Cardboard Paintings

I did these a long time ago---this is what happens when I happen to have my paints out and something to paint on.

I am quite partial to the tribal looking one on the bottom... I may have to try that on a larger scale... what do y'all think?

Anyhow--- it's Saturday and my Gators have won (again-hoorah) and so SMU Mustangs are tied 7-7 playing Navy at home.

I'm pulling for a win here...

What else have I done since getting home from a LONG day (teacher workshop 7am-4pm)--- sorted through canvas and labeled them for paintings that I must must must start.

GO GATORS!!

I've been meaning to paint Albert...the University of Florida mascot for some time now. I just think he is the cutest...(after Peruna, SMU's Mustang).

This is a sketch I did of Albert about 2 years ago. Honestly...isn't he cute?

Today---UF beat Tennessee and is 3-0...while UF was playing my beloved SMU Mustangs started their game...which they are currently winning.

So in honor of it being a good old fashioned college football Saturday .... I wanted to post my Albert.

"Fall" is officially here...

It all really started on Saturday when NCAA football season started (ok--I know it started earlier but SMU and UF did not play until Saturday...and Lee Corso did not put on a mascot until Saturday).
There are few things that I look forward to like I do the college football season. Oh...Hoorah!.... AND my schools WON!! YAY!!! GO PONIES!! GO GATORS!!! (don't hate...don't hate)

The other mark of fall...tonight was the first Junior League of Miami (JLM) General Membership Meeting (GMM). It was like the first day of school--seeing all my friends who have been away for the summer---or working really hard...the GMM's give me the opportunity to catch up with lots of great people.

Tonight at GMM was especially nice because I heard so many great things from my JLM friends who were able to make it on Friday and those who could not make it but have stopped by Books and Books ...and those who are going to make their way out.

This is what I am loving about the art being on display at Books and Books for the month...Books and Books is a wonderful local store and it is frequented by fantastic people...so I am glad that my pieces are bringing a smile...even a chuckle into the lives of those who walk past it.

So yet again...I thank you.

Fall is here...what better way to celebrate than with a fun piece of original art work, who's sale helps support a fine long lasting local institution as is, Books and Books.
