I painted another autumn rhino. I kind of gravitate towards painting with oranges and reds anyway, so I guess he doesn't have to really even be an autumn rhino, just an Anne rhino. Reds and oranges can intermingle with the green foliage any time of the year (well, not in winter, I suppose). I'm enjoying doing one of these little paintings every day, but I'm starting to run out of certain colors. I've been out of orange for awhile. Obviously, I can make my own orange, but it is good to have a tube of a color that I use a lot. But now my yellows are running low and I can't make orange without yellow. I'm also running out of Paynes grey (dark grey) and I don't have a good tube of black (mine is all thick and goopy) and my blues are running low. I wish the paint fairy would drop some paint at my window just like the fan fairy left me a fan. It's much cheaper to draw with graphite. But thank goodness for Michaels coupons.
Hope everyone has a good day. So, it looks like today is Jane's actual birthday, so I will say "happy birthday" here on my blog. Happy Birthday, Jane! Hope there is another celebration in the mix. I unfortunately don't have a new rhino, but here is your birthday rhino from last year. I'm sure you won't mind if I dust him off and post him again. Just like the groundhog on February 2nd, he is eager to make his Oct. 17th appearance. He's a rhino, so he obviously saw his shadow. I would be worried if he didn't.

I heart my birthday rhino! Thanks for letting him come out and play again. I think I like your autumn rhinos just as well as the blue rhino you gave me. Very pretty colors. Keep it up! Oh, I wanted to let you know that I was not officially another year older until 10:00 on 10/16. Mom said I was born in a thunderstorm....I think that's why I like them so much now.
I heart the autumn and birthday rhino and I wish that the paint fairy would visit you with a plethora of pretty colors for your painting pleasure.
I also heart the reds and yellows--they are such cheery colors and so beautiful anytime of the year. I am sad to see them fall from the trees so quickly but suppose if I look down for a week or two--I'll find reds and yellows on the ground as well.
Keep on paintin' I heart your paintings in any color...
is the pumpkin painting still on the agenda? Or are paint supply issues going to interfere with planned pumpkin? Inquiring art admirers wanna know : )
