Crab on the Levee Pincher's CherryRed (SOLD)

Well here it is! My 1400th painting and post. This last 100 paintings have been a lot longer in coming. I still paint as much, but I have become more of a perfectionist. I  admit that it takes lots of commitment to keep posting paintings. I sometimes feel guilty if I have not posted enough. At times, I paint failure after failure. I have had at least one success for every failure, and at least one failure per success. I do think that my blog (as a body of work and a diary of my life over the last 7 years) is a success. wow.....1400 paintings...I didn't really plan it to be like this.

oh.... please buy this crab painting.

Too sexy for my shell (SOLD)

Good news Me!

This is (by my specifications) my 1300th painting.

 It holds little weight as a number and does not seem as much of a milestone as I thought it might. Had you asked me in2007 about where I would be,  I would have thought a more serious and important place, doing better and more important things. Yet, Wow, This is my 1300th painting and post. I started to blog and show my  drawings in 2008.  I am convinced that anybody can do this. It just takes a willingness to keep drawing and painting and believing success and reward are a brush stroke away.

I painted another crab. This ain't no dog and pony show. As a sidebar, I used a photo of a bluecrab in the previous painting I did and stayed as faithful as I could to the photo, this one however, I just made up. I would not have guessed that the two would be quite so similar.
