I can't wait to finish it....but, there is a sidewalk sale in Charlotte at Cheap Joe's Art Supply in the morning... AND.... I have not finished painting the fence yet and tomorrow should be warm enough to finish. Well, so much to do so little time!

Two More Green Pears, New Painting Today!

Two More Green Pears

6" x 6" Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

Sorry, I have not been around.....my mother is here for a visit and we went to Atlanta this past weekend to see my sister graduate from college. Yeah! We had a wonderful road trip.

This is the last of the small canvas. I will have to get some more of these soon. But first! While on the road trip I picked up a new Flow Blue Pitcher. It will be the center of new still life paintings to come.

I also have an orchid in bloom. My little plant that has sat quietly in my studio has come to life with three magnificent blooms. This will be featured with my new little Japanese teapot in a still life.

I have new martini paintings on the way and I am still working on the "Monet-like" pond garden painting. This should keep me busy for a while.

I would like to thank all my new "fans" on Facebook! Thanks for keeping up with my art!

Well, I had better go.... so much to do, so little time.

I am exhausted!! Courtney is home and there is something going on all the time. I am having trouble finding time to paint. There is so much laundry! The cooking and the cleaning that I can usually avoid is definitely here for the holidays! Miranda has been taking over my art room....she gets into my stuff!!! Sure, she was in the Fine Arts Program at UNC....but it is MY STUDIO---well now, that's off my chest, I feel better now.

This is my newest painting and I am quite proud of it. I had a collector in Finland ask me to paint more lemons.....so I did! I bought a big bag of lemons and got busy. Ideas of what to paint for me is the hardest thing. Thanks Sari for the suggestion....I hope you enjoy the series of lemon paintings to come.

Lemons and Blue Bowl is available for purchase in my eBay store, Etsy.com, and ArtByUs.com.

Tonight I have to finish the family Christmas cards, tomorrow we are making the gingerbread house. Hopefully, I can sneak painting in here and there...

Thanks for stopping by and your continuing support!

"The Pears" will be listed for auction on eBay today. This painting was done using the same muted gray-green tones in the background as was used for the Flow Blue paintings. I bought an new Flow Blue pitcher today. I will be using it another Flow Blue painting, hopefully starting it tonight. I will be doing a larger painting using these Flow Blue pieces in group together. Probably starting it by the end of the week.

Well, off to the post office. I am sending the portrait swap painting to Austria today. I hope Nic and Murphy like their new painting.

Thanks for checking in.
