Traveling via Paintings

German Pitcher and Clementines,  Oil on  5"x7"   Linen PanelSold
There is this wonderful shop near our home that sells cheese from around the world. Right now, my favorite is Caña de Oveja, a deliciously creamy sheep cheese from Spain. 

I also purchased the blue and white pitcher  from Leah. Like most things that I love, I want to make captures of them in paint. The blue and white always tempt me to draw something orange or gold. It must have something to do with Boutlet's little discovery.     

As far as the roses go, I have been frantically taking photos of all the roses I can find, anticipating cold weather and the long rest of my rose bushes.

Labor of Love

Sunflowers in Cobalt Blue Vase,   Oil on 5 "x7"   Linen Panel SOLD  Private Collection in San Saba, TX First, I must say that everything I paint is because I absolutely love. I don't like to paint things that I don't find to be attractive to me for one reason or another. Sometimes it's sentimental reasons and other times it's as simple as beautiful colors or the texture. Either way, it's something that I want to capture and stare at for long periods of time. I want to study it and how it affects the environment around it, as in the case of Sunflowers in Cobalt Blue Vase does. In that respect, I feel ALL my paintings are a labor of love.  More often than not, I have to create a painting, wipe it all down, and start all over again if something is just not working. Some never get completed and I just end up painting something totally different on that panel. Then there are some, that I just have to paint, no matter how much trouble they are giving ...

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...
