Great Blue I

 Oh, today was different to say the least. I started my day as usual with my coffee and Bible. After finishing the readings and sending messages I got ready to go to the Chiropractor. Chris went to a doctor's appointment. I got home from my appointment then the dog groomer showed up to trim, wash, and clip. While the groomer was here, Jere (our son) called and wanted to go to lunch. I said sure and Chris joined us for Mexican food. After arriving home, I put in some studio time and painted this guy.

I also got a shipment of several yards of netting for Jessica's dress, flounce, and train. Of course, when it arrived, I was trying to carefully unpack it. She texted and said Fed ex just delivered. I explained it was a difficult package to open but give me a minute as I was already in the process of opening it to tell her it had arrived. 10 yards of pink and 30 yards of White. I had to unroll the pink onto another roll in order to see the white. (It's a good thing I save my rolls from canvas!) We are both happy with the products and now have another step in the process to begin the building of her Queen's ensemble.

I finished my painting for today and went with Chris to take the dogs for their afternoon journey in the car. Both of the Wirehairs were so fluffy and sticking their heads out the window blowing their top knots back from their faces. I've never seen a dachshund that loves wind as much as Ruby. She will stick her head out at 40mph and barely blink. Bandit can barely handle 25. So funny to watch!

We then came home for Chris to watch TV for a while, and I headed back to the studio. I started another painting and then it was time for church in the evening.

We attended church with my brother Glen joining us. We also had a meal of potato soup, and I had the leftover cut up vegetables as well.

All in all, a good day. One day closer to the Annual National Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama!

 Another great day in the studio. Another day closer to the Annual National Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama. This guy was fun to paint after a day with my daughter working on her Queens ensemble.

My daughter Jessica will be Queen of the Phoenix organization early next year. There is an incredible amount of crazy work to do in the meantime. I was a professional seamstress for years until a drunk driver changed the landscape of my body. I have two herniated discs in my neck, and nerve damage in my right arm. I am herniated on the right side but have found relief with a wonderful product called "Huggterra". This device is an incredible invention that vibrates, has heat, pressure points, and electric stim therapy. 15 minutes a day, and I am loosening up more and more. The Huggterra and Chiropractic care are helping a great deal. There are still days though.... Some days are diamonds and some days are dirt. 

Anyway, back to my personal Queen. She has designed her dress with help from another designer, and I am doing the main build of the dress, skirt, and train. To say it's complicated is an understatement, but that is typical of my daughter. She has the most spectacular ideas and expects me to execute them. I pray a lot, and the Holy Spirit answers a lot, allowing me to do things I never imagined. It's a lot of engineering, sewing, hand work, and prayer on my part. This design will be spectacular on a lot of levels. 

I am so grateful for the many talents God has given me. He allows me to do things I never dreamed of when I was younger. I've also been asked to do another mural at a condo in Fort Morgan. That's already on my schedule for January of next year along with getting ready for shows in the springtime. 

Painting, camping, showing, spending time with my best friend Chris! This is our artists life here in Fairhope, Alabama!

It is so good to see the pelicans make a comeback. I know they can get annoying with the messes they make, but they are so beautiful in flight. They were at the edge of extinction as a result of the use of DDT. This pesticide made their eggshells so fragile that when they went to sit on the nest, they crushed the eggs. This species has truly made a roaring comeback. They are found along the West coast, but they are more yellow in their head area. They range from Oregon to below Mexico into South America. Their range is also Southern covering the Gulf Coast down into South America, Cuba, and the Bahamas. They also go up the Eastern seaboard as well. Most of the time, our pelicans stay locally for the most part. Some of them fly South for the winter. On the Pacific side, they leave the Gulf of California after breeding.

They eat small fish for the most part including menhaden, herring, anchovies, mullet and sailfish mollies. They fly and dive from up to 65 feet high. They tuck and twist to the left to protect its esophagus and trachea from the impact. Their throat pouch expands, trapping the fish with up to 2.6 gallons of water. They are typically found within 12 miles of shore. They can also feed from the surface of the water if it is too shallow and muddy to plunge. They will also steal from other birds and scavenge dead animals. 

Pelicans are awkward on the ground but are strong swimmers and powerful fliers. They are susceptible to oil spills as they nest near shipping channels. They are also still hunted and eggs are eaten on Latin American and Caribbean coasts. They are also endangered by fishing lines and lures. There are an estimated 700 birds that die from this alone. The birds themselves weigh about 8 pounds. Their wingspan is about 7 feet. They have no teeth either, their stomach does all the work digesting their fishy catch. They have two stomach chambers, the first secretes acid that softens bones and scales. The food then moves to the gizzard which further grinds the food into smaller pieces.

