In January I seemed to be on the go the whole time, with 3 exhibitions to paint for. And then on top of everything it's been so darned hot! It must be the hottest January we've had in years with temperatures in the mid-30's (C that is). The other day, I'm sure it topped 40! But it's cooling down a little now, so the energy levels start to rise again.
I did rather well at the last exhibition which was the South African Society of Artists Merit Exhibition which I qualified for last year. Sold a total of 5 paintings which was rather nice. Considering on the previous 2, I only sold one.
This is one that sold. It was done from a photo taken whilst plein air painting (or trying to) at the Waterfront in Cape Town centre. It's called Dry Dock.
I had a quick trip around all my blogging friends, but haven't left any messages. Will try and revisit in the next day or two. Thanks for putting up with my tardiness!

A BIG CONGRATULATION Liz.. 5 paintings sold. That is awesome. And this painting is lovely. It has a great mood. And that warm patch inside the cool painting works so well.
Now that is an achievement! Though I am not surprised, your paintings have such feeling. Love this one, it is stunning.
I have missed you, but I am so pleased your life is full to the brim!
Congratulations on all those sales, Liz!! I love this one too. Hoping the cooler weather stays with you for a bit too. We're heading into the warmer weather here very soon. Personally the one season I could gladly skip is summer. Not a heat/humidity fan at all! The only good of summer, to my mind, is baseball!
CONGRATULATIONS, Liz for selling 5 paintings..That's wonderful!! and so deserved. This last painting is so beautifully painted and another winner.!
What a wonderful start to the new year!
Congratulations Liz ,well deserved! I love the simple shapes that make a stunning piece here!

So hot in your country, so cold in mine !
wish you a nice day

I can see why it sold, it's lovely.
Congrats on the sales, love this one with such beautiful blues.
I love the subject - so Cape Town! - and the composition, the colours - in fact everything about this painting Liz, great to see you back and doing so well with exhibitions and sales. I'm not surprised either!
Love those blues with just a touch of red and yellow on the paint pot. A fresh and lively subject. What a great start to the year.
As for leaving comments, Liz, don't worry. It's a real issue for me. I love to see what below bloggers are doing, feel leaving just a global sort of word is not doing them justice and so tip-toe away. The peoblem is time. How do i paint AND blog?
So the only solution i can see is for everyone to hang loose. Write when you can, paint whenever moved to, visit blogs in between. If we all take the long view, over a period of months, we can see the consistent pattern of interest and engagement.
Yey, let's hear it for all bloggy friends and fellow artists.
Lovely painting Liz. You picked a great subject and nailed it. Love that yellow pail.
I don't know HOW I missed this one Liz...It is absolutely stunning! I was so mesmerized! Sorry for the tardy response, but worth it to tell you I LOVE IT!
Every time I see your newest work, it's better than the last!!!
Way to go, Liz!
