Busy Painting~

Tulip Row
12" x 24"
Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
~Sold~

This painting was so much fun! This is a departure for me, more flowing brush strokes and soft edges. This is very much the way I see things without corrective lenses! I am very pleased with the way it turned out. I may have to do more paintings like this, although it is getting mixed reviews around the house with an even split in the voting........the dogs have yet to vote, but they will side with me, I give them biscuits.

Fancy Pears on Red
8" x 10"
~Sold~

Miranda helped me with this one, she told me when it was finished, that is often the very hardest part about painting, knowing when to stop.

I have purchased a very ornate heavy dark antique gold frame for this painting.

Both of these paintings will be included in the show in May at the WSOC-TV studio in Charlotte, North Carolina. They will be on display until the end of the month. They will be available for purchase in the online stores the first of June.

Well, off to painting again,

Gold Pear with Grapes, New Pear Painting!

Gold Pear with Grapes

6" x 6" Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

Gold Pear with Grapes in the newest small pear painting. It is available for purchase directly from my gallery, at eBay.com, or ETSY.com.

I am working on another small pear painting. Hopefully, it will be finished tonight. Check back again tomorrow afternoon to see if it is finished.

There is a Craft Fair in the works for October 11, 2008 in Charlotte (Craft Attack 2008). It is being hosted by a group of my Etsy Artist and Crafter friends. I will update you with more information and the website as it progresses.

Well, back to the studio. There has been so much distraction with home repairs, yard work, and the "real job" it is getting harder and harder to get into the studio to do my most favorite thing!

Check back again soon.
