Good morning!

and a crisp, sunny, lovely colored one it is! It's one of those days that almost makes me wish I painted landscapes:)

I brought a small bit of landscape in recently. There was a mum sitting in my backyard that was having lateness issues, wherein I knew it would not make it to completion. Yes, I am well aware that mums are some of the toughest little buggers out there, but I also remember driving in ugly snow exactly one year ago Friday, so there! I plopped the aforementioned mum into a pot and it came into the kitchen, where it proceeded to bloom with so much effort that I decided to paint it. So, 'Summer Leftovers", 40 x 20 inches, acrylic painting on canvas.

Have a lovely day! Cooper

Greetings!

Today's paint slinging episode:) resulted in the completion of the latest in the book reader series! 'Reading In A Red Dress' is an acrylic painting on a gallery wrapped canvas, measuring a lovely 20 x 24 inches.

Actually, the word completion puts me in the liar category---I have yet to give the painting it's protective varnish topcoat---eh, details. We'll get that done one of these days soon.

We will get this uploaded to my web site (paypal friendly) as well. Thanks for visiting!

Later, Cooper

Hello,

What a beautiful day, wow! The sun is shining, the leaves are just starting to color, AND not too many of them are laying on the sidewalk yet :) (otherwise known as a no-rake-necessary-day) We live on a street with way more than it's fair share of trees, so don't worry, our rakes will get a workout eventually.

Today's painting comes from a session with my painting friends at the Pearson Lakes Art Center. Most of the work on this one got done there, only a few finish-up details after I brought it home. We're going to call it 'Comfort Zone Sprawl'. It's an acrylic painting, 20 x 20 inches, on a gallery wrapped canvas. Thanks for looking!

daily paint, and bmx biking, September 15th, 2007

Hello everybody,

So we turned our furnace on this afternoon, feels like a pretty dumb thing to do on September 15th. I guess that's what happens when you live in the Iowa arctic belt.

We froze our derierres off at a bmx competition today, but when it's the first ever for the youngest born----so we were there. For you poor uneducated souls, bmx means biking. It was held at the Spirit Lake YMCA which has a brand new bike park. Said youngest born won both competitions for the high school aged bracket, best individual trick, and best street run, which is a misnomer I think because it's all done on ramps and half pipes and stuff like that, the street is just how you get your car to the parking lot :) Grand prize (s) ---gift certificates to the local bike shop, yeah, that would also be the place of his employ. When they find out Monday that he's the one that won, they're probably going to have to thump him :)

And also I have a painting for you. It's title is a stretch, but think upon it and it will make sense hopefully! At any rate, "Pie And Coffee" 20 x 24 inches, acrylic painting on canvas. I will get it to my website http://karencooperpaintings.com/ (paypal available there) as soon as possible. Thanks for looking!
