Off to a decent start to '08! One down and, I hope, lots of paintings to come!! This one was fun to do. The ribbon really was the attraction the day I took the photo. I loved the way the light just hit it here and there and made it shine and reflect on the mahogany surface. As I was painting the foreground I realized you can see the window panes making checkers on the surface. I hadn't really noticed it until I was working on it. The dish is one of my mother's ironstone that I inherited last year. I feel I will be working my way through quite a few of her pieces since they are lovely and I mean something to me.

Next Tuesday I have the privilege of having the local Art Guild meeting here at my studio for the first time. I told them I would be happy to do this if they would hire the maid service. Unfortunately that was not forthcoming, so you can imagine how much straightening up and cleaning I will be doing in prep for this. I am expected to give a presentation of sorts..so I will be working on that the next few days. Whoa....this ought to be interesting coming from a woman who speaks with paint brushes and never gives speeches. Hmmmmm...we'll see how this goes.
