Sands Through the Hourglass






Pressed for time these days, I just had to take a few minutes and post something on my blog.  It has been a long time since I have posted anything.  We have been beyond busy these days like most of you reading this entry.

Saturday we went to a local indoor flea market.  I was very happy to have found a small gold leaf frame to add to my collection.  I plan on painting a small landscape done in oil to fit the frame.  I am using cotton rag watercolor paper for this oil painting which is something different for me.  The diameter is only four inches and I have already gessoed the paper, using three layers.

I am looking forward to getting this painted.  I have a sketch already drawn for a painting of an old boarding house, it will be painted in watercolor.  Boarding houses have always fascianted me.

Yes, this is a short note for now.  Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
