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

I love your work. I have seen it on My French Country Home and when I subscribed to your mailing list was surprised to see you live in Edmond. I live in OKC. Do you ever have showings at any art galleries in town?
ReplyDeleteHello Carol,
DeleteThank you for your kind words. Wow! The internet does make a small world even smaller, doesn't it?! It's wonderful! Just last week I realized that a blog on gardening that I've followed for a while now, is written by an Oklahoman.
As far as galleries go, I teach full time and love it! I found that when selling my work in galleries it became too time consuming to have the time or energy to teach. Every once in a while I get an invitation from a gallery and it almost makes me want to jump in again, but then I remember how much time it would require on my part and soon snap out of it. Thank you for the lovely visit to my blog. I hope you will return. Best wishes, Carolina
Happy Valentines Day!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day, also. :)
