Up on Ebay

I have gotten so many comments on this one so I thought I would post about it.  This painting started with such a zestful feeling in my  heart - that usually bodes well for a painting.  I was a little concerned about the composition since the whole painting was taken from my memory and imagination.  I didn't use any studies or pictures. .. so I had to get creative with light and color to achieve balance and focus.  The dog is based on our dog Finnbar and the cat on our cat Jackson.  

I painted this right after I was recovering from the flu and I wanted to paint comfort. 

Thank you to all the artists and art lovers who emailed me about this one.  Sometimes it is hard to know how well you did in that solitary studio.

Mary!

Well this one was a suggestion from one of my wonderful patrons.  I just love the way this one turned out.  I  put it up on ebay as Buy it Now or Best Offer so she had a chance to buy since we were co-creators with this one.  However, like Angel Helen I think I am having another ebay glitch.  The buy it nows doesn't seem to be showing up in the search.   Hmmm..... Here's the link and if it doesn't appear by tomorrow I will have to do some revising and put it up on Etsy or as an auction. 

Thanks for stopping by!!!!!!!!

Sunflowers

A friend of mine said she liked the Sunflower painting that is up on Etsy so I got on a bit of Sunflower jag.  There is something so happy and well I guess sunny about them.  I used some pictures and sketches I had from when we were in Tuscany last year.  When we were there in September the flowers were really just fading but I used my imagination and brought them back to life.  I just wish you guys could see these in person - the paintings are so much more vibrant -- ah well.

What's new here- Keep Dancing!

Keep Dancing is on Ebay tonight.

I really enjoyed painting this one.  I just started with the thought of pink shoes and movement and went from there.  Thanks for looking!

I am relisting Helen tonight.

Something was wrong with this listing.  It just wasn't showing up in search results.  To ebay's credit they did issue me a refund.  I pulled the listing and will relist it tonight.  I will provide a new link when it's up.  Thanks for staying tuned :)

On Ebay This Week

Angel Helen

For some reason she is not showing up in the search listing so I thought I would provide a direct link.  Must be an ebay bug or something.

Welcome Autumn

Where have I been? Getting Married!!!

The Wedding was beautiful and magical but we are still both exhausted - so many details!  Whew.  We had nearly 50 people come in from out of town and most of them were at our house the night before the wedding.  It was great!  During the reception I realized I had forgotten to wear something blue.  However when we finally got home and I started pulling the pins out of my hair I realized I had left a blue hot roller in my hair the whole time.  That was how dazed I was!  I don't think anyone saw it because of the veil but I was laughing.  Well I got my blue!  The flower girls walked down the aisle to Down to the River to Pray.  And the recessional was America the Beautiful done by Ray Charles.  Dancing and cocktails were on the big back porch of this beautiful Southern Plantation.  Dinner was in the gorgeous dining room.  All my girlfriends were running around the house playing Gone With The Wind.  It was just wonderful!  I need a couple days to recover and then I will be painting!  See you all soon.