Now you may know more about Brown pelicans than you want to know. These guys are such a comical goofy bird on land, but there's no denying the grace with which they fly just above the water.

Not what I expected!

 Today was not what I expected. I was planning to paint more shells, but time was getting away from me, so I switched to the pelican for today. This guy was a pleasure to paint after the intensity of the shells the past two days. I love painting the detail of the shells, but they put such tension into my neck. Small details do that of course, but sometimes the little details are what counts big!

I've always loved painting pelicans. They are becoming quite the nuisance bird though, leaving their bird splatter everywhere. They can also be rather aggressive when seeking food from the fishermen on the dock. Don't even think you can toss a piece of a fish, it must be the whole thing, or they will spit it out. Where they congregate, they make a mess. Just look at the pilings they sit on. They are a beautiful bird though, especially in flight.

I went with Chris to Foley today to see the new thrift store that opened. I love that Chris enjoys thrifting, and he especially loves the books. I perused the clothing, not finding anything I really had to have. This store is new and particularly crowded, so we decided on going to lunch instead of shopping. I went to Hobby Lobby to get double sided blanket binding for my octopus themed pants. 

We came home and I went to the studio. I managed to add the border to my octopus print pants, put Velcro on the curtains, and hem a pair of shorts for Chris. I also finished the painting for today. It was then I realized I had forgotten to get something else I needed from Hobby Lobby. We had a dinner get together at 6:30 so we left early for me to go back to the store to get paper rolls to lay out the queen's train for Mardi Gras. I ended up buying three rolls because they were reasonable and I don't want to have to try and get more later. I will tape it all together to get a sense of the scale of the elements of the train and sketch it all out. 10 feet wide and 15 feet long is going to be one rather large piece of paper!

We finished dinner and here we are back home after driving through a heavy rainstorm in Daphne. It was not even raining in Fairhope when we arrived home. Unloaded the car and here I am posting for today.

A busy, not so busy day. Another day closer to the Annual National Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Twelve more days until set up. I'm in full blown show mode now! Making lists, checking them off and starting to pack clothes, items for the camper, artworks, and equipment. This will be my 16th year of the festival!

Great blues, a map, an ice cream, and an astronaut!

Two great blues today!

I didn't post yesterday because I was just tired and went to bed.

The day started at 3 am when one of the dogs woke up everyone in the house.

Once awake, I usually cannot go back to sleep, so it threw my whole day off.

I was just worn out all day and couldn't catch up, even with a nap!

Anyway, it was a long day made even longer by Art Walk in downtown Friday night.

I stood by my space and talked for two hours straight to people looking at my work in its new space.

It was fun, but so tiring.

It's like when I'm at a show, the show must go on, but I may have had a bad night.

We go out to the show, and I smile and chat like I'm fresh as a daisy.

This is sometimes with a heat index of 122 degrees and the sweat running down my back to the point I wonder if my pants will look like I've had an accident in them.

Or the extreme other direction, bitter cold.

I was shivering so bad one show that one of my collectors bought me a hot coffee to warm up.

Be kind to us out at the shows please.

Not necessarily with a hot or cold drink but understand we may have a bad night the night before.

Both these beautiful birds are at the Hello Gallery in downtown Fairhope.

18 S. Section St.

Unfortunately, I have not been a good Yaya.

Each year I want to do a painting on the grandchildren's birthdays.

The ice cream is from Dahlias third birthday, painted today.

She got a unicorn this year!

This is Neels fourth birthday painting.

He had a fascination with maps at the time.

Come to think of it, he still collects maps when he goes anywhere!

This is his seventh birthday painting.

I was just too tired yesterday to complete it on his birthday!

He is so smart and can tell you so much about the planets, rockets and space!

So much for today. 

Tomorrow, I work on Neel's sixth birthday painting.

A Lego octopus!

Great Blue I

I am really bummed that Hobby Lobby won't be selling these rounds anymore.

They have been a staple in my shows for several years now.

I thank God for a husband that can actually make these now using his router and 3/4-inch plywood.

Maybe not as inexpensive as the Hobby Lobby pieces but cost effective, nevertheless.

This one is another of my revisits to a sepia that did not sell.

I love the beauty of color added to the sepias.

Today was interesting to say the least.

I managed to paint in the morning after my Bible study and messages sent.

Chris was up at the church working while I was in the studio.

I had an appointment for our 17-year-old mama dachshund at 3pm.

Chris came home; we went to lunch and grabbed a quick nap before the afternoon tasks.

