Panda's Jade & Ming

One of my very earliest paintings was of a panda.  It is hanging in my entrance hall now.  For some reason, I love to paint them and love to look at them.  Guess I didn't have to mention that, did I?

Tonight was Family Night here on Kings Road.  Mary Ellen and Ron came over and we had taco's then I gave the mandatory "Art Showing".  It had been two weeks since we had been together and I actually had 41 new canvas' to show off.  I was surprised, too!  Well, they found several more to add to their growing collection.  It is nice to have them like them enough to take a few.

I added one to my own collection.  Since February that I've been painting, I've only kept two now.  I think I've painted almost 150 so that is not bad.  I actually did a calculation and it turns out that at this rate I keep 1.3698630% of my work. (Yes, I am OCD & anal retentive - guess I didn't need to tell you that either, did I?)  Of course there are many I like well enough to keep but enough is enough.  I'd rather give them away and know someone is enjoying something I've painted.

You want one?  Ha! Ha!

It's been a long time

The write-up for this post was doomed from the beginning! At first I was just too tired to do it. I was falling asleep while I was awake and when I'd move to do the next task, I realized I'd just been asleep! Weird! Then, earlier tonight, I came in and edited it with a really really great write-up - and you can guess - I lost it! Must not have meant to be!
So, this is the 19th challenge of The Artist Challenge hosted by Vikki North, Beyond Boundaries. It was not an easy topic for me, I started with the very uninspired and progressed to some interesting ideas but I couldn't develop them. I couldn't really say how I ended up with this, but once I came upon it, I knew it was what I wanted.
I'm sorry I can not rewrite what was lost. I took it as a sign, it didn't need to be said!
