Her Majesty The Queen.....................

Finally finished.   This new painting gives me the opportunity to showcase my love of fabric and patterns. What do you think?

This is about the third time I have included a barn owl in one of my   painting.   Have you ever really looked at one of these magnificent  creatures?  I guess I was subconsciously thinking about October!  Yes, that is an artichoke staff she holds   This piece is 16x20 painted on stretched canvas .  Thanks for looking.  Catherine

Claire's Leaving Home

This is the last painting I will be posting before my show in Boston this Sunday.    I am forever inspired by so many Beatle songs.   “She’s Leaving Home,” (one of my favorites) is what helped me come up with the idea for this woman whom I have named Claire. Claire’s leaving home after living alone for so many years.  I decided to paint her in an early Picasso type style which I like very much.  This painting is 16x20 painted on canvas.

The Botanical Queen

I adore art from the Renaissance period. I love the rich colors, beautiful clothing and landscapes. This is where my inspiration came for "The Botanical Queen. " She isn't based on anyone I know but she is contemplative yet peaceful. Although she is Queen, she chooses to pick her own flowers from the royal garden.

This new painting is 16x20 painted on linen and cotton. The sides have been painted so no frame is needed. For sale in my Etsy shop soon. Long Live The Queen.