Never underestimate a quick nap!

I had talked to Chris about taking mama dog to the vet for her yearly exam 

I also wanted the vet to look at a sore on her side that was a small cut. 

Much to my alarm when I checked on her, the cut had opened to the size of a nickel.

I called the vet, and they said to bring her right away.

He was concerned too and took a slide and pressed it against the wound.

He also found a small tumor under her foot which was causing her to limp.

She's been limping, but we checked and nothing was apparent.

We thought maybe she had pulled something.

The slide showed a lot of white cells in the wound when stained.

Doctor prescribed antibiotics and a spray to treat the two spots.

Cone of shame too!

Fortunately, we have a blow-up collar which should keep her from licking the areas.

Separating her from the puppies in the kennel.

She's not going to be happy at all.

We're giving it a few days to check again.

She has an appointment on Tuesday at 8am.

Possible surgery to remove both areas.

Praying it just goes away and it's not cancer.

After we got home and her settled in, I went to the gallery to rehang my wall.

Much to my surprise, my space has moved to the back wall behind the check-out area.

A very nice space indeed!

The rehang, checking in, and marking all ten pieces I brought in took almost an hour and a half.

I did take 6 of the new dimensional works to the gallery as well.

I have enough to spare from the shows and am looking forward to Artwalk.

Which by the way, is tomorrow night!

A pelican parley

Oh my!

These guys were so fun to paint!

Well, I guess they're all fun to paint for me.

The hardest part of these paintings is finding a way to make the upper wood piece fit on top 

and actually, make sense.

There is an incredible amount of wood pieces going into them.

This one however, was from a scrap of wood from another piece.

Waste not, want not.

I thought I needed to buy more wood to use, 

but I think I'll be okay as far as the upper parts are concerned.

I'm still trying to find a source of the 20- and 24-inch rounds though.

This makes me nervous as I really want the big ones as well.

I have two 24s already and are working on the designs for them.

I also worked on the VBS today for a bit. 

I painted the brackets for the torches on the gates both for the front and stage.

We also picked up more masking tape, screws, and found a gallon of Dark blue paint to mix and make sky blue for the flats behind the dinosaurs.

The sets will be amazing for the kids.

Hopefully their imaginations will be set on fire for the majesty that is the creations of God.

Very hot, very busy, very close to completion for the church at least.

Each day is a day closer to the Annual National Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama in October.

Pelican parley

I love painting these guys.

They are so incredibly interesting to create.

So much to do, so little time left before the big show starts next week.

The 50th National Shrimp Festival in Gulf shores, Alabama.

I have all the paintings done to fill the double booth and am now working ahead.

I am really excited to see how the booth looks with it going from sepia to full color in one space.

Tonight was Artwalk in Fairhope.

I was painting live while it was going on from 5:30-8:00 pm.

I actually worked on two miniature paintings for the sewing machine drawers.

They make a really great presentation for the paintings, giving them the shadowbox effect.

Two whales done, lots of people chatting about my works.

Hopefully conversations lead to sales.

I also spent time setting up the rest of the sewing drawer paintings.

So, I know what to paint.

I have the patterns ready to transfer and then just create!

Our pelicans here are an incredible work of God.

To see such a gawky bird fly so gracefully is beautiful.

They dive so hard, going after fish.

It's a wonder they don't die with how hard they hit the water.

You always know when the fish are in the bay, because there will be pelicans sitting on the water.

They're sitting because they can't fly because they're so full of fish!

Great Blue too!

Great Blue too! 

I say this because this is a "mate" to the other one that was already done.

I picked up another Great Blue Heron from the gallery this week.

Frequently, but not always folks want a left and a right of a particular creature.

So, here he is, ready for the show!

I am moving along now with the paintings completed, today is number 62.

I am behind because of our mission to Africa this summer.

38 more paintings to go!

I will not have the 100 finished by the Shrimp Festival.

I am however, going to continue to post and complete the 100 days.

When finished, I will draw for the winner of the painting valued at $295.00.

This will most likely coincide with the Peter Anderson show in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.

First weekend in November will be the drawing.

I pray everyone understands.....

This is number 3 of the "happy accident" canvases.

Once I set them up, it's fun to paint them.

The set up is the hard part.

Getting in a groove now towards shows.

I have figured out the set up for the 2 new 15 x 30s and the 30 x 30.

Caretta carettas , they will be awesome!

Today has been a good day in the studio.

Day 39 of the 100 days~100 paintings 2023

 

Two herons for two days

 

Today begins the 100 days~100 paintings for 2023.

Needless to say I am a bit tardy in getting started this year.

