The Tree Of Life

Well, this isn't exactly the holiday design I mentioned in my last post. I often get side tracked and I'm glad. I started this painting early last week but was going back and forth working on my holiday card design and also a commission and feeling frustrated. Friday after a hike with my husband in the deep woods, and a little inspiration from my hero William Morris I was able to finish. This is my version of the "Tree Of Life" seen so often covering the walls in beautiful rooms. This painting is also a companion piece in a way to "Birds In Paradise" a painting I completed in the spring. 11x14 for sale in my ETSY shop.

Washington Square Outdoor Art Exhibit

I am busy trying to wrap up two new paintings before I head off to Greenwich Village for the Washington Square Art Exhibit in it's 80th year! This will be my first time exhibiting at this event and I am very excited. Tomorrow I will post my two new paintings. That will be my last entry until after the show.

Villa August

I confess I am a magazine junkie. I think I must have every house and garden magazine ever published starting from about 2000 on. Thumbing through any of them jump starts my inspiration instantly. I especially loved and miss "House and Garden." I saw this Villa in one of them from 2003.

This little number is 8x10 done on stretched cotton and linen. I am feeling more yellow and gray these days. Really. Sides have been painted so no frame is needed. For sale soon in my Etsy shop.

Art In The Village

Finally starting to get organized. I actually straightened out my Etsy Shop which was long overdue. I am working on what I consider, one of my best paintings. Hopefully it should be done by the end of the day. I have a show in Ogunquit ME on August 26Th and then a big show in NYC. Washington Square, Art In The Village. It's their 80Th year! It's hard to believe that when my mother was just born, a few artist started this show. I am really looking forward to it on Sept. 11 and 12Th.
