"Four Trees" -- this one is in
“Four Trees” is a painting I finished this morning, inspired by the stormy skies we’ve been having the last couple of days. I know that objects “should” be grouped in odd numbers, but I wanted to try an even numbered group, just because. It’s my painting and I can do what I want. Phhht.
“Red Yellow Blue” is a picture I did a while ago, but just recently sold (thank you, Jason T!), so it will shortly be out of the house. I always like to think of my paintings being out in the world, brightening someone else’s space.
For everyone who’s waiting for the Aquitaine sock pattern — I will work on it this afternoon (I’ve been busy with lots of non-knitting things lately, that’s my excuse for not having it done yet!) and should have it finished except for the photos, which are waiting on Frank, the house photographer, who has been downed by a nasty flu or something (no, we haven’t been to Mexico lately) and is draped over the sofa mostly sleeping and occasionally moaning a little. 
However, this is day three of the illness, so he should be perking up soon, right? After all, my model socks are waiting, eyeing me expectantly from beside the phone….
"Red Yellow Blue" -- this one is going out
Happy mother’s day to Mom, and Nellie, and all the other moms out there!

Love the dark cloud painting. Ver nice. You are a fast painter!
Beautiful. You are very talented.
I gave Mum your Happy Mother’s Day message. (Sorry it’s a little late!
) How come you have to use odd numbers of objects in paintings? I think your even number of trees look just lovely.
Oops…I forgot to add that Mum says thank you for the Mother’s Day message too!
And I hope Frank is feeling better…..Okay, I think I remember to say everything now, I think it’s safe to press “Post Comment”.
It’s one of the “rules” of composition to have an odd number of objects in a picture. It usually does look more balanced, somehow.
I guess because you have something in the middle to look at, and an even number on each side.
