Good Morning!

I went out painting yesterday as planned. I finished 2 small pieces. The one above and one on printer's paper which will appear soon on http://www.de-yong.com/.

It was a fabulous day to paint outdoors. A lot of sun and clouds moving around. The temperature was good and our location was very nice. It's wonderful when people allow their property to be invaded by painters for a day. We are a tidy bunch and we are quiet, too, but it's still a lot to ask of folks to allow us to ramble freely around their land and paint. I know I appreciate those who host our outings. Thanks!

Back here, I'm still working on the big still life and pushing forward on my other projects.

I plan to have some paint time today, but first, Winslow has a swimming lesson.

Speaking of Winslow, he is featuring magnets at his shop. Please check it out. http://www.winslowshop.com/.

Thanks.

Until tomorrow,

Glynis

Oil painting, "Crooked Window"

Good Morning!

I spent the entire week and weekend catching up on things from our vacation. I was only able to complete one painting. It's on my website: http://www.glynisberger.com/ The name of the new painting is "Down to the Lake".

The auction is still on, so you still have time to bid on either my painting, or Winslow's. Looks like he's making some money for the hounds! I'm so proud of him.

This painting is one that I did while in Montauk. The image was based upon the fantastic old windows in the Burwell Morgan Mill where I volunteered at a recent art show. The building was fabulous and I was able to take some photos .

During the art show at the Mill in October, my friend Becky and I will be painting on site. I'm sure it will be a lot of fun.

This painting "Crooked Window" is also featured on my website. Here's a purchase link.


Until tomorrow,
Glynis

Oil painting, Daffodils, Revisited

Good Morning!

Yes, you have seen this painting before. I donated it to the Greyhound Angel Network and it is being auctioned this week. GAN pays medical bills for greyhounds that cannot afford. Winslow and I believe in helping these causes. As you know, Winslow lost a leg to osteosarcoma last year. I hope you will bid on this painting or something else. It's a good cause.
(The auction is over and the Daffodils have a lovely new home!)
Winslow also paints. No, it's not a typo. He is the painting greyhound. He doesn't sell his paintings, but donates them to GAN. Last year, Winslow's paintings made over 1200. for Greyhound causes! We are very proud of his abilities and his charitable attitude! All of Winslow's paintings come with photographs of him painting that painting. You can see Winslow creating a painting AND bid on the painting during this auction:

For more information about Winslow, you can visit his diary:

When I checked the auction, Winslow's painting was far ahead of mine in bids. Go figure.
I'm done with the soapbox. Tomorrow, it's back to work.
Enjoy the auction!

Good Morning!

I'm back from a relaxing vacation! We went to Montauk, NY, Winslow's favorite place to go to the beach. He loves the cold weather, and we get a chance to relax, visit friends and spend a week just roaming around, reading, painting, riding horses and napping.

I was able to paint quite a bit and photograph a lot for future paintings.
I'll show some of those paintings in the near future. I have other news as well.
For now, I'm exhausted after a 7 hour ride, so here's a painting I did before I left last week.
Enjoy,
Until tomorrow,

Good Morning!

First, an apology for missing Monday morning. I took the weekend off to paint a larger painting and on the blog calendar it translated to Sunday and Monday. I'll know for next time.

If you would like to view my larger painting, it is available at http://www.de-yong.com/ The title is "Bitter Morning".

The small painting above is another in the Driveby Series. Many of my driveby paintings are (or will be) of the Middleburg, VA area. (I drive through that area weekly when I take Winslow for his swim. Now that he cannot run, he swims at the Animal Swim Center.) It's a beautiful country drive, no matter what season.

Enjoy,

Glynis
