and you know who you are.
The friends who do not judge me.
Who although they know I am crazy and scatter brained and
suffer from a non professional diagnoses of ADD, wouldn't
ever criticize me to my face or on my blog.
wink wink wink
Those who will understand that I am in no ways
a professional painter.....hahaha....that's funny to even say!! Ha professional!!
They know that I am self taught....if you can even call it that!
So they will see the beauty in my efforts to put this on canvas!

This morning......
a little later....
(how do you like my easel? My other one broke and I had to get creative. This works beautifully)
the latest installment............
I just had to share it with you guys!
I am doing this in oils....and it's a good thing because of the extra long drying time.
I have suffered a mind boggling, body numbing, organ shutting down migraine today. It hit me like a meteor out of the sky and put me in the bed midstream around noon today.
I just knew that my life was to end right there in that bed with my oils dried to my hands and my hands were a beautiful smurf blue.
What do you think the autopsy would show??
Hypoxia just went to a new level!!!
I would have died happy anyway......I think painting is truly one of my very favorite things to do. It is above sewing and quilting....believe it or not?
Now that I lived thru that headache I just may be able to finish this up soon.
I know it's rough but it is a work in progress!!
Wish me luck!
Wish my husband luck on getting supper tonight!!!
Love to all,
Picasa Smurf

Girl you good! Could you do a portrait of Rondell in her House of Dereon fur coat?
Your sky looks perfect!
You are good! I'm impressed! Sorry about the migraine ... and glad you survived it! I can't wait to see the painting finished.
I love the start of your painting, can wait to see it finished.
Looking amazing! Can't wait to see it finished.
Sorry about your headache, hope you are feeling better.
I love to paint too but your talent is way beyond mine.
You are amazing! Wow! What talent God has bestowed upon you:))) It really is good Ms. Smurf! I would love to get a better look at that quilt behind the picture some time, too. Hope that migraine went away:))
Rondell....you have got to be kidding right? I can't paint!!!
hahahaha
Terri.....that old quilt is a real cheapy that I got years ago at Magic Mart for a steal. It is not a good quality at all. I finally made it into a cover drape for my wire shelving unit that is in my office...new use of the office yet again!! Multi purpose room I guess I should say!!!
Gail........you are so funny too!! I am a wannabe painter here!!
Thanks to all of you for the sweet comments!! You will never know how much it means to me!!
Yes I did survive that horrible headache and I hope to not have one like that again for a really really long time!! Thanks for caring bout me!!
Wow, the painting looks awesome so far. I can't wait to see it finished. Migraines are aweful. I'm glad yours is gone.
Blessings,

Looks very good! I think you get your painting talent from your youngest daughter. Was it as easy as Bob Ross makes it look?
That looks awesome! I wish I could do that!
That is gonna be beautiful - love it! I've always wanted to try my hand at painting. Someday. Hope you're feeling 100% by now. Those migraines are so debilitating. -Tammy
