The Piano Lesson

Leo our new kitten is making it difficult for me to get things done but I managed.  This is my new painting. Meet Margret , (Leo is on top of the piano) she is waiting for her lesson to begin but her teacher seems to be late.  Maybe he is lost in the topiary garden?  This painting is 11x14 painted with acrylic on stretched canvas.

Living In The Moment

I do love the combination of eggplant and orange. I have been seeing it more and more lately. This painting is reminder to me that life is "now"(as my two sons would say.) I get so caught up in my work sometimes that I forget to come up for air, literally! This scene is simple and peaceful, kitten included. I think I'll stop and have a cup of tea. I like Good Earth green tea with lemongrass but not too late in the day otherwise I can't sleep. Hope you are having a good day.

Growing Pains

I decided to go in a more whimsical direction with this latest painting.     I wanted to bring together my love of interiors, textiles and nature (I know very Matisse like .)  You can make up your own story as you look at this seated woman.  She ended up looking a lot like my third oldest sister Susan in a way.  This was not my intent but it works for many reasons.

This painting is 11x14 .  stretched canvas.  For sale in my etsy shop

Lady Elaine

A mixture of ideas that all came together in this new painting, "Lady Elaine." I actually knew an Elaine who was in some ways a mentor to me in my mid 20's . She had a great sense of style and really enjoyed the finer things in life. She must be well into her eighties now. This painting is 11x14.
