Paris Apartment~New original Painting

I wasn't sure I was actually going to finish this piece today since I was stuck in traffic all morning and then came home and began cleaning my house instead of painting .  This is somethings that happens quite frequently although my house never looks clean or organized these days. 

This painting is 11x14 executed with acrylics on stretched canvas.  The sides are painted so no frame is needed and it's wired and ready to hang but I think this one needs a pretty frame!  Thanks for looking.

Cleaning Out the studio sale!

A few times each year I have a sale on some of my older paintings.  You can see them all posted on Etsy www.catherine47.etsy.com.  under the category SALE!  It's a great opportunity to purchase an original work of art!  Most of them are already beautifully framed too!

Restoration Gray-new original painting

Today as I sat at my easel finishing up this piece today,  I couldn't help but smile.  Yesterday I was at Mass General Hospital in Boston taking my son Sam for a rather uncomfortable G.I. procedure.  It was very chaotic and  stressful but very necessary.   Here I am today lost in color and the peaceful atmopshere of my studio,  listening to George Winston and Leo purring on top of a pile of old magazines.  I love my job! 

This is my newest painting.  It's 11x14 painted with acrylics on stretched canvas.  Thanks for looking.

The Look Of Love-new original painting

Here's hoping all the days ahead, won't be as bitter as the one's behind you. Be an optimist instead, and somehow happiness will find you. - The Kinks, Better Things

 My husband is always reminding me about the law of attraction.    Positive thoughts attracting good things and negative thoughts attracting negativity in your life.  I always feel irritated when he says that since it's usually at a point in which  I am way down that dark road and don't want to hear it!   However, I must admit he might be onto something!

Here's to hoping you have a positive day~oh wait no that's wrong...You are going to have a positive day.

Gabriella's Table (gets a makeover)

You may remember this painting looking a bit different a few months back.  Occasionally I end up reworking a painting and this just happens to be one of them.  I am much happier with this version.  I consider it a "make- over."  The dimensions are 18x24 painted on stretched canvas.  Thanks for looking.
