It's been a while......

When it rains it pours! I have been working on so many projects that I am not painting on my own work as often as I would like. Lots of commissions lately.  My print business has been really taking off and I find myself needing a larger space but I so love working from home.  My mother (soon to be 92)  has been moved to Kennebunk Maine to be closer to my three older sisters as she  has been declining both mentally and physically. I try to see her once a week .   At the same time,  Sam has been going through another rough patch but is starting to get better.    I am so grateful for that.

 This new painting was inspired by a family  I came across on Instagram.    The mom  posts such wonderful everyday  scenes of life with 6 children! I am from a family of  seven BTW.  I was totally inspired by their amazing old world shabby chic home. in England.   This piece "Family Portrait" is 20x16 painted on a cradled wood panel with painted sides.  It would make a great mother's day gift.  

Thanks for looking and have a nice day today.  

Eleanor Lives In A Dream

OK I guess I have Easter on my mind.  See the bunny ?  Not to mention the spring colors I used here despite the damp cold weather the past few days.  This is my new painting.  I was listening to a Beatles album when I got the idea for this painting.  I am  always struck by the creative lyrics.  I should have  painted "a face in a jar by the door."  Too late.  Anyway, this work is 11x14 painted on canvas .  For sale in my Etsy shop.
