Early Painting Barbara Gordon A long time friend (I won’t say old friend and neighbor) sent me a message recently about how much she enjoys a little painting that she has of mine. It’s one that I did not long after I started painting. Many of you know I didn’t start painting until I was 29. Barbara got this one before I moved from Kentucky where I was living when I discovered that I could paint. (Thanks Bob Ross!) It was a wonderful surprise to receive a message from Barbara saying that she still enjoys looking at this little piece every day. Thanks Barb for making my day.

Jump Down Turn Around….

Posted in daily painter, Travel, tagged Cotton, Cotton fields, Leadbelly, Pick a Bale of Cotton on November 13, 2017| 1 Comment »

“Jump down turn around pick a bale of cotton; Jump down turn around pick a bale a day.” Traveling along you never know what you will see that will make great paintings. Always snap a photo or two because you just don’t know when you’ll need it to use for a painting. On my trip home from Raleigh last weekend I saw many, many fields of cotton. I had to stop and get a photo of a few. (The lyrics above are from an old folk song that I kept singing while we driving back as we passed the fields. My traveling companions had never hear so here it is in an original version by Leadbelly….a great old folk song. Listen here. It’s only a few minutes…worth listening.)
