My new web site is up!


I'm still tweeking it, but it's in good shape now. 
I've been posting daily to Daily Paintworks and my FB fan page, trying to pay attention to business.
I've also been painting every day and have a few paintings in process.  Now that I have the go-ahead for my Flower Show (solo art show) I have to get back to painting flowers.  Then there is all the stuff you have to do to make flyers, etc. 
Today I touched up three paintings I thought I had finished, the Sky Bar, the Chunky Candy Bar and the Garden Fairy.  The Sky Bar is up on my DPW Gallery Page and the first day of the aucton (today) it's priced at $25.

Chunky Candy Bar

Chunky Candy Bar, 6x6", oil on panel
Silver is a tricky thing to paint and the reflections on the writing of the word Chunky make it blurry and hard to see and I painted it the way I saw it, but wonder if you think I should make the name more legible.  I liked the cheery pink background against the silver. 
It is painted with regular paint, not silver paint.  BUT, it reminded me of another painting I did a while back using silver paint.  I got it out and repainted some of the items in the still-life and will post it tomorrow.  The silver paint catches the light in different ways depending on where you are standing or where the light is coming from.  I rather like the effect and should do some experiments with gold paint as well.
