Isabella Plays The Mandolin

I love the sight and sound of the mandolin.  Here is Isabella from Florence Italy.  Her father, a wealthy silk merchant, has arranged for her to marry Phillip - whom she does not love. No, I haven't been breathing in too much paint.  Have a beautiful weekend.  Catherine

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.

Earth Tones New painting

I wish I owned this white couch and the pillow too.  This is my newest painting.  It has a little bit for everyone!  Oceans, earth, stars,  birds, telescopes and an  interior scene.  I have been drawn to more muted earth tones lately.  This could be a holding pattern.  This painting is 11x14 for sale in my Etsy shop. 

Eve Enchanted

 As I worked  in my studio yesterday, painting (with my slippers on) to the sound of snow blowers and shovels scrapping I realized how  fortunate I am to work at home.  There's no bad weather to keep me from getting to my job.  The gray days though,  have made me think more about Gauguin and Matisse's work full of warm and bright colors.  This new painting is 11x14 for sale on etsy.

I Never Promised You A Rose Garden

This is my first new painting of 2011.  I have another right behind this one but will post it tomorrow hopefully.  It feels great to get back to work.  Many new pieces coming.

Growing Pains

I decided to go in a more whimsical direction with this latest painting.     I wanted to bring together my love of interiors, textiles and nature (I know very Matisse like .)  You can make up your own story as you look at this seated woman.  She ended up looking a lot like my third oldest sister Susan in a way.  This was not my intent but it works for many reasons.

This painting is 11x14 .  stretched canvas.  For sale in my etsy shop

Matisse's Room

By now you must know I love Matisse. A lot of people do. The colors, the interiors, the scenes. It's obviously more than that but I d rather stop there.

I spent an overnight with my FIVE sisters. It was a quite interesting, and inspiring 24 hours. Being the youngest, and the oldest 60 years young, I have been exposed to wisdom well beyond my years on a regular basis. That can be a good thing and a bad thing.
I feel like the woman in this painting. I think too much. I tend to over analyze everything to the point of exhaustion. I could go on and on about this. I probably will. For now, this painting was created in 2007. It was 11x14. It has sold but I get many requests for reproductions.
