July 9 - this week I decided that I was only going to paint the designs I really liked (and thought that I could do well with). So you can call it a cheat, but I had a great time and it made me very happy! This little bluebird just stopped by to say "hello". I think I painted his wings too short and his tail too long. Oh well - artistic prerogative!

July12 - here is a fun fiesta! Let's hit the beach and party!

July 13 - I like painting fruit. I had a hard time with the shading on the strawberries. Getting a good color mix for the shading didn't turn out quite as I had hoped. I guess it doesn't make a difference being so small anyways.

July 16 - simple and straightforward. I likey!

July 17 - I'm gonna call this "Jazz Man Steamrolled". He looks and plays a bit "flat"! Okay sorry, bad joke!  LOL LOL LOL
