It is Wednesday and I am almost ready to go to Cannon Beach for the 2013 spring unveiling.  I wanted to make a bright splash in Josephine's window so I painted this dress in corals and oranges.  It actually makes me want to dance.
Hope to see some of you there.
Enjoy!

WEEK 2

Tea pots and tea has often been a subject of my paintings.  My sister always brings lemons for her tea and I love pretty tea pots.  So, I guess these two are kind of a family portrait.
These are 11 x 14 acrylic on canvas paintings.

DAY 4 waiting for flowers

I love the shape of this vase.  It is so yummie round and makes me want to fill it with all kinds of flowers.  So, the title "waiting for flowers" makes sense to me.  Today it is all about shape and color.
This is a 12" x 16" acrylic on canvas.

DAY 3 Fresh Cream

We were cleaning out the shed last weekend and I had a box of enamelware that was purchased in France.  This particular one was in the first painting I did after returning from my first trip.  I was thrilled to have such a perfect piece.  And now, 16 years later, I am painting it again.  What joy to remember that time while painting.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Good Afternoon
This week I am painting again.  I saw a wonderful chair and mirror in a design book and thought perhaps I might be able to paint them.  And, then the "mirror, mirror" came into play.  No, not the fairest of them all; but maybe asking about joy and laughter.  Who looks in the mirror that much anyway?

DAY 1 painting 2

 DAY 1, painting 2
Almost every day I go by the Blue Heron paper plant and think about painting some pictures of it.  So, finally, last week, I took pictures to see what might be interesting.  I adore all the curves, lines, windows and cat walks.  I want to see what the inside looks like too. This painting is 12" x 16" acrylic on canvas.

DAY I painting One

Day 1 Painting One
Time for round 2 of 30 paintings in 30 days. Made it to 20 last time.  Let's see what happens this time.
While looking through postcards and pictures I have taken of Paris flea market chairs I found this beautiful light purple chair.  It looked like something I might like to paint.  So, I began to paint and it seemed like entirely too many layers later it almost looked like that chair.  And then I took the scrub brush to it and like it much better.
