    1. Jan, you are very kind. I am learning more every time I paint. I just decided that is what I was going do learn about 5 years ago, bought paints, brushes and a few books and got to work. I still ask lots of questions from the many artists that know better than me. :)

  6. While I remain in awe of artistic talent of all kinds, there is something about an artist who paints or draws that is special to me; knowing that the artist not only created a work of art, but touched the piece while creating it with their hands seems sacred to me. Love your work! Am glad to have found you via The Enchanted Home! Best,
    Colleen

  8. Thank you, Donna. I can't claim that I "taught myself" to paint, as I feel that the generous answers to my questions by other artists have helped me a great deal throughout the way. I also study a lot of the works of old master and pay special attention to the different layers of paint and the motion of their brushstrokes. We are all so fortunate in our time to have so many wonderful resources. Thank you for your kind words and your visit. Kindest regards, Carolina

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...
