Fall is upon us.  The cooler temperatures at night have set in.  Beginnings and endings.  School starts again but nature begins it's hibernation.  Halloween will be upon us soon.  We think of pumpkins, haystacks, costumes, and candy.  I painted this little pumpkin painting last fall.  I still love it.  It is for sale and on display next month at The Gallery Underground Crystal City from Sept 29 - Oct 27th.  Prints or giclees of this original painting are also available through my Etsy store.  Happy fall!

I just got back from 4 days in NYC taking my daughter around from modeling agencies to fashion shows.  It was a whirlwind trip.  I'm happy to be back at the easel creating.  Fall makes me think of wine and harvesting the grapes.  Since Italy is one of my favorite places I thought about painting a Tuscan Vineyard.  Such a wonderful spot in Europe.  Wish I were there now.  But a painting can take you back to a place and it's memories in a moment.  That's why art is a wonderful tool.  Hope you like it!

Our new show hung at The Gallery Underground on August 25th and 4 days later this painting sold!  I'm so happy.  That's 3 paintings at Cassatt's and one at the gallery for the month of August.  It's been so slow on sales for my Etsy store this month but this perks it all up.  The rent is paid for the next 6 months.  I've been at the beach for 10 days and not painting so back into the studio tomorrow.
