"Cleaning Out The Studio Sale!"

It's time for my annual "Cleaning Out The Studio Sale."  I have a big agenda for 2016 and can't wait to get started!  I haven't picked up a paint brush since the beginning of December .  As many of you know my son Samuel, is home for the Christmas break and he requires 1 to 1 attention.  He requires and deserves I should say.  It's been going well so far  and I am grateful.  It isn't easy both physically and mentally but I always come away with such inspiration to paint.  I have been gathering all my new ideas on sticky notes that I have placed around my computer monitor so I wont forget!  

These painting are available through my etsy Shop  www.catherine47.etsy.com under SALE category and also through my website- www.catherinenolin.org

Happy New Year! 

Return Of The Finch

This is my last painting of the year.  I love the combination of yellow and gray.  My two cats Gracie and Theo provide endless inspiration.   As I am writing this, they are both cackling,  at gold finches at our bird feeder.  They are inside cats of course.  This painting is 11x14 painted on a wood panel with painted sides. http://catherinenolin.org/artwork/3904781-Return-Of-The-Finch.html

I would also like to take a moment and thank you all for your support and wonderful comments this past year.  It has been an amazing 12 months  for my work with many new friends and customers.  I am grateful to love what I do.  I am especially grateful to my husband Scott for always telling me to "just keep painting" many years ago.   

 I wish you all much Peace and Joy ~

Higher Ground - New Painting

Higher Ground is my newest painting.  I enjoyed pulling this piece together.   I thought it was a great title since I love Stevie Wonder and the thought of where that staircase is going? I am constantly looking for God through my art if that makes any sense.   This time of year always makes me a bit anxious for many  reasons and I need to remember to breathe.  Thanks for stopping by .  If you click the link you can view this  painting on my website for more info.

Twilight Collection- New Painting

Close up of Barn Owl

Completed on 12-3 AVAILABLE A bit of an experimental piece for me. I had a large canvas that had been sitting in my studio, I mostly work on wood now, so I decided to execute an idea I have had for a while. The coral is often shown in renaissance art as a sign of good luck and hope. The tassels are just because as well as the rest of the items. Photo is a bit dark with a slight glare- I took it as the sun was going down too excited to wait until the morning! Thanks for stopping by.
