Before You Write – Lou Belcher

I love these brushes. I received this set of flat brushes from Artify to try out.. They are super… I tried them this week with this flower sketch. Smooth… I used acrylic paint on canvas and just played around with abstract flowers. The brushes are great if you’re looking for flats… (sizes 1 through 8). They hold lots of paint, but they don’t plop it all down on your painting at once. And not one loose bristle on the entire painting. Easy clean up too.

I also have a new set of watercolor brushes… Beautiful. I’m very pleased with them also…

This is a work in progress, — started, but not finished.

So, that’s what’s happening over here with art…

In addition, I’ve been walking every morning at 6:30 AM… Wish I had started that earlier time sooner. Have seen some beautiful sunrises. It’s very hot and steamy, but they tell me that’s good for me. That might be a story, but I’ll stick with the walking.

Here’s Bugsy’s selfie for the Sunday Selfie Blog Hop put on by The Cat on My Head blog…

Have a great day…

that abstract painting is very relaxing… I had fun painting this abstract floral. … I so want a warehouse studio so I can sling paint and not worry about the mess.

We are wishing you an easy Sunday. We, of course, are participating in the. Sunday Selfie Blog hop put on by The Cat On My Head blog.

Here’s Knuckles again…

Have a great day!🐾

I hope you’re having a great day. We’re into that part of the summer where the day starts off warm but okay, then at 3 or 4pm we have huge torrential rains… steamy after. That’s what you get when you live in paradise…

Now, I’m doing my walk at 6:30 in the morning to beat the heat. And wow, the advantage is that I’m up and going so much earlier.

So, with all that extra time, the flowers above are what I produced this week. When I finished it, I turned around and realized this 6 x 6 painting could be the offspring of the painting I finished last week. HA!

Oh well… At least there is no doubt what my favorite colors are this week.

Just finished writing the blog for TheHelpfulBlogger.com for next week. Am starting a series of posts about superfood. If interested, stop on by.

Here’s our Sunday Selfie for this week. Bugsy is giving you a look at his profile today. We’re participating in the Sunday Selfie Blog Hop put in by The Cat On My Head blog. Join in if you want.

Have a great day!

This is my latest. It’s millions (almost) of layers of acrylic paint on an 18″ x 24″ gallery-wrapped canvas. This time I just kept painting layer after layer until I reached a point where I thought it was finished. I think I’ll do that with the next painting too… Not so much planning involved… Anyway…. Just have to wire the back and take it down to the gallery.

So, the heat has finally prompted me to move my daily walk to early morning. Today, I walked at 6:30am and enjoyed it much better.

So… The boys are always cool in the air conditioning. They are participating in the Sunday Selfie Blog Hop put on by The Cat on My Head blog by submitting a photo of Max… Join in…

Here’s a blast from the past. It’s Max, my wonderful cat from years ago, captured in the iconic photo … Meals On Wheels.

Have a great day!

hugs,

Bugsy, Knuckles and Lou.
