This is the newest painting in the Martini Series.
I have been commissioned to paint the complete Flow Blue Series for a collector. I will be busy with that for a while. I will try to work in a few new small paintings in between.
The weather has been absolutely beautiful! The flowers are blooming and the hydrangeas are going to be perfect this year. Look for floral paintings in the near future.

Grandma's Lemons, New Painting!

Grandma's Lemons

8" x 10" Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
Available for Purchase
$30.00 plus $8.00 shipping

This lemon press/juicer has been used to make lemon pies for five generations of my family. I had bought a bag of lemons to use in still life arrangements --after taking reference photos....we made a pie.
My apologies for my gallery being down for the last few days. EBSQart.com which hosts my gallery lost a server. The new server is in place and the gallery is again up and running and even faster!
Currently working on new martini paintings. These should be done hopefully by the end of the long weekend.
I am really going to finish the landscape paintings in the studio.....the Monet style pond and the poppy landscape are on their way to being completed.
I have to weed the flower bed and plant the tomatos---then back to painting!
Thanks for stopping by!

New Painting! Flow Blue with Lemons is the newest in the Flow Blue series. Finished this one last night. This is my favorite Flow Blue pitcher. It will probably be painted again---maybe with pears.

Hi Honey, I'm Home!

Back from the Beach!


Me and my fabulous new camera are home from the beach. I took this picture from my fifth floor hotel room balcony of the birds on the beach. I had a marvelous time. The staff at the Patricia Grand Resort were very nice and the three days went by too fast! I took several pictures of children playing in the surf and on the beach. There will be watercolors of the vacation coming soon.

The baby is coming home for two weeks from Chapel Hill before she starts the summer classes. We will be grilling out and bonding before she leaves home again. She will also bring home great new ideas for paintings.

Well, I better get going. 250+ emails to catch up on and tons of sandy laundry.

Thanks for stopping by!

To the BEACH!!

GONE TO THE BEACH!
I am doing my part to stimulate the economy! I have taken my $600.00 from the Government and gone to the beach! I will be back when the cash runs out...
Look for new watercolors of the beach and other new fun paintings when I get home.
