I took several shot of hanging laundry and did this painting at group yesterday. I have done several paintings like this in the past and for some reason I really enjoy it. I hope you do.

Purchase Here $55 + shipping I love the unique shapes of barns, especially old ones, and there are lots of them in western North Carolina. My husband was nice enough to drive me around the outskirts of Waynesville, NC , stopping so I could jump out and take photos of the interesting barns we would find. When I returned home to Florida, I had enough barn photos to keep me busy through out the winter. This one is painted primarily with a palette knife. It has always been a favorite because of the strong values. Originally listed at $95.95, it is already a bargin at $65.00. But this is Wild and Wacky Wednesday, so if you purchase this painting today I WILL SEND YOU A $10.00 REFUND! Offer good only until midnight Aug. 27, 2013.

For some reason I have always loved chairs....I think it's because they remind me of people! Each one seems to have its own personality. And whether it is all wood, metal, upholstered or a mix, I think they each have a character and style all their own. Some are comfy for relaxing, some are for sitting up straight, some help you work and others rock the baby to sleep. I know that at any given time I have a wide variety of chairs and I can't seem to stop collecting them! So I was thrilled when the Pieces decided that our bonus art this season would be to offer upcycled birdhouses, boxes, frames, plant stands and....chairs! We are having a great time playing around with paint that is not put on a canvas.... using color in unexpected places and creating some one of a kind pieces you are going to want to own. Here's my most recent rehab project: A sturdy oak chair that was probably in a classroom, it still had "good bones" despite a poor coat of white paint. I sanded, taped, got out some chalk paint and went to town with some favorite colors. At one point I thought of adding more (and more and more) but the word "enough" came to me and I decided to stop. I christened the chair and then waxed it and buffed it to a soft shine. There are a lot of ways the word can mean something...it happens to be the theme of a great book I am reading by Brene Brown. But it may mean something altogether different for you. If I can part with this child, I mean chair, it will be in our annual holiday sale the first Saturday in December. Stay tuned for more I formation! by Cindy Michaud
I had not painted outside in two years, so this was quite a challenge. It was one of those paintings I had to improve upon in the studio. ...
