Tonight I am posting a little early because my lovely husband is taking me out on a date! A much needed break for both of us. Toodles!

I found this cool vase at Anthropologie awhile back. What a find! I am thrilled to add it to my collection.

With all the new artists on Daily Paintworks, we've added some rockin' new search features. To try them out, go to the All Artists page and click "search art". You'll see you can search by artist, media, genre, color, size and of course keyword. Another great feature (I won't be humble - I thought of this one myself) is the favorites option. Just click on the little heart to the left of a name to add that artist to your own personal favorites list. Then click on favorites to view only those.

Also, check out this week's Challenge. It's upside down.

Clear Preference

As you can see the sunflower has a clear preference for the cup with dots, and the pig is a bit put out.

Thank you all so much for the encouragement about yesterday's glass! In fact, thank you all, in general, for ALL the support and encouragement you give me. Honestly, it has gotten me through the tough times when I forget how to paint, and the times when my creativity fails me and I have no new ideas. Your comments and support mean more to me than I can say and I am eternally grateful!!

I remember years ago being in a museum and seeing a Seargant painting for the first time. It was huge and hung above my head (why?) ... and the lowest thing I could see was a wine glass sitting on a low table. He had painted that glass with about 10, simple brush strokes. Maybe less. I turned to my husband (we had just met) and I said "I want to do that. I want to suggest things with paint." I feel I have really achieved that with this vase. It's really just a few simple strokes, strategically placed, but I think it reads like glass. Yes?

I went to town with these sunflowers, so expect a few more. They were easy to stay loose with, and they were such a big, fun shape to compose with. I really enjoyed them.

The cost is $9.95/mo. All members can list their paintings for sale with DPW Auctions, and anyone can bid on them.

I just have to say here that I have been quite jealous of this website for the past 8 months. Sometimes it seems my husband is married to it instead of me. He certainly has been paying it more attention. In fact from the moment he wakes up in the morning, to the wee hours at night, he is on his computer making this site perfect. It's all he ever talks about. And if it wasn't such a kick-a** site, I would have kicked him out long ago. Ok, not really. He's way too cute for that. But seriously, what a fantastic husband I have!
