I get a lot done when the weather is bad

For those who wanted see some of my latest paintings. My Granddaughter is setting me up a page on Facebook to sale some of my paintings

WOW! I have been in the studio for the past week working on paintings. I have a show coming up in the next month and I have had to build up my inventory. Almost finished off the pictures I brought back from Colorado. I will have to dig deep to find some. I wish the weather was where I could paint on site.
Been working on some frame ideas. Need old barn lumber. Been on the lookout for that. 
We have some snow coming up in the next day or two. I guess I will have plenty of time to paint some more...

Somewhere in Time

OK I have had it

No more listening to the news. I decided last night after I heard for the umteenth time that the President is a Nazi and a hateful bigot that it is time to exit the news and find some other way to find out what is going on in our country. Don't know what source that will be but it has to be better than the organizations we have reporting the world events now.
What happened to the Walter Cronkite's that reported the news and did not give you their opinion on what or why things were the way they were?
OK nuff said. I am proud of the President for putting me first for a change. Being a VET and being treated like I was not deserving of my benefits for so long...it is nice to have a president that cares about me and has done so much for me in the last two years. I really don't see a racist attitude in President Trump. But as politics goes that is the worst thing you can say about a person. If you want to end someones reputation just tag them as a racist and they are toast!
I love this country and I have respected all the presidents that have held the office since I have been alive. I might not have voted for them but they were my president and they got my respect. I might not have agreed with everything they did but I never disrespected them. 
I don't know what has happened to our country,,, I wish it would change...

Cleaning up before the temps fall

Love our patio

Underpinned and cleaned up

Really nice in the spring and fall. A little too cool now.

Yes they are saying we will see the temps plummet this week so I am jumping ahead and getting some things put away and cleaned up before that happens. 
I don't like cold weather and really don't like to work in it. Today is so so with the temps so I took advantage to clean up some areas around the cabin. 
I underpinned the other day and as I said earlier I straightened out the power pole and completed the fence. I know my neighbor is happy I got that side of the place finished. It was a real eyesore for some time but now it looks decent.
Still working on all my frames. I am just about out of old barn wood so I will have to hunt up some more. We have many old barns in this part of the country. I will have to take out on a mission to locate me one...

Storm blew through

My frame

Yesterday started off a little cool but warmed up to be beautiful. Sherri and I did our usual coffee morning and then split up to do our thing.
I have been working on some frame designs for my art. I have priced frames and they are way out of range on what I price my art at. I liked the design I came up with and it seems to sale good too.
I finished my fence and Sherri is working on some other projects for down the road. Until then I will continue to paint and make frames...
