What I'm working on......

I'll be wrapping up a fun smaller piece tomorrow.  I've been gearing up for the holiday season  and finalizing some licensing images which will hopefully be in stores after the first of the year if not sooner! I guess the cold weather is here now.  I remember complaining about the heat and humidity and now I'm too cold in my studio 100 year old house is mighty drafty these days.  

Part Of The Arrangment II~ New painting .

Completed on November 2, 2017 .  My son Max, who is an amazing portrait painter, gave me some new botanical brushes for my birthday from England that are pretty incredible to use. The application process was wonderful and made a huge difference for me.  This painting is 16x20 I also tried out some new slow drying acrylics that were incredible to work with.  Quality is so rich and colors quite vibrant I am happy to have stumbled upon them.  

Our power was off for almost three days earlier in the week!  I am so grateful to be back to work in my studio and have some light and heat!  

Thanks for looking.

What The Water Carries- New 18x24 Painting

Completed on Oct. 25, 2017.  This is an epic and heartfelt piece for me.  I wanted to dig deep into some of my thoughts and struggles but at the same time show beauty and hopefulness.  Another self portrait if you will.

What I've Been up to.

I'm working on a 18x24 piece and wanted to do something a bit different.   I love surrealism as well as the old masters.    

Francis _ New Work

 Meet Francis.  My newest painting.  She was  created on a 14x18  cradled wood panel with painted sides.  I wanted to convey some peace, gentleness, and  humility. I've always loved St. Francis and his story.  Enjoy the weekend and thanks for looking!

What I'm working on

I'm working on another 14x18 portrait style painting with an old world flare.  Looking forward to adding the flowers on the ground.  I guess I am trying to convey peace and kindness.  We could all use a little today.  

What I'm working on

I've been working on this "Sleep  Study "  painting which I am pretty excited about.  The photo is taken at an angle honestly because  I am too embarrassed to show my extremely messy studio backdrop! I work in  very chaotic conditions which Scott reminds me of every time he walks in!  .  I do clean my studio after every painting though.(:  It's part of my process.
