So, I've been playing in paint again....

I've actually been working on the Surgeon Fish. He's not even close to being done, but he looks a bit better than he has for the last few months of just sitting there by himself...:)

Since I haven't posted any art lately, I thought I would post this painting. I just went thru all of my older posts and somehow I NEVER posted this one. I don't know why. It's where the whole "Reef Dreamer" stuff comes from. That would be my dive gear, waiting for me to put it on and head to the reef!!!:)

I still have the Haitian Boy to finish, a small painting of a Hawksbill Turtle to finish for a wonderful friend. I have portraits to do of 4 children from Bonaire that are just gorgeous!! I promised their dad that I would do these portraits and send them to him. AND I WILL!!! I just need to get caught up on all the things I had started so long ago.

I am quite excited about my art that is at Donna & Giorgio's on Bonaire. Yesterday I got an email from Donna and one of my prints had sold!!!!!! THAT makes me HAPPY!!!!!!!!!:)

So, now to go work on something that needs to be finished.

Thanks to you all....

And of course my "On Painting" buddies that give me such encouragement!!!! Love yall!!:)

RULIAN.....

I'm on island, yet still painting!!!!!

Ok, so here I am on Bonaire, yet I still am painting!!! I did a wall for my friend, Debbie, that owns the condo were we are staying. There's another small wall around the corner of this one that I'm gonna put a palm and a flamingo on. I'll post that when I get it done, let us pray, tomorrow!!!!!!

Also, I have moved my art fom Chat N Browse to Donna & Giorgio's restaurant, here on the island!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She has a wonderful restaurant, we're George and I got engaged on my Birthday, Friday, and she has lots of local art there. She wanted my art there, so we dropped it off today!!!!!!!!! Very exciting!!!!

THANKS DONNA!!!!

OK, hugs to all!!!! Cya soon:)

From PegiSue, engaged on Bonaire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

We have FINALLY moved!!!! YAY!!!!

MY STUDIO

OUR NEW HOME

So, finally we have finished moving. Just in time too. We leave for Bonaire Wednesday morning at 4 am!!!! I am just so happy with this house. I can't wait to get all the boxes out of my studio so I can start painting again and finish up my "Haitian Kids" portraits. When we get back, that's the plan!!:)

So, to everyone, thanks for your patience if you are following this blog. And I'll be posting more art soon!!! Right now, the ocean is calling me!! I must go back to my island!!!!!:)

We move on FRIDAY!!!!!!!

We found this house, 4bdrms/3baths, and a GIHUGIC Sunroom that will be my studio. It's an old Victorian that used to be located at DeLeon Springs, then they moved it to where it is now. It was considered THE estate of DeLeon Springs for a long time. All the big parties were here!!
Well, it's ours now!!! and it's only 1 block from Mom!! See, everything does work out in the end!!! It's everything and MORE than what we wanted!!!

I'm so ready to just move and have that overwith...we leave for Bonaire in 9 days. So, we will get moved in and then go to the Caribbean for a week!!

IT'S ALL GOOD!!!!

On Moving...

OK, so we have this great idea...Mom is going to buy a smaller house for her to live in, 2 houses away from the home she lives in now. I am going to buy the current house from her. We will be close together, I can take care of her better...it's just all good!!! Until you get a bank involved!

Mom has now gone all out and is going for an Academy Award!! She has cried, she has yelled, she has gone for pity...all with the bank. I think they should be quite impressed with how she can make them feel like shit, because, well, they are!!

We have both been packing up our houses for 21 days. We are living out of boxes now. Which is probably better then living IN boxes. That could happen soon, if the BANK doesn't get with the program. I'm thinking a nice refridgerator box, under an overpass on I-4. We can add on as needed, find another big box, break out my trusty blue box cutter that I always carry in my purse, cut a new door in, use duct tape and attach them together. We can find lovely items in dumpsters to decorate. I saw some real nice, good, used shag carpet the other day!! For beds, I have a beautiful "Bratz" sleeping bag, and a "Princess" bag from Disney!! Ahhh, what I'm picturing is just a wonderful colorful new home!! Not to much to clean. I won't be needing my Kirby, I can just make people take their shoes off before entering my box! I usually do that anyway, shoes are a little too distracting and show that it's just a quicky visit!!!LOL

I'm going to miss my pool. BUT there are really nice retention ponds on I-4. I'm sure I can just walk down to one, set up my lawn chair, get some sun, maybe have a cooler of beer.... With the people that I have considered idiots w/ their stereos SO loud, Well, now I could learn to appreciate that...I'd have some music. If I put up signs saying "98.9" maybe everyone could get on the same station and I could hear a whole song, instead of bits and peices....I'm pondering this!!:)

Well, I'm off to locate my basil...seasonings are in a box here somewhere....

I won't be posting for a while...

Or drawing. Sorry. But I will be packing and moving in the next 19 days!!! Then we go to Bonaire in 33 days!!:)

I'll be moving to a much bigger house. Hopefully I can figure out where my studio will be. I think I know, but I'll have to see once we get everything moved. This is a very important move for me. I will be closer to my mom, so I can take care of her. And, God willing, this will be the last time I ever move again in my life!!!!!!!

If anything of interest comes up, I'll post. And if by some freak of nature, I actually have time to draw before I pack up my studio, I'll post.

Thanks,
Pegi
