Smith Rock watercolor

I painted this small watercolor (6x6) for the "gift basket" at the Farmer's and Artisan's Market.  The winner will get something from every vendor.  Smith Rock is a tourist attraction for hikers and climbers here in Terrebonne.

PPF Please remember that there will be two artists submitting paintings at this site almost every week!   You'll see the same header when you click on latane as when you click on mine!  Just scroll down....

Sunset at the Beach by Latane

I had not painted in several weeks... just first one thing and then another... but I sat down the other day and did this watercolor of 'Sunset at the Beach'. Linking with Paint Party Friday

please remember that there are usually two of us on Paint and Palette who submit two separate posts on Friday. Check to make sure you see both. Thanks.

Little Grey Bird by Marie

I did not go to the Market to sell things this last time (it meets twice a month) but will next time.  On the day I went when I had the wonderful sale of my oil of the cougar and cubs, a fellow vendor gave me a gift.  She had made coasters out of some of her photographs and gave me one of a small grey bird. "Here," she said, "Maybe this will give you some inspiration."  I decided to paint a picture of the bird and give it to her.  Here is the watercolor I did.  I'll have it matted and give it to her...will re-photograph it after the matting.  Joining in with Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday.

A finch by Latane

If I don't get busy painting I am going to run out of something to post about!! Lazy I guess. 

Here is an older watercolor. A finch I saw sitting on a branch. I love doing birds. Linking with Paint Party Friday. Thanks, girls, for having a great place for all of us to display our work.

Red, Ripe Cherries by Latane

Not much time to paint lately. Been on a long visit with my daughter in New York. But, I do have some paintings which you have not seen....

So here is one!!

A Sale! And 2 more postcards

The day at the Farmer's and Artisan's Market had lots of "lookers" and no buyers until an hour before closing when a woman suddenly declared she had to have my largest oil painting for her husband.  I was thrilled to make this first sale:

Though I didn't sell any of the postcards, I was encouraged to make two more this week, and plan to work on both watercolors and an oil in the coming weeks ahead.  Sharing with Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday.  The two newest cards:

Three Sisters mountains with local barns and red-tailed hawk
