Eternal Balance


It's been a long weekend.  Sam has been going through a very difficult time and today was the first "good" day he has had in a long time.  It gave me the hope I needed.   Having balance is so important, even when you absolutely love what you do for work. 
This painting has sold.  To see other pieces that are available go to:

A sister smiles when one tells one's stories - for she knows where the decoration has been added. ~Chris Montaigne

This was a piece I did in 2009.  The harbor is in Portsmouth N.H.  The women in the painting represent my 5 sisters.  I am beginning a new painting tomorrow that I am quite excited about.  Thanks for looking.  Catherine

Commission piece

One of my clients commissioned me to create  this piece for her dear friend.  I just completed it today. 
She shared many interesting things about her friend's fascinating life that I enjoyed interpreting.

Leopard In The House

This is my latest painting.  It is 20x16 painted with acrylics on stretched canvas.  I seem to be in my "animal period" these days. I am having a good time creating these dream rooms.  There is a lot going on here I know.  It's up for interpretation. I'd like to hear from you! Catherine

Her Majesty The Queen.....................

Finally finished.   This new painting gives me the opportunity to showcase my love of fabric and patterns. What do you think?
This is about the third time I have included a barn owl in one of my   painting.   Have you ever really looked at one of these magnificent  creatures?  I guess I was subconsciously thinking about October!  Yes, that is an artichoke staff she holds   This piece is 16x20 painted on stretched canvas .  Thanks for looking.  Catherine

Enlightened Botanical

This is my latest painting.  It's 11x14 painted on stretched canvas.  I will be showing my new work at Art In The Park in South Portland ME on August 13th.  This is new show for me but  since my sister lives right down the street in Cape Elizabeth, it's a good excuse for a visit as well. 
I plan  on posting another painting this week however, my son, Max (20 years old) is preparing for a cross country trip which also involves organic farming along the way.  He is leaving Friday morning for 4 months!  Although I am not thrilled that he has decided to put finishing college on hold, this is a once in a life time experience that he will have with his cousin and another good childhood friend.  I have been feeling both anxiety and excitement for him.  They are going to many of the major national parks along the way camping for weeks at a time.  It really hasn't hit me yet that he is leaving and what he will be doing!  Everything happens for a reason and I know that this experience will be with him for the rest of his life.

Sophia's Pagoda Vase Is Empty

        
Must be Friday since I have completed  another painting. Sophia needs some flowers for her vase. She is fortunate that she can simply walk outside and have her pick. Can you tell what my influences were for this piece?  Hopefully, like Sophia,  I will be able to walk outside and have my pick of flowers once the sun comes back!  This new painting is 11x14 done on stretched canvas for sale in my Etsy  Shop.
Have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for stopping by.

Earth Tones New painting

I wish I owned this white couch and the pillow too.  This is my newest painting.  It has a little bit for everyone!  Oceans, earth, stars,  birds, telescopes and an  interior scene.  I have been drawn to more muted earth tones lately.  This could be a holding pattern.  This painting is 11x14 for sale in my Etsy shop.
