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

Multi~tasking?

I'm back.  I have been pretty busy in the studio the past two weeks.  I am working on a commission and a few new pieces and a bit of an experiment all at the same time.    I should be reporting back with a few new pieces very soon.    Catherine 

Strike A Pose

This is the first of three new paintings I will  be posting before my show on Saturday.   My thoughts were all over the place when I started this piece.  I knew I wanted to do something with red in it and a Tonkinese cat.  I decided  not to  paint a lot of things on the walls, as I tend to do, because I wanted the wallpaper itself to tell a story.  The size is 11x14 painted on stretched canvas.  For sale in my Etsy Shop. 

Sophia's Pagoda Vase Is Empty

        

Must be Friday since I have completed  another painting. Sophia needs some flowers for her vase. She is fortunate that she can simply walk outside and have her pick. Can you tell what my influences were for this piece?  Hopefully, like Sophia,  I will be able to walk outside and have my pick of flowers once the sun comes back!  This new painting is 11x14 done on stretched canvas for sale in my Etsy  Shop.

Have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for stopping by.

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.

Queen Of Hearts

Every time I see a deck of cards, it reminds me of being 10 years old, playing Slap Jack or Crazy Eights on a towel at Seabrook beach. Instead of paying attention to the cards I was dealt, I was busy looking at the intricate designs of the King, Jack and Queen. Some cards are quite beautiful.

This is my newest painting done with acrylic paints on stretched cotton. The Queen of hearts stands 8x10. Available for sale in my Etsy shop.
