One Sweet World- Dave Matthews Band

One Sweet World- Dave Matthews Band. 6x6 Oil on Gessobord. The challenge this week on DailyPaintworks is to paint ice cream. I searched Pixabay and found this sweet photo of a young boy really getting into his cone! So sweet! 
From song facts.com I learned this! So the title seems to be perfect
  • In 2002, Ben and Jerry's created a Dave Matthews Band inspired ice cream called "One Sweet Whirled" as a tribute to this song. It is a combination of coffee ice cream, caramel, and marshmallow swirls. Ben and Jerry's and Dave Matthews Band both support socially responsible causes, and some proceeds from "One Sweet Whirled" go to the organization Save Our  Environment
     So the title seems to be perfect! Here is the music...

Strawberry Fields Forever

Strawberry Fields Forever- The Beatles. Finally...finally...I got to paint today! My fingers have been twitching to hold a brush for a month. I did a pet portrait two weeks ago, but have been off the thinner and linseed oil smell for a month or two! But to open my paints again and smell them and be creative....omg I'm in heaven! 
Here is the music.

In The Garden- Van Morrison

In The Garden- Van Morrison. 6x6 Oil on gessobord. Day 2 of the bunnies! Something about them just makes me smile:) So soft and sweet....and quiet. My daughter Meg used to have a lop she would put a bonnet on and push it around in a doll carriage! 
I have always loved Van Morrison..enjoy, it has a nice melody

Garden Party- Rick Nelson

Garden Party- Rick Nelson- 6x6 Oil on gessobord. I was in Billings, cakin and being back up helper and electrician for Meg's cakin kitchen for a week so I missed all the cute bunnies! My grandkids are in another state (miss them dearly) so I felt compelled this morning to celebrate my Easter by painting this little guy! So sweet and fluffy!

Let's Get It Started- The Black Eyed Peas

Let's Get It Started- The Black Eyed Peas. 6x6 Oil on gessobord. The challenge this week is signs of spring. Nothing brings spring to mind more than crocus. They poke their heads out of the snow searching for the sun! Just like me! I want the sun ....and ....spring to start! So Let's get it started!
I wasn't sure if this was the right song, but listening to it...I was up dancing around the room! So yes! It is the right one!
