Do you know what today is? . . .  It's our anniversary! (In my "Tony Toni Tone" voice). Yep, Today my husband and I celebrate seven years of marriage! I'm an extremely blessed woman! I love my husband so much, and I thank God for not only placing him in my life as a friend, but also my soul mate. It feels so good to be loved so much by someone who already knows all of your flaws. I have nothing to hide with him and he takes me as is. I never have to pretend to be anyone else with him. He takes me just the way I am. Such a blessing! That's the way true love should be!

Anyway, we plan to spend the day celebrating. I don't know what we will do, or where we will go, but whatever we do or wherever we go, I'm sure it will be fun. Maybe dinner and a movie? It doesn't matter. As long as I do it with him I am one happy woman! :)

My mom will be watching the girls for us tonight while we go out and celebrate. Thank you mom! Love you so much!

Anyway, I really like this little painting a lot. Love the blues, whites, yellows, and greens, and hope that you love them too!

Well folks, that's all for now! Take care fellow art lovers, and have a fantastic day!

I'm posting this one, like yesterday, more later in the day than when I usually post. I've really had to push myself to paint today, as, as I said yesterday, I've been a little sick. I'm feeling somewhat better, though, and think that I should be fine by tomorrow. Unfortunately, however, while I was trying to recover from my cold, I got my daughter Faith sick, as she caught my cold too. I'm not sure if she'll be well enough to go to school tomorrow, but I'm seeing her in better health today, than she had experienced yesterday.

Anyway, this is today's painting for day 14! Almost halfway there! Pheeeeeeew! It's been a lot of hard work, but I'm hanging in there! :)

Well, that's all for now from SamDoum Art! Take care and God bless! 'Til later fellow art lovers, !

Wow! It's amazing: Today completes the first week of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Painting Challenge. So far, I'm hanging in there and haven't missed a day! :)

The kids going back to school has really helped! I can get some painting time in when they are in school during the weekdays. And that has helped a lot!

But the girls like to paint too! Last night we were all up until 11:00 p.m. listening to music, dancing and painting in the basement of our new home! :)

They are really sweet, kind, smart, talented and beautiful girls and I feel so blessed to be their mommy! It truly is a blessing!

Anyway, that's all for now! 'Til later fellow art lovers! Take care and God bless!

Day 5 of 30 in 30 : "Silver Teapot, Pear, and Plum"

Today marks the fifth day of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Painting Challenge! And I am super pleased and excited to present to you my fifth oil painting for the challenge titled "Silver Teapot, Pear, and Plum"!

"Silver Teapot, Pear, and Plum" is the fifth oil painting still life in my "Metal and Glass" series. Over the next 25 days, all of the subject matters for my paintings will consist of either metal or glass or both.

What do I like most about this painting? Well, I think I like the black background most of all, as black backgrounds in paintings tend to make the painted images "pop" out into space, and also, help to create more depth in the painting. One thing I've learned from going to art school is that dark colors (like the black background) tend to recede. And the lighter, brighter colors (like the silver teapot, pear, and plum) tend to advance out into space. It's a cool painters trick when creating depth is desired.

Secondly, another thing that I like about this painting are the reflections on the silver teapot which are picked up from the plum and pear.

Anyway, I hope that you enjoy today's painting!

'Til later fellow art lovers! Take care and God bless!

Red Roses in a Silver Vase

Original Painting: "Red Roses in a Silver Vase":
 8"x10"- Oil on Canvas,  $75+$6.95 S&H USD

Hello everyone! Look what's drying on the easel ! ! !

I have my new painting which was inspired from last week's "What Should I Paint Wednesday" for you today! After the voting on Facebook, last week, this still life of red roses in a silver vase won out.

Love the softness of this piece which kind of reminds me of pastel -- But it isn't. This piece: "Red Roses in a Silver Vase" was painted in oil paint! Fooled ya, didn't I?

I thought I'd switch things up from my usual pastels and decided to do an oil painting today! A rarity from me!  :)

I hope you enjoy!

Oh  --  And P.S. Please don't forget to vote on Facebook tomorrow in order to vote on what gets painted next week!

Til later, fellow art lovers!
