The Tea Party is Over, cups tea bag bees sugar cubes

The Party is over when the bees decide to visit for a taste of sweet tea. Now I like mine with cream and no sugar please.
There are many ways to Drink Tea:
The Chinese have three ways to drink/appreciate tea: taste, drink, and eat. Taste means to sip and then to taste high quality tea products with small quantity, and it is a process to appreciate the shape, flavor, color, taste, and freshness of tea. Drink Tea means drink average quality tea with large amount of water for daily drinking purpose. Eat Tea obviously is to eat tea leaves with tea liquid to appreciate the texture and flavor of tea leaves. Tea can also be used to cook and serve with cuisine so its unique flavor, color, and texture can be added to the main ingredients of the dishes.

Don't put Barbie in the Corner

Don't put Barbie in the Corner
Don't put Barbie in the Corner, painting by Delilah Smith

About This Painting:


Walking into my nieces play room the first thing you think is GI Joe" went wild with dead Barbie’s strewn all over. Legs in the air, a tumble of dolls, each drop and left where it landed; what could have been the doll disaster that struck this play room?

There in the corner one lonely Barbie waiting for someone to ask her to dance. When I ask why Barbie is I the corner, her older sister informs me that only babies play with Barbies big girls play with Bratz Dolls. I thought of the quote from dirty dancing "No one puts Baby in the corner”, maybe it’s time for Barbie to come out and dance.

Miniture Marshmallows and a Cup of Cocoa

It is getting cold in Michigan and I have been longing for the taste of sweet hot cocoa in the mornings.

I like to put big fat marshmallows in mine. I currently have braces on my teeth and big marshmallow would be just too much to deal with, especially half melted and sticky. Then I remember those sweet little miniature marshmallows, that you can just pop in your mouth in a single melt in your mouth sweet bit. Oh ,so yummy and good.

When I went to the store I got all the stuff for my morning cup of joy: marshmallows, milk and cocoa. Now I was set to go. When I got home I happen to take a look at my bag of groceries,that I had sat on the floor as I was putting things away.There was Elvis ,my cat, head first in the bag of treats tearing at the marshmallow. It appears that I am not the only one who loves them.

Cat No.2
Cat No.2, painting by Delilah Smith

About This Painting:Cats are in constant motion are least mine are so if they are not napping it is best to take a photo , if you can get them to set still log enough to pose for one , and work from that. I tape it to my easel for a quick reference then work from that. I then take burnt sienna and sketch in the main shape. Because I am an oil painter I do not do a detailed drawing on the canvas, I would just paint it over. I paint the shadows first, then the mid tone values and finally the background.

Figures are challenging enough - add to it the hovering-above perspective and you are faced with painting what you see and not what you know.

Van Gogh Sunflowers and Pears

Vincent van Gogh. His wonderful, unique style of painting seems like it would be a lot of fun to emulate. This is why it was picked for Challenge Number Eight at Follow the Masters.

I have put lots of texture into this painting. It is much larger then my normal daily work because I have been working on it for a few days. The painting is 14x11 with heavy impasto.

Beer Bottles

We have two son of a Dr who are our summer neighbors and these young men are so much fun, one is an attorney and the other will soon be out of law school at the " University of Detroit Law School ( top of his class) . These two Young men spend the weekends with their parents at there summer cottage( both single and great looking, where are all the ladies?). The one is an excellent chef while his brother prefers to take the sail boat out. But at night the neighbors all come over to the lake side fire. That is where the day become interesting.

Dad "The WINE DR" makes the best wine and I have taken up the gauntlet on this and I am learning the skill. He imports his grapes from California to mix his brew. I order kits to make mine .

Both the boys like to try different beer so they share their discovers with the rest of us at the camp fire. What could be better :great stories, marshmallows, a campfire, and interesting beverage to enjoy.

The Color of the Fall Landscape

The miracle of the fall landscape is in full swing now. Maples are turning bright red and the other trees add the yellows,oranges, and browns as the green fades from the landscape. Soon it will be painted shades of white and gray but today it is in full splendor.

Dragonflies, bugs from art Nouveau

Several images keep recurring in my paintings, one of them is the dragonfly. I think the movement of the dragonfly is almost magical. When they fly, they dart in and out, and their wings are just a buzz of color. When they finally take a rest on a reed or small flower there is a spiritual quite to them.
