Nov. 2014

It has been quite some time since I last updated this Blog and I have really been quite busy the biggest part of the time. I have closed up the garage for the Winter months but will be resuming my work there in the coming Spring. It is very cold and snowing here in Sarver, Pa. as I write.
It has been a great year for painting on canvas and wood pieces and I am so happy to be a designer of painting packets at The Decorative Painting Store.com, Sharon Chinn has been a wonderful help to me as I am not exactly computer savvy but she is, I now have quite a few packets available and working on more all the time. Also there are so many other designers and painters on the site that I feel humbled to be there.

I lost my dear sweet friend and neighbor a few weeks ago and I miss him terribly and so does Sammy (my dog) hahaha, he misses all those belly rubs. John was 87 and used to come through the door and sit down at the table and say in a loud voice, COFFEE.

I am very thankful for my health and hope it stays as well as it has been, for 67 years old I feel pretty good, except for the aches and pains that we all get at this age.

I have made so many new friends since I opened the garage for business and also on facebook, I am admin on several groups and it helps to fill the time, wish I were more of a traveler, would love to take some painting classes from so many painters, but I am not a good traveler at all,

I am including some photos of the work I have done recently, hope you all like them and as always you can feel free to contact either on facebook or at Suegetto@yahoo.com. The paintings are not all my own designs but most are.

Wishing you all a very healthy and productive life and hope to hear from you.

Happy New Year 2014

The first day of a new year and hoping that 2014 is as wonderful as the past year has been, there have been ups and downs of course but that is to be expected from someone who suffers with bi-polar disorder, you would think after all these years I would get use to the fact that there are just days that stink.
The weather always affects how my moods will swing and for the past several weeks we have had so much cold and snow here in Western Pa. that I must say I am already looking forward to Spring and being able to get out more, you would wonder why I would stay in such a cold climate but here is where my roots are and here I shall stay.
I have made many new friends during this past year and am so very grateful to all who have come and visited me and made my life a little brighter. Even though the temps have forced me to close down the garage that I call Cobwebs and All, I still continue to buy and sell antiques and items of interest and am now a small part of a sweet new shop in the local area that is called Sweet Magnolia's and operated by dear friends who have worked so hard to make the new shop a success.
I also have a few new designs for decorative painting that are available at The Decorative Painting Store and plan to add more in the near future. Must say that I painted more furniture over the previous Summer into Fall than decorative painting, lets face it, there is more money in furniture painting and as time goes by and my eyesight is no longer what it should be it is a lot easier to paint a dresser or a sideboard than it is to paint fine details on a painting. I just keep going to larger canvases and surfaces.
I continue to enjoy the company of my small companion Sammy, who does keep me a little more active than I would normally be, this little dog actually understands me when I talk to him, hahaha, and he is a real joy in my otherwise quiet life.
I am wishing you each and every one a very Happy 2014, may God be with you and keep you well.
