I'm still working hard on learning the Dreama technique on my new paintings but in the meantime I sold this little painting last night on Etsy.  It seems like lately I've been getting a lot of local buyers.  This customer lives in Washington D.C. and is coming to visit my studio to pick up her painting.  She purchased this as a gift for her husband to celebrate their anniversary.  They were married in the Carolina's.  I love it when people tell me why they are purchasing a piece of my artwork.  It makes me happy when someone is giving it as a gift.  I hope her husband likes it as much as she does!  Stay tuned for more Dreama type paintings.  I'm trying to paint something everyday.

Here is another one of my Dreama workshop paintings.  We begin drawing the painting with transparent orange paint and then block in the entire canvas with our transparent colors.  The second stage you can begin to use your opaque colors but in order to keep the sunlight in the painting use similar colors to mix and keep out the white that makes things cool.  For example to lighten the red use cadmium orange or yellow instead of white.  It really makes a difference.  Things glow using these colors.  I just love her palette & technique.  I hope to be able to translate it into the subjects I like to paint.  You can purchase this one from my Etsy store.

OMG!!! Another fabulous workshop this weekend by Dreama Tolle Perry.  I painted 4 new paintings and met tons of wonderful women who I hope will not only be future friends but mentors as well.  We had a great time.  It's so inspirational to attend a workshop by someone who really loves what they do.  So much joy was in the room.  It really was 3 perfect days (even if it was in the Comfort Inn).  I hope you like this cute paintings.  They are bright and cheery and just so springy.  You can check out my etsy store if you want to purchase any of them.  Please share my blog with your friends.  Happy spring.

SOLD!

I sold this lovely Provence painting on Etsy yesterday!  I painted this for a solo show last summer.  It was at a large restaurant in Arlington with very high ceilings so I had to break out the large canvas's and get painting.  I titled the show "Summer Escapes" so all of the paintings were of places I have traveled.  It was a great show but I only sold 3 paintings.  I'm so happy to sell one of these larger paintings to make more room in my studio!  Remember I'll be at The Gallery Underground tomorrow night for the Animal Welfare League Reception.  Stop on by and say hello and have a glass of wine.
