Happy Holidays!  The joy of this season has me painting again.  These two chandeliers along with 8 other paintings will be in Convergence Gallery Santa Fe convergencegallery.com by the first of the year. The color is my happiness when the northwest gets dark.  Enjoy!

My white roses were spectacular this year.  They love the lavender planted next to them.

I missed the Queen Ann cherries so I painted some.

I found Belgin linen that likes to be printed with my designs so I made some pillows.  

These pillows are custom made so let me know if you would one or two.  I can use any design available on ipaintpictures.com. 

Three Paris Queens

I fell in love with the queens of Luxembourg Gardens in Paris on my first trip.  Last month I began putting their images on collage and waxing.  Here are the first three.  They are red in honor of St. Valentines month.  It is my favorite holiday.  Enjoy!

Santa Fe for the Holidays

THANK YOU CONVERGENCE GALLERY FOR SUCH A LOVELY SHOW!!!

Almost Done!

This is a 4 foot by 4 foot canvas commission.  There are a few more hours of work to be done.  I want to make one for me now.

Such a messy messy studio

Good Afternoon.  I just took these photos of my studio and thought I would share what it looks like after a few busy projects.  My hope is to clean it up a bit after I finish the chandelier I am working on.  Do wish me luck as the skies are getting grey and I am ready to go into winter hibernation.

If there is an empty flat space, I will fill it.  

I don't know what it is like to sit on my little chaise.

The Party Starts Here

Good Morning.  This is my most recent dress chandelier painting.  It is 24" x 36" and so much fun.  It is a result of this chandelier that I have been working on since spring.

 

The studio is getting a good cleaning out this week and I wonder what kind of painting it will lead to next.  I am always finding ideas that I have cut out of something and put somewhere and then voila it is time to paint again.
In the meantime, the garden calls and the weeds are paying a visit.
Enjoy!
