| 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 on this one in order to be able to fit them in the canvas without having to lose too much detail. Now to paint some sunflowers.

There are a few pieces left that are starting at $25.
I must not forget to say a HUGE thank you for ALL your support. Your encouragement and your desire to have my paintings in your home is more than special to me.
It is truly an honor. THANK YOU!!!!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Vicki. I try to paint things other than roses, but they are sneaky and seem to end up in most paintings. Carolina

DeleteBonjour Carolina Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind message on my blog.
I think your paintings are just amazing!! And I was stuned to see how some of them (especially the rose with blue vase) are so close to some photos I did.
You're incredibly talented, bravo!!

Marie-Paule
Marie-Paule, thank you for your kind words. I fell in love with your color pallet--all the gorgeous whites and creams with greys, dusty rose, and blues sprinkled throughout. Oh, it is all so very inspiring. Also, I had never thought to use gingham with willow wear porcelain, but it looks wonderful together. Warm greetings, Carolina

Sophia, thank you for your words and sharing your beautiful photos. I wanted a vegetable garden, but I had to convince my hubby that it would actually make our yard look more like a finished idea and not a hodgepodge of beds and planters. Your photos seem to accomplish the look that I am after. I wish you a lovely day. Greetings, Carolina

Dear Hélène, I had so much fun view all your photos. I was thrilled to find it. Thank you for registering to my blog and for your lovely compliments. Kindest regards, Carolina
DeleteLovely floral painings!
ReplyDeleteI love the softness of the petals that you have captured here in the vase.
Thank you so very much. I love roses, and David Austin are a passion for me also. I purchased about 20 of them two years ago and this year they kept getting eaten by something. I thought it was grasshoppers, but come to find out bunnies had made my garden their little home. I don't mind them staying in the yard, but I do so love my roses. So, I had to chop up some garlic and sprinkle it around the roses. Now they are getting new growth and I couldn't be happier. The bunnies to continue to live in the garden.
DeleteBeautiful !!! Věra
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment! Sorry it took me so long to pop over and say "Merci" -- I am trying to get really back into blogging and it's a slow start! I absolutely LOVE the flo blue painting! I love those dishes!!!! I wish I "knew" how to paint. My art skills are such an underdeveloped talent it's very sad. Your work is just lovely.
