What's Up?

 Song - Working for a Living by Huey Lewis And The News

My grandson Henry has been reading to his YaYa......

 

 

 

He has been helping me water my garden, especially the potted plants.....

 

 

and he has been painting all of our outdoor furniture too!

 

 

 

Before you think I am working him too hard.......

don't worry as he also gets to relax in the warm spa with his daddy Andy.

ME?

I decorated for Halloween.....

....and spent some much needed time in my studio to finish this painting of a white Dahlia....

Song - Working for a Living by Huey Lewis & The News

"Summer Dozers & Posers"

Ten years ago I painted this painting of my son Andy (far left)

and his friends - Jeff, Brett & Jordan working in our backyard for some spending money.

They were actually digging out the hillside above

the pool so we could add a hot tub spa.

But this painting turned out quite large - 5 feet wide.

What was I thinking?  How would I transport it to shows and events?

 I found a way....

"We can't hire out our own inner work,

but we can do the manual labor with delight and decency."
