The Joanal

The last of, but by no means least of the restaurant series of paintings is now completed. The Lignum Vitae, I must admit, was not as much fun for me to paint as the other 5 paintings in the series. I really struggled to achieve accuracy in hues for this one. Blending varying values of [...]

I’ve placed the last brush stroke and signed the Jamaican Sunset painting. It’s finished whether it wants to be finished or not. I think I’m content with the end results of this one as well. The size format was a bit ackward to work with but if you’d like to see the end results it’s [...]

Today I completed the second in the restaurant series paintings. I’m really happy with the results considering working in acrylics is not my forté. Enter the studio to see the end results.

Finally! My treadmill sold last night to a couple ladies from Panoka. Yipee!!! I’m very glad about that ’cause I didn’t want to have worry about storing it. Now on the the rest of packing and perhaps building up a trust and faith in my God.

Well, I’m trying to stay positive but I am a bit concerned that the ads that I’ve placed to sell my bigger items has garnered so few responses. I guess I should be grateful that I have at least gotten rid of the boxing training bag. Now if I can only get rid of the [...]
