We've been spoiled in North Carolina. Several days of 70 degree temperatures have made us think it's almost spring.  They're predicting snow flurries tonight. Winter hasn't released us from it's grip yet.  The flowering cherry trees don't know that.  Fooled by the sunny, warm weather, they started blooming.  I need to get out and paint before the frost gets them.  I started a new series of paintings inspired by a pair of red, satin shoes.  A painter friend and I set them up in a still life and started painting.  The new series is "Girls Night Out".  Mostly shoes, a wine glass and some beads.  They are great fun to paint with the looseness that comes with alla prima painting with acrylics. The galleries love them.  Let's see if the public responds as well.
