11-6..FROM THE BOUNTY OF THE FREEZER

Tonight I will take advantage of the unused ravioli and sauce that has been waiting patiently for my attention for the past month. As much as I enjoy cooking there are times…like tonight…when I relish the notion of simply thawing out some Sunday sauce and cooking homemade ravioli from the freezer.



And speaking of barns...I knew it...there was one more Red Barn waiting for me. But this is it! Definitely the last of this series. You can take that to the bank.

ONE MORE RED BARN

I am sorely tempted to say this is it...the last in this mindless folly...red barn #7. However, I have learned something in all of my years, and that is...never say never. Therefore I will only say that I have no plans for anymore paintings in this series, leaving me open to the possibility that once more I will be overtaken with an all consuming urge to....well....you get the idea.

I've also added one more wc to my Tuscan portfolio...

RED BARN #6

I'm not making any promises, but this could be the last of the Red Barn series. If I can keep myself from thinking about it and move on to something else there won't be anymore Red Barns. How hard can it be to do that?

RED BARN #5


I thought I was done with this barn...but apparently not. Before I knew it was happening I found myself working on still one more version of the structure. If that is not scary enough, another image is already forming in my mind.

How many ways can I render the same red barn? I thought it would be fun to find out, and this resulted in the following 4 paintings...all about 8x10". Of course, like cooking pasta, there are infinite possibilities, and these paintings barely scratch the surface. I'm not sure how many more...if any...I will do, but be assured that if I do they will be posted.
