I needed to cut one of my larger linen panels to fit a frame I had gotten (I know, that’s a bit backwards, but I love the frame). Well, I had leftover pieces of linen panel and this week I did a couple of paintings on them; the one of the bowl and the one of the plum above. I had so much fun that I cut a larger linen panel into smaller pieces to do more mini- miniature paintings. It is a blast and feels so-not-stressful.
I also worked on a few larger pieces that are considered miniature to many artists, but to me they are pretty large. One is that of the flowers, which I finished with the help of artists friends like Carla Anglada, Tracey Harris, and Juan Jr. Ramirez, who were so gracious to give me advice on painting white flowers. They are great master artists that I so very much admire.
Of course, I still need much practice, but it is a definite improvement. Thank you, my dear artist friends. Oh, the flowers I got from A Date with Iris. They were leftover from a wedding. Hooray for want-not-waste-not!
The painting of the plum (“On My Easel” on the right side of the page) is what I am working on right now. The alabaster bowl, looks nothing like alabaster, and at this point, not even a well-made vessel, which it is. AHHHHHH!!!! Well, I am leaving it for another day. Tomorrow I have to get back to enameling… Sheridan owner of A Jeweler’s Art has sold out of my earrings and would like more…Yay!!! Oh, she teaches jewelry classes in her studio. They are wonderful for beginners and those with a bit of experience also. She is a master caftsperson, so you will learn so much. You can find out more about her classes on her website.

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...
