Day Eighty-Seven

                                                'Artie chokes two for a dollar'

8 x 8 oil on panel
50.00 + 6.00 s + h
     That's the punch line of an old joke my husband used to tell.  It's a really stupid one, but every now and then he'll throw it into the conversation.... go figure.     I tried to put the stroke of color down, and then NOT go over it... It was hard, because of the shapes and the way they fit together...I think I'm getting better at it, though. 

      I love to cook these, too, but they take at least 40 minutes to boil, and they have to be in a pretty big pot.   I'll just stick with painting them for now. ( although they are really good just dipped in a little mayo)
