I ordered an easel a few weeks ago and when it arrived I was hesitant to assemble it. Luckily I live with an engineer, who offered to do it for me. During the process this is what I heard from the other room:

"this is the hardest thing I've ever done"

"if you can put this together you should get an honorary college degree"

"I need a bigger picture"

"I have extra pieces, why does it need springs?"

"this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen"

...that's why I didn't want to do it.

These are the only instructions it came with:

They make no sense at all. When I said I wanted to put them on my blog, Zach responded "your blog? or failblog?"

But in the end I have an easel, thanks love :)

The Baby Avocado - Still Life Oil Painting - 5x7

This was the tiniest avocado I have ever seen, it was so cute I just had to paint it. And I love the background color, teal blue and that particular shade of green is one of my favorite color combinations.

Lemon Love - Still life oil painting - 12x12

I wanted to give up on this painting so many times. But I fought through it, and five hours later I had this.

And tomorrow I get to participate in my first "First Friday Artwalk", here in Carpinteria. I'm very excited, and hoping more of my paintings dry by then so I can show them!

All In A Row - Pear Still Life Oil Painting - 12x12

I'm really happy with how this one turned out, I usually get frustrated when painting fabrics, but this one wasn't so bad. I'm not as happy with how the photo turned out, the bottom part of the painting isn't quite that dark.
