Vancouver is the winner! Congratulations!Today's give away is a copy of my "Headlines" book ($50 value). Last month I had a show at the SoPas Gallery that featured 17 paintings inspired from headlines in the South Pasadena Review newspaper from the 1930's, 40's and 50's. The book features all of the paintings and headlines. So make a comment on today's blog to be entered in the drawing. AND don't forget all comments from the entire week will be included in Tuesday's drawing for a free painting!

Good luck and thanks!

Sorry I haven't been on my blog for awhile. I am on the East Coast touring colleges with my middle son and we are having a wonderful time! We have visited Georgetown, UVA and Duke. Tomorrow we visit UNC and then we visit Davidson on Wednesday. We have met all of the baseball coaches and have toured some great baseball facilities and games. We have attended all of the college information meetings and tours and wow ... these campuses are beautiful!

This is definitely a "boy week" so I thought it might make sense to post a "girl painting"! Enjoy!

He Loves Me ...

"He Loves Me"

Oil, 6" x 6" on canvas panel

$200 unframed.

"He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not" is a game of French origin, in which one person seeks to determine whether the object of their affection returns that affection or not. We played it as a kid and I don't remember if the daisy was usually right or not. What other ways have you determined if your loved one loves you?

I am heading out of town this weekend with my middle son. We are heading back east for a week to do the "college tour" and visit colleges in Virginia and North Carolina (and meet baseball coaches and watch lots of college baseball games!). It should be a wonderful time and I am really excited to spend this time with my son. I am trying to stock up on daily paintings but so far, no luck!

I think I am enjoying painting flowers this week because the sun is out and the air is finally warm! It has been a very cold and wet "winter" in Southern California and I know I deserve no sympathy from anyone east of here because your weather has been much worse! But there is nothing that reminds me more of spring than a single flower sprouting up in a bed of green ...

As a mother of three boys I love it when I can paint with pink. There is just not enough pink in my life (or house for that matter). When I was growing up I thought pink was a sissy color (yes, I was a bit of a tomboy) but over the years I have learned to appreciate this yummy color!

My favorite ice cream is peppermint, my favorite flowers are pink peonies and my favorite item of clothing is my cozy pink robe! Here's to perhaps ... grand daughters someday?
