I have begun working on a group of new paintings. Tomorrow I will be posting one of them. I will try to add a new one or two every week in my Etsy shop, in between commission pieces.

August Giveaway

I meant to post this last night. I have decided to stick with another framed fine art print for August. This reproduction is from my original painting, "Sweet William," which I believe has found a nice home in Texas. Speaking of Sweet William, I noticed mine coming back again in my overgrown but good intentioned garden. Looks more like Grey Gardens if you know what I mean! I have become a huge fan of Chinoiserie items over the past few years and love to incorporate them into my work.

All you have to do to be entered into my Giveaway is to leave a comment here about your favorite flower. That's it. I will pick the winner on Saturday August 28th.

I am getting ready for an art show in Ogunquit ME for anyone who is in the area on Thursday August 26th. Please stop by and say hello!
