<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
Be the first to see new paintings fresh off the easel by signing up for my <a href="https://barbaraandolsekfineart.com/follow/" target="_blank"><i>New Art Alerts</i></a> posted on my <i><a href="https://barbaraandolsekfineart.com/" target="_blank">website</a></i>.
You may also now<i> securely</i> purchase paintings there directly as well.<br />
<br />
I've noticed that lots of art blogs are going by the wayside due to visuals
like Instagram, etc. The <a href="https://barbaraandolsekfineart.com/follow/" target="_blank"><b><i>New Art Alerts</i></b></a> feature
on my website basically offers the same thing I'm doing with my blog which is
showing the latest new art as it's developed. Plus I'm not the greatest
wordsmith in the world preferring to use all my time on art so after a lot of
thought (and reading), I finally came to the conclusion to stop blogging.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
Thanks to all those who've been there from the beginning and thanks for
continuing on with me on this great art journey. My heartfelt appreciation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
As it quotes in the last line of one of my favorite poems, '<a href="http://mwkworks.com/desiderata.html" target="_blank">Desiderata</a>'
by Max Ehrmann, Strive to be happy.</span><br />

I could say that I don't know what it is about oil that has always had me so enamored, but I do and really the list would and could go on forever and ever... Great stuff!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This little gem would look great in a child's room. Ladybug's are just so cool right. Who doesn't love them... Even squeamish little girls aren't afraid of them, but let them crawl around without a second thought. </span></span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">They're like little jewels.</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> Plus they keep my roses looking really beautiful.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">However, I had to wonder why on earth I kept thinking that I 'had' to paint one. I keep seeing ladybugs everywhere. When on the beach with my honey, we saw a little boy flying a ladybug kite, I received some junk mail, yup ladybugs on it, etc etc. Whenever this happens, I don't fight it. I do believe that each painting has a person it's created for so I just go with it. I'm always glad I did.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So regarding flip flops, I literally wear them all year round, well sometimes I do need warm fuzzy slippers in our Cali winters, but most of the time these work. Have them on right now.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I also wanted to share a super great tool below for cleaning brushes. They're really for make-up brushes, but when I stumbled upon them I knew they'd be great for my oil brushes. I have at times (my bad) been guilty (cause in a hurry) of cleaning an oil brush with my cleaning liquid in the palm of my hand. Now I absolutely know NOT to do this, but we all get sloppy at times. So when I found this, I was like, oh yeah <i><u>I had to have it</u></i> (think TV commercial). Works really great! </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I put the link to Target below. They don't sell it in the store so I ordered online and picked it up. With that said, there are apparently lots of different models out there after a google search, but the options of different size nubs on this one as well as a better way to hold it, sold me on it. Hope everyone has an accomplished day today, ta!</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Every summer I was (past tense) making my own chocolate ice cream in my KitchenAid Mixer, my fav. I would have a cone every single night. I was hooked... bad. This piece of artwork is one of them.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">However, I finally realized I had to stop making it cause well, one, it has too much sugar to eat on a daily basis and two, it has too many calories.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So now, when I really really need chocolate ice cream, I get my fix either at Ventura Harbor or The Collection's Ben & Jerry's. B&J's has one called, 'Chocolate Therapy'. Yup that says it all! Happy yummy summer...</span></span></div>

don't have a boat, never have, but I love sailing, lolly-gagging,
dreaming, listening to water lap onto the sides, hanging over the edge
and watching the waves, etc. I really don't know of anyone that doesn't
like to be around boats, beached or otherwise. Having a thing for
water, beaches, boats brings life's stresses to a lovely standstill.
Deep sigh! So boats, yup love them. </span></span></span></span></div>

They remind me of Europe with their lovely windows adorned with boxes full of welcoming flowers. There are some very old ones here in Ventura Harbor. I couldn't believe how big they are with thick stalks. So if you're looking for a plant that can give you an easy time of it, this might be just the one. </span></span></span></span></div>
