Swinging Susan

 

My mother was quite glamorous in her day. I love looking at glossy black and white photos of she and my father out with friends usually at swanky dinner clubs. Reminds me now of something out of Mad Men. She was always beautifully dressed but in almost every photo her eyes were closed! Always anticipating the flash I suppose. I have painted her here swinging above a lovely garden with an Islandus falcon keeping watch. This painting is 11x14 painted on stretched canvas with acrylics. The sides have been painted so no frame is needed. Wired and ready to hang.

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.

I Never Promised You A Rose Garden

This is my first new painting of 2011.  I have another right behind this one but will post it tomorrow hopefully.  It feels great to get back to work.  Many new pieces coming.

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

Sailing Away

Well, this will probably be my last new painting until mid July. My son Sam will be home from his residential school for the next 10 days and it's all hands on deck. This new painting is appropriately titled. I love how it came together with all the details. It is 9x12 done on stretched cotton and linen. I will be announcing my July Giveaway either this afternoon or tomorrow. Please check back. I have also completed a large commission painting that I will post an image of on this blog as soon as my client receives it. She should be the first to see it. For sale in my Etsy shop.
