Fine Art Giveaway Winner!

Hi Everyone,

Melinda Bernard is the winner this month of my Giveaway. Congratulations Melinda and thanks for following my blog.

Hello Out There.

I can't remember where, but I came across an image of this girl under her umbrella. I knew it would work into a painting at some point. Then this past weekend a conservation came up at dinner with one of my sisters about our 30 something nieces and nephews, and how young people are getting married later in life.

BTW the Jewelry store in the background is Dorfmans on Newbury Street in Boston.

This painting is 11x14 done with acrylics on stretched cotton. It is for sale in my Etsy shop.

APRIL GIVEAWAY!

April is well underway, and it's time for my monthly giveaway. April is Autism Awareness month. Since blue is the color most associated with autism, I will be giving away this 8x10 fine art reproduction. Printed on heavy weight acid free matte paper with archival inks. Lovely quality.

All you have to do is : Become a follower of this blog. The winner will be chosen April 24th and posted on this blog.

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.

Chinoiserie Style

I am so excited about my new painting and my new love, "Chinoiserie."

Chinoiserie, a French term, signifying "Chinese-esque", refers to a recurring theme in European artistic styles since the seventeenth century, which reflect Chinese artistic influences.^[1] It is characterized by the use of fanciful imagery of an imaginary China, by asymmetry in format and whimsical contrasts of scale, and by the attempts to imitate Chinese porcelain and the use of lacquerlike materials and decoration.

This painting stands 8x10 and the sides have been painted so no frame is needed unless wanted. It is for sale in my Etsy shop. SOLD

Manhattan Interior

My newest painting, a New York theme with Greek, Italian, and French influences. I especially loved creating the fireplace screen and patterned rug. 18x24 done on stretched cotton. For sale on my web site
