Birds In Paradise

This is my latest painting. I have uploaded the largest view of this image so you can see all the detail. I have been forever influenced by William Morris. His work makes my heart jump when ever I see it. This is the first in a series of decorative style pattern paintings. I can see this design as wallpaper in my home. This piece is 11x14 done on stretched cotton. The sides have been painted so no frame is necessary. It is available for sale in my Etsys shophttp://www.etsy.com/shop/catherine47 sold

Dark Horses and Ranunculus

Here is another painting I finished today. I guess I have horses on the brain. They are such a sweet, elegant animal. Also, I just signed up Sam for riding therapy. It's funny how things pop up in my paintings from my subconscious.

Hellebore Love

A single hellebore. These flowers are so gorgeous. My new favorite. A few interesting facts: They are an easy to grow perennial, drought tolerant and deer resistant. This painting of a single hellebore is 8x10 done on stretched cotton and linen with acrylic paints. For sale in my Etsy shop.

Winner Of My Fine Art Giveaway!

Congratulations to Lisa Porter. I will be announcing my March giveaway mid March. thanks for following.

Sitting Lilly

My newest painting, "Sitting Lilly." This piece is 8x10 done with acrylic paints on stretched cotton/linen. Ever since I returned from Sicily, I have been in an orange faze. I especially love it against the turquoise tones in this painting. There is just something about orange calla lilies. My art work looks great framed however this piece doesn't require one because the sides have been painted. Don't forget about my GIVEAWAY. Just join my blog and you will be entered into the drawing.
