New Pear Painting! Green and Red Pears

Green and Red Pears
6" x 6" Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
$25.00
This new painting is available for purchase at my website www.torriesmiley.com or just click the link above.
The weekend is almost here! I love weekends--lots of painting to do. I do have to go to Charlotte to pick up canvas on Saturday. I have a commission that requires a special canvas.
I will be starting a landscape this weekend. It will be posted by Monday if I like it.
I am in the mood to paint something different.....a departure from what I usually do, I just haven't decided what it is yet. Among the possibilities...portraits, horses....cows....you can tell I am getting homesick for Texas when I start painting western art.
Etsy meeting in Gastonia on Saturday! I can't wait! Panera Bread and lots of fun!
Well, better go for now.

Pear with Strawberries, New Painting

Finally a new painting!
Pear with Strawberries
6" x 6" Acrylic on Canvas

I have finally made it back to the Studio to paint, so I started with something small. The website is up and running, eventhough Courtney does not like it. Courtney was home this weekend from Chapel Hill. She came home to pick up birthday presents and eat cake. She is turning 20---I am getting old!

I do plan on participating in the eBay boycott, my store will be closing February 14, 2008. This painting is available for purchase directly from me by clicking on the link at the title, or you can purchase from Etsy.com or ArtByUs.com. There are links to all my stores at www.torriesmiley.com

I will be painting more Martinis this week. I have been out of the studio for so long, there is so much to do.

Thanks for stopping by.

eBay Boycott

eBay Boycott!

I will be joining the eBay Boycott.
I will be closing my eBay store, effective 2/14/08.
I have been disappointed with eBay of late and feel it is best at this time to close the store. If you would prefer to continue to purchase my work from eBay, just let me know, and I will list a specific painting for you with a Buy it Now. I am so sorry for any inconvenience this may cause my wonderful collectors-Torrie
I have added PayPal buttons to the paintings that are available for purchase in my EBSQart.com gallery to allow for direct purchase from me.
Here is a link to the gallery:
If you have any questions, just email me at:
Thanks for your continuing support.
I will be back in the studio this week. I have not painted in so long....it is time!
