People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

I am working on a really large painting this week.  It may be a while but I'll keep you posted. It is so beautiful out today.  Climate change or not, glad I got out early to walk. 

Donatella's Arrival~New Work

   I have so much to say about this painting.  First of all, I wish you could see her in person because again,  my photograph does not fully capture the details.  I was definitely inspired  by some Frida Kahlo paintings  as well as vintage fashion photography.  Love Pinterest!   I wanted to bring together my love of flowers, with textiles, and fashion.  People often ask me who the women are in my paintings.  I have no idea~they just evolve but  all look a bit similar I think. Going forward I plan on doing more work that reflects my Italian heritage.   This painting is 20x24 painted on a cradled birch wood panel.  The sides are painted to match therefore it can be left unframed if desired.  Thank you for looking.  Catherine

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up. ~Pablo Picasso

I've been working on a new piece I am pretty excited about.  For now here is a painting I did back in the spring of 2011.  This piece has sold.

 Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. Rober Frost 

 

Back in the studio

It's feels great to be back working in my studio again.  I actually cleaned my space and have a new easel.  This is what I am  working on.  Thanks for looking.
