Palette Knife Daily Oil Painting of a Woman in a Green Dress

"Emerald"

6 x 6 inches, Oil on Board

I was out shopping today and was surprised to find so many items for sale for Valentines from candies and chocolates from every candy manufacturer to stuffed animals, plates, bags, clothes, lingerie, wrapping paper, romantic cards, funny cards, cards to give a whole classroom of kids...etc etc etc.... This sure has turned into a major gift giving holiday.

I just hope my Valentine remembers to get me a card or write me a love note :)

Oil Palette Kinfe Painting of A Green Dress

I've had a wonderful few days - spending time with other artists. On Thursday I had coffee with Linda Bein. I'd seen her name at a gallery in a town I'd exhbited my artwork this past Spring but I did not know her until we shared coffee. I emailed her introducing myself and she agreed to share a cup of coffee and network.

On Friday, I went to Laurie Pace's house and visited her in her studio. That was a treat! Seeing another artist's studio!!!

On Saturday I met with my pal Nancy Medina and we went shopping to Asel Art Supply in Dallas and visited a couple of Galleries on Dragon Street. I like talking with her, exchanging ideas, news and encouragments. I feel like I've been given a shot of inspiration!!

Ok - do I have any typos here? Let me know if I do.
