Summer reading II~My New Painting

The only  time I am happy that my studio is in my basement is the summer since it is naturally air conditioned.  I love to do  summer themed pieces.  I will be spending some time in Chatham  again this summer. My husband and I are not big beach people but we do love taking long drives and looking at all the gorgeous scenery and old majestic sea house.  The hydrangea and flowers are more vivid I think from the ocean atmosphere.  This painting is 12x16 painted on gallery wrapped stretched canvas.  The sides are painted so no frame is needed.  Wired and ready to hang.

Thanks for looking.

Mothers and Daughters~New original painting

A Mother and Daughter themed painting is something  I have wanted to do since last Mother's Day.  Yes, Mother's Day is May12th.  Hopefully my sons will remember on their own but highly unlikely.

As I was working on this piece I very much enjoyed painting the pretty pink cake and flowers so you may see them make an appearance again .  There is a bowl of cherries on the side table there too. You can make up your own story about this painting.  It's 16x20 painted with acrylics on a cradled birch wood panel.  The sides are painted to match so it's ready to hang with or without a frame.

 The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why. Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh. - The Moody Blues, Tuesday Afternoon

Debra Plays The Piano-New Original Painting

Classical piano was the soundtrack of my childhood.  My sister’s and I  all took a turn with lesson but only one of my sisters really had the interest and gift. She practiced and played for years and years and went on to pursue music in college.  

I love to include pianos in my paintings. This piece is painted with acrylics on birch wood cradled panel. The sides are painted and it's wired and ready to hang. Thanks for looking. www.catherine47.etsy.com

 

Her mind is Tiffany twisted. - The Eagles, Hotel California

I couldn't resist pairing this painting with that quote from the Eagles.  I am back from vacation ready to tackle a few more commissions.  I am also creating a body of work that will be available exclusively through a new gallery in South Carolina due to open sometime in October.  I'll keep you posted about that when the time comes.  I love the fall.  Thank you for stopping by.  Catherine

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.
