October Beckoning, 6x6 Inch Original Oil Painting by Kelley MacDonald



SOLD

I love the stem of this  - well, it's actually a gourd  - it seems to say "Come... enjoy this month!"  
Today I searched through half of Providence, RI to find some scrumptious cupcake to whip at fellow Daily Painters Originals artist Susan Roden.  No luck.  That's OK, my spirits were high because it was the kind of day I love - dramatic clouds, chilly enough for a fleece, but not uncomfortable, with blustery winds that take your hair and whip it all around.  Paco and I scoured the East Side of Providence, following leads we (ok, I) found on the internet for cupcakes - they were boring!  So we stopped at a deli in Barrington for a sandwich and saw that the local magazine that has the Discover Warren Map inside was available cool!  Until... I saw they'd forgotten to include me and my studio on the map or in the description.  I was a bit bummed (just a bit, OK?...) since I've been so excited about this for 2 months, and signed on within 3 days of it being announced.  
Trying to be balanced about it - not much I can do now, except hope that people stumble upon me that day!   Tomorrow.... a different twist on an everyday cupcake!

  5. Great work, Kelley! Love the drama of that gorgeous orange next to the black. You're right...that stem is the star here.

    You just get out one of those jelly banners and you'll have to beat 'em off with a broom ;)
