Provence Window Box

"Window into Provence"

6 x 6 Canvas Board

$75.00

This week went by so fast.  We had a glorious spring day yesterday just to tease us.  I'm still trying to paint at least every other day.  I'm going back and forth between landscapes and French & Italian Paintings.  I painted this little cutie one morning this week.  I still love this new palette of colors and I'm working on my brushwork.  I still want to get the paint even thicker!  I have a show coming up at Ft. C.F. Smith Mar 23 - 30th with the Arlington Artist Alliance.  Visit my website for more details!

Sunset on the Vineyards

"Sunset on the Vineyards"

11 x 14

$249.00

I have always liked using a lot of color in my landscapes which is probably why I like to paint sunsets.  For some reason purple has always been my favorite color since I was a little girl.  I had to move around with the army and live in base housing so as soon as we moved into our own house when I was in high school I painted my room lavender.  My teenage daughters room is lavender now.  I even joined a sorority whose colors were purple and white.  Now I must confess that I love wine.  So combining my favorite color and my favorite drink and my favorite type of painting made this one so fun to paint.  I hope you like it.  I'm still experimenting with those new brush strokes.

The Long & Winding Road

"The Long and Winding Road"

11 x 14

$225.00

I'm working on my new brush work and decided to fall back on my favorite type of painting - "The Landscape".  I always tend to gravitate to landscapes.  I'm not sure if it's because they are my favorite types of paintings to look at or if it's because they are my favorite to paint.  I think this one turned out quite good.  My goal is to paint at least 4 times per week.  So far so good.  Once the weather gets warm enough I'll be painting outside!  Have a great weekend.

Floral Escape

"Floral Escape"

6 x 6 panel board

$75.00

I am having so much fun with this new palette of colors and playing with my new brushstrokes and textures that I'm creating.  Painting on these small boards allows me to experiment freely.  You could just pop it into a 6 x 6 inch picture frame and sit it on your desk to remind you that spring is on the way.  Sometimes it's hard to find time to paint everyday which is one of my goals but if I paint on a small canvas I can accomplish this.  Juggling family, part time work and art can be challenging but painting puts me in a great mood.  Today is my daughter's 18th birthday and I just can't believe how the time has flown.  I must paint more!

Western Sky Landscape

"A Little Piece of Heaven"

11 x 14

$225.00

I'm really working hard on perfecting this new technique of thicker paint and more textured brush strokes.  I'm trying to paint at least every other day and I feel like I'm making some headway.  I love the new color palette that I've been using since the Dreama workshop and am incorporating that into my landscapes which are my favorite paintings.  I hope you like this one.  Drop me a line and let me know.
