Crayons #3, Latest Still Life Piece for eBay

Here is my latest still life piece of artwork in pastels. I thought I'd do another Crayola Crayons piece, since the last one proved to be quite popular. You can look for this in my next batch of listings coming up in a couple of weeks.

As for my current listings, my artwork of Alexis Bledel has the highest bid ($56.00), but the artwork of Amanda Bynes has the most number of watchers (21). It will be interesting to see which one becomes the winner.

Batch of auction listings close this evening

The above image is a screen shot of my eBay auction selling page. These listings end later this evening. I’ve sorted them by price, with the the top ten showing. So far the painting of Jennifer Love Hewitt is in the lead; but as I have often discovered, that may very well change by the time all of the listings end.

I have a total of 18 pieces in this evening’s batch, and all but one have bids. The only piece without any bids is the pastel painting of Four Eggs in a Carton. That, too, may change.

Donut Painting done this afternoon

I bought some donuts today and decided to paint one. This one is entitled "Still Life #156: Raspberry Jelly Donut," size 12"x16". I will be listing this piece of artwork for sale on eBay in my next batch of paintings.

And yes, after I finished painting the donut, I ate it!

In the meantime, I am quite excited about the current batch which will end on Sunday, October 26.

Made Chicken Stew

Today I cooked myself some chicken stew, a recipe I originally got from Giada deLaurentiis. It has boneless skinless chicken breast meat, carrot, celery, onion, tomato, fresh basil, and seasonings. And I substituted chickpeas for kidney beans. Riding shotgun with that bad boy are some cheese bread french sticks from the local Stater Bros. Market.

The stew turned out well, but I imagine the leftovers for tomorrow will be even better.

A look outside my window today

I took this photo through my window because I noticed how clear this particular day is. The shot is looking north along San Mateo Drive in Loma Linda, towards the San Bernardino Mountains.

Time Magazine Cover Parody

I put this graphic together a couple of weeks ago. I’m posting it here for those who haven’t seen it. Yes, that’s Yours Truly at work on a pastel.
