Floral Design

Here is a small floral painting I finished today. I love all the color combinations and abstract flower shapes I used here. 8x10 on stretched cotton. for sale in my Etsy shop.

Miss Coral 's Garden

Here is my second whimsical pattern painting. Coral doesn't represent anyone I know personally, but I imagine that if you found someone sitting in a chair under the sea, this is probably what she would look like~ This piece is 11x14 done with acrylics on stretched cotton. The sides have been painted so it can be hung with out a frame. For sale in my Etsy shop.

Birds In Paradise

This is my latest painting. I have uploaded the largest view of this image so you can see all the detail. I have been forever influenced by William Morris. His work makes my heart jump when ever I see it. This is the first in a series of decorative style pattern paintings. I can see this design as wallpaper in my home. This piece is 11x14 done on stretched cotton. The sides have been painted so no frame is necessary. It is available for sale in my Etsys shophttp://www.etsy.com/shop/catherine47 sold

Dark Horses and Ranunculus

Here is another painting I finished today. I guess I have horses on the brain. They are such a sweet, elegant animal. Also, I just signed up Sam for riding therapy. It's funny how things pop up in my paintings from my subconscious.
