OIL PAINTING!

One of the true love in my life is oil painting! I have been doing it for many years. I do not have time anymore since opening my childrens boutique.
I would love to just take a day off and paint all day. That is my true relaxation!
I just lose myself in a painting and can look up and the whole day be gone! It is wonderful!

Thanks Winter and Patricia,

This is the first time I have ever shared my oil painting! I am just afraid it is not good enough to publish.
Thanks for the encouragement! It means a lot to me!

Hello Karen, I finally found you, your iris painting is so gorgous! I have painted in acrylics for awhile and I too love to get lost in my painting and sewing. You have a lovely boutique, I checked out the pics and...there he is, your little Ryan. My Emma and Ryan sure look like they would make good playmates! My ebay seller id is coloristic, I forgot to mention. I just started last month selling my totes/bags. I have made them for myself, friends and family and everyone kept telling me I should sell them so we'll see how it goes. I have a beautiful niece that lives in Sugarland, I don't know how far that is from you, I have been to see her only once, she usually comes back here for visits. Well Miss Emma is getting inpatient with me, she's after the cupcake I promised her if she ate her carrots, and she did. Bye for now, chat soon. LOL sister PEP
