A Good Day

Coyotes are back. They summered elsewhere with the kids. Not that they sent a postcard or anything. Hello Porters. We’re dining on tastier bunnies down the hill. See ya in September. Love Wiley E. and Fam. 

No. One day there were here and then one day they weren’t. Sure was easier to sleep. But now they’re back hunting in the woods and fields around the house. Waking us up in the middle of the night. Not a gentle dreams interruptus, more like the soundtrack from a horror movie. I wrote a post about them last year, complete with a few photos. You can see them here.

When I finally did get up, I had a leisurely breakfast, alienated a number of people on FaceBook (there’s an election coming up, remember) and then headed out to the studio where I cranked up the music.

And  painted.

And collaged.

And scribbled.

'Sophie' by Susan Lobb-Porter

And ended up with this.

And these. Although they were all (and some still are) works-in-progress.

And at the end of the day… a tired girl. Happy girl. It was a good day and I can’t complain about that!

    Nice day’s work. Your hands look like mine at the end of the day LOL! I find decoupage gives your nails a nice “glow” but a real bugger to get off. I’ll be glad when the coyotes go somewhere else too. Makes my sons four dogs go crazy. Hope you have a restful day. P.S. “art inspired by life” suits your style so well.

      I still have black paint on my arm and that’s after the shower 🙂 Pat. Coyotes are probably are for awhile since they just returned. I’ll try talking them into a nice trip to SoCal, talk up Kern County to ’em.

    I LOVE Sophie! What an adorable painting! My sister is an artist and did the painting that is on the cover of my book coming out soon. I can’t vouch for the content, but the cover is gorgeous!

      Can’t wait to see that cover, Galen. The book too. I’m sure the content is mind-boggling awesomeness 🙂