I normally start the 100 days early in the month of July.

While I should be on day 28 already.

I will be trying to get two paintings done per day to catch up.

We were in Africa and I was a little busy on our mission.

I also came home to a large build for Vacation Bible School at my church.

We arrived a day late, and I jumped into the build for three straight days.

Tomorrow we take it all down and pack it up until next year.

I really enjoy the process, although it gets really hectic trying to get it all done.

This year was a beautiful success.

The 'leftovers' are also going to an elementary school!

I'm so excited to know that children will get to see the creatures we built with so many hours.

Anyway, here we go!

Two herons for two days.

Today we begin the 100 days~100 paintings for 2023

I am just fascinated with these birds.

They are definitely large and in charge.

Their wingspan and noise they make are enough to make anyone get nervous.

I have even had one fly straight at me, full on beak and feathers.

Needless to say, I ate the sand, rather than be impaled by that beak.

Now, that you've had that image in your head, imagine a bird that looks just like our heron.

The biggest difference between them is the coloration is browner than our blue grey birds.

They are also larger.

This is the Goliath heron in the wilds of Africa.

Having just come home in the last week from our mission in Zimbabwe, Africa is still on my mind.

The people are beautiful, their smiles are genuine, and their needs are great.

For example, just today I received a message from my African son, Crecious

 telling me that he was in line for water.

The reason for this line was because the water to the city was turned off.

Turned off for four days already.

Four days without water to drink, wash, or flush.

Turned off because the city is putting in new water lines to other towns.

So they shut off the water....

The electricity also gets turned off randomly at times.

We have it so easy here in the states....

So easy.

Praying for Zimbabwe

Days 1 & 2 of the 100 days~100 paintings 2023

 

Great Blue!

I don't think God created a bird with more attitude than a great blue heron.

They are fearless around fishermen, stealing fish off the hooks before the catch can be brought in.

They are protective of their territory.

Swooping down on anyone hapless enough to be in the way.

I've been a near victim of one once.

I apparently startled him while walking for turtle nests at dawn.

He flew straight at me.

Needless to say, I ducked and covered.

I didn't want the beak of that bird impaling me!

Loud, noisy, rude, and inconsiderate birds they are for sure!

But oh how beautiful!

The Sentinel II

Another day, another painting!

I have been able to breathe today.

Hurricane Ian seems to be headed in another direction.

Unfortunately, that means someone else is going to be hit.

That place seems to be one of the areas we go to do shows.

Also, one of my favorite places in the keys may be deluged again.

The Turtle Hospital in Marathon, Florida has been there for over 25 years and does marvelous rescues of all types of sea turtles.

They sustained pretty nasty amounts of damage the last time the keys were hit.

So many friends, and collectors down that way!

I am praying for all concerned in the path of this horrendous storm.

In fact, I am praying for all of Florida. and others impacted by this monster.

Meanwhile here, the weather has turned to a truly gorgeous fall.

For the first time in months, we've had the back door open all day.

The dachshunds love it, because they can run in and out at their pleasure.

I've pretty much packed the show for this weekend, but I may add one more piece to the mix.

Tomorrow is another day!

The Sentinel II, Acrylic on Shadowbox canvas, 12 x 36 inches

Day 92 of the 100 days~100 paintings 2022

 

The Sentinel

I just love painting birds.

They are such fun with all their feathers.

I enjoy adding texture to my paintings with lots of brush strokes.

I also typically pray while I paint, lifting others up with each stroke of the brush.

Today I am praying for those in the path of hurricane Ian.

The forecast keeps changing, and with it my nervous energy increases.

Nervous energy translates into more work done.

I have packed for the Freedom Festival show, with a few more pieces 

to be added as the week progresses.

I have also packed most of the steampunk for the National Shrimp Festival.

Ten days until the set up for that show!

Ten more days, we'll be camping, setting up, and getting ready for the biggest party on the coast.

Two booths, 6 walls to hang on, two completely different styles of art, 

prints and originals for one booth (steampunk), all originals for the other one (marine life sepias).

It's going to be a headache during set up, but hopefully we can do it without snapping at each other.

Powerade in the ice chest, snacks , and lots of love!

We also pick up the Audubon show on Tuesday the 4th in Mississippi at 2:30 pm 

after a reception for the Cruisin the Coast.

Wednesday the 5th is set up day for shrimp.

It's going to be an interesting week next week for sure!

Now, hurricane Ian just needs to fade away........

Prayers for Florida....

Herons around II

I'm taking a "Skip" day.

I painted all day today, my brain is on overload and I must calm down.

The euphoria from painting today was very real.

