Daily Paintings of Late

My goal is to finish
a painting a day. 

I'm not always successful
with that goal, but I have
been successful in pressing
forward whether I reach it or not. 

This fact is a win for
me on it's own. 

Here are some
of my most recent
accomplishments. 

I'll keep my words
to a minimum in this post.











Thank you for visiting
and touching base.

I hope you have a fabulous week!

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall. . .

One of my neighbors kindly gave me
a big mirror a couple of months ago. 

It's 38" x 32". 

Another neighbor that knows about the mirror
keeps asking me if I've done anything
with it yet. 

Well, it's finally time to call her over
to see the mirror. 

I should say, the frame of the mirror. 

I'll let my husband get the mirror
part securely back in the frame. 

The frame was initially a brown
mottled paint and it was primed
in white to start the process. 


These first few pictures were taken at sunrise.

That's why they're a little dark. 

Next, I drew out my design and made
patterns for wood pieces that my husband
gladly cut out for me on the scroll saw. 


I placed the pieces where I wanted them
just to check my design, before
they were adhered to the frame. 


Voila! The finished piece. 

It's much more bright
and cheerful now. 



Thank you for stopping by.

Hoping you have a wonderfully
creative week!
