Pinstripes and Calla Lilies

This is my latest painting.    It's funny how the people in my paintings end up resembling family members unintentionally.  This gentlemen looks a lot like my grandfather(whom I've never met)  on my mother's side. That's Leo there on his arm.  Can you tell my husband and I like Boardwalk  Empire? Season two is great so far.  I find the clothing from that period so inspiring.

This painting is 14x11 painted with acrylics on canvas. The sides have been painted so no frame is needed.  Wired and ready to hang! To purchase this or any other paintings I have available go to:

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. See previous post.
