It is cotton harvest time on the ranch, and I couldn't resist picking a few bolls for painting.

I had such fun painting this morning.  My little office/study truly is my “happy” place.  Now, I am off to winterize our yard.  It is a gorgeous day, and I want to get out and enjoy the sunshine.

Happy Saturday!

The past few months, I have been posting a few process shots (see below) of my paintings on Instagram. It is fun to get feedback from the creative community there, and it is even more fun to see all of the wonderful artwork that is posted.  If you are using Instagram, I would love to follow you.  And if you would like to follow my posts, my ID is d_mcdowell.

I hope you have a great weekend!

Another really fun challenge from the Daily Paintworks site.  Carol Marine listed a photo of a young girl with a very busy background.  She said to do what we would with the photo in making our own background.  I don't know why, but I immediately thought of the young girl leaving Tiffany's with her bag filled with and her body covered in diamonds.  My Blog
