I was ill all week, then felt better today so I went to my Mom's house as she is teaching me to oil paint ! Yippee !!! Today I just got a feel for the paint, next time I will try and concentrate on her instructions and not rush through to finish :) I am used to instant gratification with acrylics, so waiting WEEKS between layers is going to help me work on the Patience thing The Lord has been TRYING to teach me :) Hee hee !!
So, Ta Da !! Here is my first oil painting !! :)
I may go back and tweek it later, as now that the Turpentine High has worn off, I am thinking it is a bit simple and looks like it needs something.Ok, on to the Pinkage. Pink vintage dolls that have been restored. The first is a 1950's 8" Pam Walker doll. These are more collectible if they are Ginny's or Muffy's, but Miss Pam is a sweetie pie too, Pedigree NOT needed in this household. :) I have about fifteen in different stages of restoration. To learn more about these dolls and other Hard Plastic Vintage dolls, this is a great link HERE.
Sweet Bridesmaid doll in Pink :)
Antique Pink mercury glass garland for my tree. I need to restring and mix these two strands together :)
A few Pink Faux Cookie tags. I am always making odds and ends and including them in my packages when people buy things. These I made up for Valentine Sales :) ( Pardon the light, I took these at night, nothing beats daylight for pictures ! )
And lastly, look what came in the mail today ??? A Gift from a SWEET Girl in Idaho who KNOWS I positively DROOL over ANYthing that is painted by Sonie Ames !! Cant WAIT to frame these !!! Thank you sweet Chick !!!! :) :) :)
I need to take one of THESE to my Mom's house for Oil Paint class inspiration :)Anyhoo. That is my pink this week. I have been SO busy in-between NAPS :) finishing up my giveaway box and two swaps I joined. Cant wait to show you :)

Oh, my. This is just beautiful for your first try at oil painting. I can't wait to see what else you and your mom paint up! - Kathy
I ♥ to come here on Pink Saturday. Your blog is always so sweet and comforting. Cold and gloomy winter up here this year so Pink Saturday is one day I can always count on for a little pink ray of sunshine.
Oh, my, today your blog was literally littered with such darling pinks! I wish someone would teach me how to paint...sigh.
Thanks for being my pink sunshine today☺
Wishing you the comfort and warmth of those you love this weekend.
Love all things pink. Your painting looks great for a first timer. Looking forward to seeing more of your creations. Take care Carol
It is so wonderful that you and your mom are such friends that she is even teaching you how to oil paint.
