December  Subscriber Giveaway

"Heading Home"
Evoking memories of the holiday season, this painting has been so popular that I have decided to gift not one.  but two.  6" x 10" prints to my subscribers.    
The winners will be announced here on my newsletter no later than December 31, 2016

​Additional prints may be purchased HERE

"Morning Mist"
30" x 40" Oil on gallery wrapped canvas
​click here for additional information and in room view

​The Premiere Collection is comprised of original oil paintings on a large scale.  They are the center piece of a room, entryway or workplace.  All painted around the edges and ready to hang.

A soothing and holistic piece, Morning Mist  evokes the early morning light, the smooth brush strokes of oil paint enhanced by the neutral colors against the warm, colorful and calm water setting.

​
 Soon I will be introducing my Premiere Collection.  I've been keeping these pieces hidden and can't wait to share them with you!!!

Painting on a large scale has been amazingly fun.  True, a little hard on the body but seeing all that color pop and strokes magnified has been exhilarating.

Lots of color is injected in these one of a kind oil paintings which are flowers, of course,  and something else you have not seen me paint before......

As I launch my Premiere Collection November 1st,  I will send you an email as each new piece is unveiled.
​
As always, thank you for your constant support and  subscribing to my newsletter.

"Glimmer"
40" x 30" Oil on 1.5" deep canvas

"Glimmer" is part of the new PAINTING BIG collection. Do you remember the blank canvases arriving in my studio a few months ago?  here is one of the pieces for that series.  Lately, I have been on a Peony craze with their glorious flowing petals and have painted them quite a bit. 

The larger works are not presently listed in my shopping cart.  If you are interested in viewing them or have any questions, please contact me here

In Virginia, we often see ​Mandevillas climbing on trellises yet this seemed like a novel way to plant them,  hanging lusciously over a pot.   I hope to try it now that Spring is upon us.  The medley of warm colors was captivating in this beautifully aged sienna pottery. 
 
A Happy Spring to You!

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying 'I will try again tomorrow.
--Mary Anne Radmacher, American author and artist

One of my first teachers, Richard Thorpe, said to never let a painting beat me.  At the least complete it.   Well, this piece walloped me the last 10 days.  The daisies were picked from a birthday bouquet Allen gave me and made an adorable simple still life. 
​ " I am a glutton for punishment" was my thought as I embarked on my fourth attempt and third day in the studio...  Thank goodness things worked out.  Now,  I don't have to close up my studio and give away all my art supplies :)   I hope you enjoy "Birthday Daisies"!
