Day 85
Red Hots
Red and Orange and Yellow and Magenta. Hot Hot Hot, just like the 4th of July weekend in Minneapolis. My garden is blooming and is filled with all these colors. I painted a large version of this in January a couple of years ago and always wished I had did one thing different. Today I did.

Day 82
Honesty
Yesterday I painted for two hours and did not, I repeat, did not complete any single piece of art. That was my daily goal. At some point over the course of the year experiment I thought I might fail at that commitment and yesterday was it. And yet, at the end of this year I will have accrued well over 366 little pieces of art, because on many days I am able to paint 2 or 3 items. Today I painted this and the one I will put on the next post for "today". I thought about just posting this as yesterday's art, but I am choosing to be forthcoming with myself, personally I don't think anyone really cares if I painted this today or yesterday, but in my heart I would know and therefore I care. Thanks for listening.
About this painting, it is of my friend's dog Lulu. Her little love. She wears a bow in her hair almost everyday, unless it falls out. Like most dogs, and why we love them, she is a true and faithful companion.

Day 82
High Heels & Lemondrops
To my friend who chose high heels and lemondrops over cancer. Who chose to let love and joy define her life. Here's to you Loretta. Cheers! And here's to the rest of us that will will never forget her.
Day 81
Another Lemon to make Lemonade
I painted a lemon for my friend but it was microscopic and so I did another one a little larger, but just as yummy. And while I painted, I thought about her and her life, and how she just lost one of the loves of her life. She is sad, but she still sees the beauty and joy and hope life brings. I love her spirit. I love her joy. She truly is a lemonade maker and if she had a stand out in front of her house, I for one would stop and buy what she was selling.
