THE TOOLS OF MY OBSESSION

6x6 Oil on Ampersand Gessobord

I've been in Birmingham, AL visiting family. My son, daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren live there. We had a wonderful time eating good food, playing games, and going to the movies.

I painted this last week with the misconception that this would be quick and easy. HA! Definitely not so, but I had fun painting it. I may try this again as I like the subject matter - art toys, what a surprise!

  1. Yes Linda, they make wonderful study! We deal with them everyday but forget that they are such wonderful subjects to play with. Lovely ones here,I liked the way you put shadows underneath and showed depth. Have a wonderful time with your family!
