It’s been a while since I’ve posted. My daughter was home from college for a month and then left the second week of June for Japan. She has been traveling throughout Japan and is now settling in Tokyo to start teaching. It’s sounds like she is have an amazing experience. Perhaps because she only has one more year of college I’ve gotten the urge to start to pare down. I’ve combed through and sold of a lot of items that belonged to my parent’s estate and also cleaned out years of our stuff that cluttered up the garage and the rest of the home. There is still more to do but it is off to a good start.
I’ve also been going through all my original paintings and making high resolution scans that will enable me to sell on online art sites. I came across a couple of pear paintings started years ago that didn’t quite work. I decided that reworking them would be a good project for me to get back to painting.
Pear and Lemon is a new completed painting of the first one. I added the lemon to the lone pear and changed the tablecloth and feel it looks better than it did and makes a nice addition to my pear series. Once all my paintings are scanned, I plan to start selling the originals also. One thing I’ve learned the past few months is that it’s good to let go of things to keep the energy flowing. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!
