Another Painting of Lemons and "Barn Dance"

"Barn Dance" found a new owner.

Sunday at the Holiday Art Show and Sale, "Barn Dance" got a new owner. There's a bit of a twang for me and I imagine, quite a lot of collectors out there. There is something intriguing about that painting and I hear the ruckus in the barn just looking at it.

Just one more reason to bring my easel out to the farm as soon as I can.

Today, I had a short time to paint ... so chose a small new one: "Lemon Spiral." I didn't cut the perfect peel, but hopefully you get the picture. With so many of the Beanie Baby Series gone, I wanted a few more little ones to fill in the "holes in my cupboard." "Lemon Spiral" is a good partner to "Orange Chunks." It's not the greatest photo ... Sorry about that!
