I was contacted by one of my customers who had purchased one of my Eiffel Tower paintings and she wanted to commission me to paint a smaller painting to go with the Eiffel Tower.  So I decided to paint a typical French flower market that you will see all over Paris.  She absolutely loved it and bought it right away.  This 9 x 12 will hang above the 12 x 16 Eiffel Tower in a young girls bedroom.  What a lucky little girl!

My first Turks & Caicos painting!  I couldn't wait reliving my week on the perfect beach in Providenciales Island in the Turks & Caicos.  The wind was warm, the water turquoise, the sand soft & white.  A wonderful vacation.  I recommend this island to everyone.  I think I captured the perfect day there in this landscape.  The beaches go on forever.  You can walk and walk and never get to the end.

"The Tuscan Farm"

SOLD!!!

Finally, I sold a painting at the Gallery Underground (formerly the Northern Virginia Art Center).  We had an open house last night to showcase the new studio spaces as well as the new name for the gallery and I sold this lovely Tuscan painting.  I'm so happy.  We opened the Gallery Underground at the end of July 2012 so it's taken me about 8 months to sell my first painting there.  I'm really hoping that this is the beginning of many more sales to come.  It really is a great space if you haven't seen it yet.  We have 40 artists there that include painters, potters, sculptures, jewelers, and glass artists.  Every month we change the show so I have new paintings there at the beginning of the month.  We also have special juried shows.  Next month we are doing a juried show of animal paintings as a fundraiser for the Animal Welfare League.  I will have lots of fun animal paintings.  Put Friday, April 12th on your calendar as that will be our reception from 5-8pm.

Another painting sold on Etsy!  This painting really makes me want to take off for Paris to see the flowers blooming and take in some art museums.  I actually have been to Paris in spring and it was a little chilly.  But I always enjoy dreaming and painting about places I've been or want to go.  I will be visiting France again this summer.  I'll be in Provence, Burgundy, and Paris.  Looking forward to things blooming here in D.C. soon.

Every month I enter a juried show at the Alexandria Art League.  Usually these shows have a theme.  I painted this painting last year for a show that had to do with "Curves".  Luckily, I was accepted into the show.  I chose to use pastel colors and to mesh the background together.  I did not sell the painting during the show but just now sold it on Etsy from my store.  I'm so happy that this painting will have a home to hang in!  Just back from Providenciales in Turks and Caicos.  I am ready to paint some Island paintings!  So look forward to new work coming soon.
