Let's Eat Lots of Cake

 

I started these cakes with a large French balcony grate 

and then began to add lots of colour.

Today comes the flowers and fancies.  These are each 8" x 24".

About 10 years ago I started collecting white china with frilly edges.  And, I use them every day.  I though about keeping them for "good" but really don't know what that means. I think every day is a good day and some days are even better.  16" x 20".

There is something I remember when I paint with these colours. It might have been a plaid cotton dress I wore to school in 4th grade.  I keep tasting the colour.  30" x 40".

The Colours are Back!

The rain just kept coming for the last three weeks and I started painting brown pictures without using brown paint.  I had to leave the studio and do something else.  The sun came out a little bit yesterday and today and look what happened?  I am so happy!  24" x 36".
Enjoy your weekend.

Painting in the Rain

Entertaining is delightful when the plates do not match.

I like the idea that the flowers come right through the window to decorate the table. 

This is a fun one for me to be painting.

Two Red Chairs

Two Red Chairs (or the colour of the moment)

I am still working on interior paintings.  These chairs are my all time second favorite next to the Paris park chairs I love so much.  I don't think they will end up red; but who knows.

Enjoy the day!

Saturday Class

We all got together in my studio at 9am on Saturday; Teri, Angie, Paula & Kiki.

The first order of business, after the coffee, tea and apple cake,

was to create a collage as a way to warm up.  We worked on these until noon.

After lunch we started painting a Tuscan landscape.

It is always amazing to me when I get the opportunity
to play art with women who have never or only a few times
painted and they create such amazing pieces.
I hope they all end up on their walls.

The next class is April 9, 2011.  

Space if limited, so please sign up early.

Sitting in Paris Today

This morning Paris was on my mind; especially while I was working on this painting.  Still not done but it makes me want to check airline prices.  Stay warm.
