Saturday Night, not lonely, very busy.

Hello, everybody!

Happy birthday to my son, Kenneth. He hit the big 37 today. We will celebrate tomorrow when we are all together. It has been a quick 37 years, seems like it was just yesterday.

This past week went very well. I finished my still life that I was painting with my mentor's critique on Thursday like we planned. I am very pleased with it. The oil painting is a 16" x 20" still life. It's name is "Sugar Rush". "Sugar Rush" went on sale this evening on ebay, listed under self representing artists, Carolyn Needleman.

Five other oil paintings went up in addition to "Sugar Rush". You will be able to view all if you go to EBay's web site.

I have been spending an hour a day working on graphite drawing studies, in addition to oil painting. I am pleased with my results so far. My drawing skills needed work, as I was getting "rusty."

Life is good, remember to count your blessing and see the beauty around you.

Carolyn
