Waiting On A Friend

I haven't been into my blog lately.  I guess with so much going on it wasn't my top priority.  Here is my latest painting.  8x10 on stretched linen and cotton. These photos don't do this piece justice.  It is really lovely.  I am tyring a more "painterly" approach these days. Less hard contour lines and using lighting a bit more.   

Autism Holiday Card Design

This is my holiday Autism card design for 2009.  I am donating all of the proceeds to my son's nonprofit school this year.    This card is available for $3.00 ea   on my Etsy site.  http://www.catherine47.etsy.com/

Stained Goblets

Something a little different for me but very fun.  Once again the photo does capture the essence of this painting either. It really is quite striking.   This original painting is 16x20 done on gallery wrapped stretched canvas. so no framing is required.  $85.00

Two new contemporary paintings

Some of my customers have requested that i do a large scale painting of  a rug design that I use often in my room portrait paintings.  Here is my first one.  The photo doesn't really capture the essence of this piece.  You really have to see it to  appreciate it fully.  It is rather large for me 22x28 on gallery wrapped stretched canvas.  I have painted the sides so framing isn't required.  no staples showing.  $149.00
