Sophia's Empty Pagoda Vase

Now available as an open edition fine art print in my Etsy Shop.  www.catherine47.etsy.com           The  commission I have been working on  is almost complete.  Very excited to show my customer. 

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
