Dreaming Of Italy

This is a new painting I just finished today. It contains so many things I love, peonies, the Italian coast, orange and green, patron saints, birds, patterns and colors. I seem to be getting a lot of mileage out of the family trip to Sicily we took back in November of 09. I never once opened my sketch book there, but my jaw was dropped most of the time. A bit overwhelming i suppose. Anyway, this painting is 11x14 done on gallery wrapped cotton and linen. It will be for sale in my Etsy shop after I email a few customers who have been inquiring about this new painting. (Exciting position to be in !)

Don't forget to leave a comment and be entered into my Giveaway for June. Hope you are having a good Monday.

One more thing. this photo does not do justice to this painting I am afraid. I labor over taking photos of my work trying to take the most accurate shot possible but today was a little too cloudy and gray and I was to anxious to wait.

Painting for Nancy

This is a commission piece I just finished for a client in Lexington , MA. I enjoyed incorporating her favorite Saint, shown on the pillow, her longing for happy times in California and her kitty, and her pet pig! Oh and she was a punk rocker in the 80's!

This painting was 16x20 done on stretched cotton and framed with a beautiful burnished gold plein air frame.

Sitting Lilly

My newest painting, "Sitting Lilly." This piece is 8x10 done with acrylic paints on stretched cotton/linen. Ever since I returned from Sicily, I have been in an orange faze. I especially love it against the turquoise tones in this painting. There is just something about orange calla lilies. My art work looks great framed however this piece doesn't require one because the sides have been painted. Don't forget about my GIVEAWAY. Just join my blog and you will be entered into the drawing. See previous post.

Charlotte's Web

Well here it is as promised. Based on New York designer Charlotte Moss. She is not only an accomplished interior designer but she is also involved in many good causes, which interests me even more. I am quite pleased with the finished product. I sent her an image of the painting. I hope to hear from her soon. This piece is 11x14 done with acrylics on stretched cotton and linen. It will be for sale in my Etsy shop soon.

The Details In The Fabric

This painting took me a bit longer than I thought. Probably one of my best pieces by far. I spent more time than usual planning it out and feel that I have become a better painter in doing so.

I am very excited about this new painting. I think I gave it a perfect title. It could be another self portrait also. The dimensions are 24x30 on stretched cotton/linen. I have always loved collages and vibrant colors. I'm in an orange faze. There's a lot to take in. As my husband says to me all the time, "breathe." Sometimes I forget.
