Well, this is the last one of these for a while.  I could have done more on this one - but I didn't feel like it.  Whoever thought that I would try to paint a cow - small as it is!  It exhausted me!  I can't go on on this one.  However . . .I did want to dedicate this painting to that fabulous artist Bonnie!

Here I am again - trying to work on my 'at the museum' series.  Lately I think that I would define my paintings as 'that splash of color' on the wall.

coffee in the garden on a blue hat day . . .

you invited me for coffee . . .
you said you'd pour me a cup . . .
if I wore my blue hat
and bothered to show up . . .
I came at four in the morning
and you began to shout . . .
take this whole POT of coffee -
drink it and GET OUT!

'my' modigliana #2

So, as I was sitting in my blue chair looking at the paintings of Modigliani I thought 'wouldn't it be interesting to see her in an aqua t-shirt and polka dot skirt drinking a cup of coffee?' Huh?   This is 6x12 acrylic on canvas panel.

lavender days
of ultramarine blue . . .
lilac days
of green . . .
hopefilled days
of purple hue . . .

are red shoe days . . .

Gauguin and a red shoe day

at last . . .
it was a quiet day . . .
a day of painterly Gauguin scenes . . .
of cotton candy clouds and cerulean blue dreams . . .
indeed it was a red shoe day . . .

a red shoe day #1 . . .

'a red shoe day'

by myra anderson

it was a day of warm sun -
a reflective day . . .
a 'do your work first'
and 'then we play' day . . .
a drink your coffee
and comb your hair day . . .
indeed it was a red shoe day.

Thinking . . .

Well, I have been thinking about making some changes on this blog. I've removed some things and - - I will be changing more things around. This is 8x6 acrylic on watercolor board. I have never painted with acrylic and I thought that I would give that a try as well . . .
