A bit more Flow Blue (or Flo Blue)

Pink Roses in Flow Blue,  Oil on 6"x6" Linen Panel

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!!!!

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

    1. 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

    1. 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

    1. 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.

  7. Thanks 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.

    Be sure to come and like my FB page if you haven't already. I appreciate your support.

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

The Apple Tree that Could

Peonies in Glass Vase,   Oil on 5 "x7"   Linen Panel SOLD Private Collection in Lebanon, IN  Green Apple,   Oil on 6 "x6"   Linen Panel S OLD Private Collection in  NewCanaan, CT    This little painting is of an apple from an apple tree on our property. I've been babying it for about four years now. To my surprise, last year it finally gave apples. However, after a couple of days of seeing the tree with lots of apples adorning its branches, I took my daughter to see the little miracle, but ALL the apples were gone. She looked at me as though I was trying to pull her leg. This year, the tree was filled with even more apples. I hope they mature well so that I may share with my neighbor that's been admiring it.  Still Life with Chanel,   Oil on 5 "x7"   Linen Panel S OLD Private Collection in Pacifica, CA
