Spring Storm... Trouble.... SOLD!
I have to remember the sky is one of the main things I love about Oklahoma. I got home just in time to cover some of the crops that have already popped up in the garden. Yesterday I painted outside with my adult class in 85 degree weather. This pretty little storm is expected to first drop hail and then tomorrow drop temps to below freezing and it is APRIL!!
This dramatic sky and others like it inspired this new painting. My facebook pals had several suggestions for names. I am leaning towards " Trouble." Nothing spells trouble like an Oklahoma tornado and throw in a bad hair day....

Pre Raphaelite Girl by Margaret Aycock
This is what I have been playing with today. I started this painting in my adult class as a demo and finished it over the holidays. I have been painting Oklahoma landscapes and decided to put her at the edge of an Oklahoma forest.

Persimmons
It is that
time of year. When it gets cold and grey out I look for a relatively
warm, sunnier day and finding one, take off into the woods. I keep my
eyes peeled for bare branches with little balls hanging from them.
Finding that tree, my search takes to the ground. The best persimmons
have already fallen. They are usually unattractive and mushy which
might scare off those who are used to perfect looking fruits and veggies
offered at grocery stores. That is fine with me because those folks
grab the pretty looking persimmons on the tree, bite in and find a
bitter tasting fruit that quickly gets spit out. I won't have to worry
about them taking my tasty treats. I have been eating them and painting
them throughout the last couple of weeks. This is the latest one.

After a Walk in the Woods
We took a nice walk in the woods two days ago when it was about 55 degrees out and then worked on this the next day when it didn't get above freezing. Surprisingly we found a tree full of persimmons long after the season was over. Every tree in the woods was totally vacant of persimmons EXCEPT one and it was absolutely full of them. We have had several hard frosts and an ice storm which should have cleared every tree. Don't know how this one held on so long. Anyways the persimmons, having been through those extreme weather conditions, had turned a very interesting shade of blue, almost like a blueberry. I just had to bring some home to paint. Later in the day we found a tree that had dropped a bunch of acorns too and the squirrels hadn't found them yet. I have been meaning to try to make some acorn flour and these were so big and meaty that I couldn't resist. When I started to make the acorn meal and boil it, it smelled just like molasses. I called my husband in and asked, " what does this smell like?" to which he replied, " Molasses." I am excited to try some bread made from this flour. Perhaps a loaf of banana persimmon bread is in order.

Fall Sky on the Prairie 6x6 oil on canvas by Margaret Aycock
This is one of my little sky paintings. The size is 6x6 and is an oil painting on stretched canvas. I love the idea of daily painting. What a great, affordable way to start collecting art and keeping our artists painting..... a win win for everyone. Right now I have a great collection of my series of local musicians hanging on my kitchen wall. I used to have some sky paintings there but dang it, people kept buying them :-) They are pretty and fun to paint. If you want to purchase this one you may do so here. It costs $99 with $5 for shipping. If you want to see more of my work click here to go to my ebay store. To find out more about me and my work click here to go to my blog
