Peony Festival, Baldwinsville New York

Old Timers 8" x 8" oil

Today I went with a group to the Peony Festival to paint for a few hours. I was the only one using oils. Everyone else was working in watercolor. The event was arranged by Sharon Blair who works and teaches classes for The Art Store in Syracuse. The peonies are heirloom varieties sold to benefit the local historical museum. the were vendors selling plants, herbs, artwork, food and a musician singing and playing the guitar. Nice event.

Tea with Lemon

Well today is the first posting to my daily painting blog. I am excited to begin this adventure. I painted my mother's little blue tea pot. I am still having trouble getting the shape just right but will try again tomorrow.
