Mike & Me #5


Okay, so I love Mike's (what's new) but just to warn you again...he painted on a recycled tile that is not square.  I've since sent him some masonite 6x6s, hope that doesn't take away from the character of the pieces he creates.  And *Doh* I painted on a 5x5 by acckident. 


#5 in the Mike & Me Challenge...if you want to see them all search using the term mike.  Mike's is on the left, mine on the right.

Mike uses acrylics, I use oils.  
BOTH SOLD

Doll VII



Today

Well, it's been a crazy weekend for us, my son broke his clavicle and AC joint.  DR said it's so rare he's never seen this combined type of injury let alone on a still growing body.  (son is almost 16).  So, surgery is Thursday next week and it's all kept me so busy...but DR says he can go back to school the following week!  Hmpf, modern science...

The pieces going in the mail today!  Thanks to everyone...sorry for the delay in sending...

Mike & Me #4

Yep, #4 in the Mike & Me Challenge...if you want to see them all search using the term mike.
This is Mike's pick, a photo of his friend Tom.  I made a boo boo and painted it 5x5 instead of 6x6!


I think mine may look a little like John Lennon?  Mike wins this one hands down.  Mike is mentioned first in "Mike & Me", so he's posted on the left.  Sunny's on the right...  The photo:


#4 in the challenge between mike and me.  You are buying only one, one is 6x6", the other 5"x5" works of art.  Remember, Mike's may not be square, they are recycled!  Please indicate which you are buying at paypal notes.

Happy Valentine's Day!


SOLD
My daughter and I went to Harold's restaurant this weekend in NJ...if you know anything about them, you know their sandwiches are about $50 per.  No typo.  And they look like this:


We did not order them...and I digress.  This post is about the cookie.  The linzer tart cookie to be exact.  Exactly delicious and I ate the whole thing by myself.  If it wasn't a 2.5 hour drive...I'd eat one daily.  Thank goodness for the 2.5 hour drive. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Wooden Doll VI

SOLD
Why oh why is it so hard to photograph art?  I'm going to take some recent advice and post it...and get back to the paintbrush instead of the computer.  :)

Mike & Me, #3


Yep, #3 in the Mike & Me Challenge...if you want to see them all search using the term mike.
BUY Mike's (left) --- SOLD
"Here's the story behind that photo which you may find interesting. (says Mike) The last time the cicadas came out of hibernation down your way (2004?) my cousin Paul (from Virginia) sent a posed photo of a cicada leaning on a little toy car with the caption; "This is how big the bugs are down here." I doctored up the pic and returned it (as you see it in the photo below) with the notation; "This how deep the snow is up here."

Froggybottom


This is a ceramic frog meant to hang on the side of a plant's pot.  My daughter set this one up and walked away.  I thought it was funny.

Mike & Me, #2

#2 in the who-know-when-the-next-one-will-be running challenge.

This is how it works:  I choose a photo to work from, then Mike chooses.  That's Mike for ya...blissfully unaware of my admiration for Diane Hoeptner's cats...he sent me this photo of his cat "West",  (Yes, West has a brother named "East")...and rules are rules.  Ug, I had to paint it!   I did not have an easy time, his cheek gave me trouble.  But rules are rules, we post anyway.  :)

BOTH SOLD
**Update** Mike says:  "Correction-East is West's sister, you'd know that if you ever saw her in fishnet stockings"
