well, i though last week would be the hottest week for a while..but no, another week of very hot temps.

i am getting ready to e-mail the painting group suggest that we not paint this friday, i would feel very bad if anyone fell out from the heat,

the top marsh painting was done about two years ago down in hyde co.

the home is the "blossem house" here in town, it used to be a b&b, now a private res. we have the OK to paint there if we ever get a break.

every time i see an old barn i always think there is an old car in there

and sometimes there is. what kind of car is it?? later.

i hope this is the last week of this terrible hot weather and we can get back out there and do some plein air painting.

this lady was crab fishing at havens garden with a string and a chicken neck. the painting of the three homes was done about three years ago they are in front of the n c esturium in washington n c ...bed time.

decided not to go out painting tomorrow, friday, i think it is going to be just to hot. this is the worst heat wave i can rember.

i really miss not being able to paint with you guys, i paint in the studio every day , but it is not the same. as you can tell from the photo, taken by terri, i really like what i do.

this past friday we went out to connie dunning's home on market st ext.

teri and myself were the only ones there, and that was due in part to my e-mail mailing not working...but it is repaired now..i hope.

it was a very good day, cool breeze nice shade, what could be better.

problems

i have had major e-mail problems today , it seams that i have to many

names on my mass mailing to my painting buddies and they say i am a spam problem so i have to get my computer guy to come over and talk to the computer so they can solve my problem.

a computer is like an ex-wife, some days are o'kay and somedays are

just from hell.....

tomorrow i go outside and paint and i just hope some of my freinds are there....if they read FACEBOOK. tomorrow is a brighter day...

painting purple

went over today to check out the new studio of pete, john, dodi, and lou,

my painting friends in greenville, what a great place...... they have running water, air conditioning and a nice bath room.....i am so envious.

they also have a big purple sign outside that says ART...........it would be so easy to add one more name on the end.....just kidding..they have a great place...go by and check it out, and get john to show you his camping van--nice.

went plein air painting with my buddies today in washington park and had a really good day ..what was really diferent.. none of the ladies showed up...four guys and no girls, i think that was first for me.

we miss the ladies..please come back!!!!!!

it is really good to get back in the studio and get some work done, myrtle beach is not my thing...these are a couple of the paintings i did this week.

the one with all the pirates is something i saw and i though it was neat.

have a couple of commision things that need doing,

will post them later.
