Treasures from Mockingbird Manor


Painted Box with Mudman 4"x6" Oil on Linen Panel

Oklahoma has great antique shops. My favorites are the ones in Guthrie, OKC, and others in Bethany. Oh, there are some in Edmond that I enjoy visiting also. How could I forget? Like most antique shops, they are filled with all sorts of things that I recognize from some time in my past or from a past in which I’ve romanticed as a wonderful time to have been in.
The little box and the mudman from this painting I found one of my favorite shops, The Mockingbird Manor in OKC. I always come out with something great from there.

Rice Bowl with Tangelo 4"x6" Oil on Stretched Linen

The rice bowl is part of a large set that I found at the Co-Op, also in OKC.
Every year, around Valentine’s Day, we (my girls, their girl cousins, and friends) celebrate by having a “tea party.” They dress up with whatever the theme is. This year it was Asian inspired. I made a couple of kimonos and everyone took pictures under our arch that I always decorate with wisteria. Next year the theme is French. Please send me any recipes you may have for French food.

A bit more Flow Blue (or Flo Blue)

Pink Roses in Flow Blue,   Oil on 6 "x6"   Linen Panel SOLD Private Collection in  Langhorne, PA  School is about to start again and it seems when it does the Holidays are close by and time goes faster. I decided this week I would "make" things go a little slower to get myself to relax. I get a lot of inspiration from so many other blogs, for my home and for my art. So, I went to several blogs that I've loved for so long, but really got to stay for a while. It was absolutely indulging--I wish I could do that more often.  There are times when I "have to" paint a certain item and I search and search as it nags at me until I find it. That was the case with the snap dragons below. I was thrilled to find them after most of June and July searching for them. I think they are perfect with the pink carnations. Although I am also working on a painting that is just the snap dragons. I did have to go a bit bigger than my usual paintings...
