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 ...
Coming over from Tina's blog:) Your paintings are beautiful. We are in the midst of a building project and I will be needing art at some point. I will follow your blog and look forward to following along.

These are lovely. As always, I love the touches of blue and white in your paintings.
ReplyDeleteHave I told you that I lived in Edmond for years? It's a beautiful city, & I miss it.
cheers,

Keri, your words are soooo very sweet. I did not know you had been an Edmond resident. That is awesome and yes, it is a beautiful city. We have deer and turkeys that come by and visit us in the early mornings or late in the evenings. Thank you for coming by to visit my blog. Please, come again. Carolina
ReplyDeleteLeslie, how kind of you for visiting my blog and saying such delightful words and Tina for sharing. I am thrilled! My teaching limits the amount of time I spend painting. However, starting late May is the beginning of my painting season. If you haven't already, at the top right corner is the e-mail subscriptions for new posts. I only post when I have new work and I put it for auction on eBay. Thank you for the honor of your visit. -Carolina
