a studio tour missed, and one created
We missed doing the studio tour today because Dave went in to work, but we kept pretty busy here at the homestead trying to string lights up on a couple 15-20 ft blue spruce trees. Sam was a huge help. My stringing leaves much to be desired at the top of the tree, but I couldn’t reach even with a ladder and an 11 ft pole. After that fun, Ben insisted on chopping some wood. I actually tried the axe today, not just the mawl, and did pretty well. Then inside for lunch and a little of our own studio time – Sam drew a HUGE Merlin, and I did a few paintings. I made one of a hen that my friend loves very much for her Christmas present. A few samples below…I was wondering when my 2011 painting would emerge. I was a little cranky until I exorcised them!
Great work – love the colors! Hoping I get one or at least a copy of one. Keep up the good work!
Beautiful! And you’re right, I am a huge fan of your artwork! It is wonderful Allie! I love all the colors in Merlin and all the attitude! Margo is delightful as well. Thank you for sharing your latest inspiration! I wish I had your abilities!
It is so nice to have fans! You guys can see the sentiment in the painting, even if the painting is not so good. The watercolors had some weird colors to them – they are washable kids’ watercolors, and there was no black color, which i found interesting, but more vibrant purples and reds. Worked ok! Thank you!
Is there anything you can’t do? You are amazing! YOu are such an inspiration, I wish you lived closer. I love your energy! Merlin sure is a handsome rooster!
Love the chickens!
