Tree Of Life III new original painting by Catherine Nolin

Today is my youngest son Samuel's 18th birthday.  It's hard to believe.  For those of you who don't know about Sam he was diagnosed with autism and a few other medical conditions when he was two.  It's difficult to put into words how I feel today. Life has been a bittersweet emotional roller coater so far.  Sam has touched so many lives without ever knowing.  His very exsistance  has brought couple's together, made us experts on alternative medicine and diet, taught compassion, acceptance and to never take anything for granted.   
I painted this Tree of Life because Sam has so much life to live and things to learn.  I will think positively about  him during this new year,  full of growing and healing.  This new painting is 20x16 painted on stretched canvas.  Available for sale in my Etsy shop  www.catherine47.etsy.com

New Tree Of Life

Today I was able to complete this painting despite feeling a bit under the weather.   By the time I finished I was feeling much better.  I guess nature heals.   Painted on linen with acrylics.  11x14 and the sides have been painted so no frame is needed.

The Tree Of Life II


This is my newest piece. Another variation on The Tree Of life. I have enjoyed every brush stroke, every minute of my time creating this painting. It's going to be difficult to part with this one. Although it 11x14 done on stretched cotton and linen I can visualize it much larger also. I could have gone on and on with detail and layers forever! I hope you enjoy looking at this special painting.

The Tree Of Life


Well, this isn't exactly the holiday design I mentioned in my last post. I often get side tracked and I'm glad. I started this painting early last week but was going back and forth working on my holiday card design and also a commission and feeling frustrated. Friday after a hike with my husband in the deep woods, and a little inspiration from my hero William Morris I was able to finish. This is my version of the "Tree Of Life" seen so often covering the walls in beautiful rooms. This painting is also a companion piece in a way to "Birds In Paradise" a painting I completed in the spring. 11x14 for sale in my ETSY shop.

Sailing Away


Well, this will probably be my last new painting until mid July. My son Sam will be home from his residential school for the next 10 days and it's all hands on deck. This new painting is appropriately titled. I love how it came together with all the details. It is 9x12 done on stretched cotton and linen. I will be announcing my July Giveaway either this afternoon or tomorrow. Please check back. I have also completed a large commission painting that I will post an image of on this blog as soon as my client receives it. She should be the first to see it. For sale in my Etsy shop.
