Pretty Pretty Peony

Good Afternoon.  Today I am beginning a 15 in 15.  Seems a bit more realistic as the weather is so beautiful any given hour of the day.  My friend Haley came over and we picked a postcard of a painting and painted our own picture.  The card is a painting by Raoul Dufy "la vie en rose" 1931.  My painting became "pretty pretty peony" 2013.  It is 11 x 14 acrylic on canvas.

HOUSE #1

Good morning.  I have been in the studio working on houses.  This one is collage, stenciled, paint, transfer, stamps and lots of love.  More are coming.  Welcome #1.

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?