It wasn't while painting this heron though!

I am working on a very large project that is SO not my style.

It has me energized because the owners are delighted with my progress.

I am over the moon with joy!

Pelican IV

Day 50!

Can you believe it's already halfway through the 100 paintings for this year.

It has been a challenge for sure, trying to do commissions, get ready for a show, and paint every day!

Not to mention sewing too.

Mardi Gras in August, still can't wrap my head around that.

The queen's train is coming along nicely.

Pelicans are one of my favorite birds.

They have the absolute neatest flight pattern when fishing.

When they see a fish, they dive to the left.

This is to protect their esophagus and prevent water from going into their lungs.

I am fascinated by this, because it is a built into their nature.

They automatically dive to the left every time.

God is such a masterful designer!

They are also some of the gangliest looking birds I've ever seen.

They don't walk very well, but boy how they can fly.

I love they've made such a great comeback from the results of DDT on their eggs.

When I first moved back here from California in 1976, 

it was a rare sight to see more than one at a time.

Now, it is common to see flight formations of 25 or more birds gliding along.

Such a beautiful sight in our southern skies!

Pelican III

The Raccoon Retreat Studio is a hum of activity as of late.

I am painting and also working with my daughter on a Mardi Gras train for next year.

It's hard to wrap my head around Mardi Gras right now as it seems so far away.

Pushing to get things done.

I've already used over 1,000 yards of thread making appliques so far.

The appliques are a large part of the train with two of them measuring 

3 feet and the other two measuring 3.5 feet!

Lots of sewing, trimming, then having to clean my studio from the fabric remnants.

Such is the life of an artist, especially one who sews.

But, before anyone asks I don't sew professionally any more.

Too many headaches and time I really don't have right now!

Somewhere in there, I painted too!

Loving these rounds!

Pelican II

What an amazing day to day was for me!

I started out by doing my Bible readings.

Then we went to church.

I came home then went to My Daughter in loves house in Mobile for a tea party.

It was a very well-done party and they had so much food.

They even had gentlemen to serve tea and other beverages.

So fun!

I drove back home to spend time with Chris.

We had a late lunch together and then we both took a nap.

Chris's nap was much longer than mine of course!

The late afternoon was spent working on a project for and with my daughter.

We are making a train for a Mardi Gras organization.

It's going to be an incredible work of art, as well as a lovely train fit for a queen!

Somewhere in the middle of creating, I finished a painting too!

Such a fun one to do!

I love the smaller rounds.

Day 48 of the 100 days~100 paintings 2022

 

Bad Hair Day (Heron II)

Bad Hair Day.

We all have them, bad hair days.

These magnificent birds with their flowing feathers can really have a bad hair day.

I love it though, when they dry their feathers.

They get in the weirdest position, with their wings flipped forward as if in supplication to the sun.

Actually, they are drying their wings for the next flight into the blue.

I love watching these beautiful birds.

The Audubon show is already having sales!

I received a text today letting me know Bring home dinner (Heron pair with babies)

is already sold!

They also bought two turtle rounds apparently.

Last year's show was a hit, and it looks like this year may be as well.

I'd better get painting!

The Mobile History Museum had the opening tonight of the 30 by ten show.

I was fortunate to become a part of this show back in 2002.

It was originally a part of the new building owned by the Mobile Press Register.

Each floor had a century represented, 1700's, 1800's, and 1900's.

I have three paintings in the accession, Annual Indian Congress, Naval Stores and tar and pitch production, and the Opening of the Cochran Bridge.

I feel extremely humbled to be a part of their collection!

 

Heron I

Today was a busy day.

I started with my bible readings and journal.

Dentist appointment at 8 am.

Came home, painted a bit then Chiropractor appointment.

Straight to church, to dismantle VBS.

Decorations always come down faster than they go up!

We salvaged lumber from the flats, and tossed cardboard that served us well for two years.

We then went to lunch at the pier.

I love painting birds, I've discovered.

Heron I is one of them.

Because of the Audubon show, I have had several birds leave the studio this month.

We watched a Heron today while eating lunch at the Orange Street pier.

While he was entertaining, the dolphins were more fun to watch.

The dolphin pod was chasing mullet up the bay, leaping out of the water in their haste to catch lunch.

We were sitting quietly observing the pelican sitting on the piling.

The heron decided that was his piling, and swooped toward the pelican, cackling as he flew in.

The pelican decided that he did not want to deal with that beak and left his perch.

Such is life here on the bay, summer winding down, herons defending their territory, pelicans diving to capture the next meal, dolphins playing with their food while eating.

I love it here!
