This is hanging on my living room wall – hence – “On the wall.”  These sketches, leftover from various paintings were stored under my bed and I was going to throw them away, then I thought why not put them in that clip-on frame from Ikea, and see how they look altogether.  I liked  it so I hung them on the wall.  I get great comments from visitors when they see these simple sketches — so I’m going to leave them hanging for awhile.  (had to take this photo at an angle because of the light bouncing off the glass – that’s why its at such an odd angle.)

My daughter is due to arrive today so I probably won’t have much to show for the next few weeks – hope all is well with everyone out there!

I have started working on this again this week .  Its been sitting around for about a year, I think, maybe a little less – I am supposed to be cleaning house for the pending visit of my daughter and her adorable baby boy.  But when I got up today I just thought I needed to work on this instead.  The color is off in the photo – the moon is a very pale yellow -y white, and the spots are pale to medium gray.  I do not know why the camera saw it has a dark golden greenish mess?  It doesn’t matter – taking photos at night is always risky business.  I know I won’t be doing much painting for the next 3 or 4 weeks because of daughter being here, and probably the motivation to begin painting today when I should have been cleaning up so everything is spotless for the baby.  This is a large canvas, and as usual, not as well thought out as it should have been – I tend to jump in without a lot of fore thought, then I try to make it work…. seems like I do that with a lot of things; art, creating, cooking, cleaning, relationships…..hmmmm.
