This is going to be a busy week.  Bride #2 shows up on Tuesday~ leaves on Thursday, comes back with Fiance on Friday. Bride #1 comes on Friday to spend the weekend with Bride #2 and Mom-of-the Brides (me).  This is going to be the best year ever!  I will try to sneak in a painting or two when no one is looking.

I often paint compositions several times using different colors and techniques.  I have painted this composition before but the pears were green.  I wanted to do a warm red version.  I am very partial to the color red.

Getting back to Work!

I have been away just a short while, but it seems like forever! Preparations for Wedding #1 ~ the shower and house full of family took a while. We had a wonderful time...just weeks to go before the wedding. Then a bit of down time before Wedding #2 in September. Here are a few things that happened while I was playing Mother of the Bride~

Dale loved his painting and it is hanging in his office in Kansas. I love creating special paintings for customers....I get crazy trying to get everything perfect, but the pictures the client sends me of the painting in its new home is fabulous~

Red Cherries has moved away to its new home in New York~

Flow Blue and Pomegranate, one of my favorite paintings, found a home with a Flow Blue collector in Michigan.

Prints of the following pear paintings sold in my FineArtAmerica.com store to a collector in Utah~

Getting back to the studio~ I have so many paintings floating around in my head that need to be on canvas before I forget them.

DailyPaintworks.com new challenge sounds like fun and I have just the perfect model for the painting~ my dog Rudy. Watch for that painting coming soon!
