    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?

      Hello Carol,
      Thank 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

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...

June

Hydrangeas in Glass Vase,   Oil on 4 "x8"   Linen Panel SOLD Residence in Durham, New Hampshire I received he flowers on these paintings from my gardener friend, Judith Miracle. She asked me to take part with her in a floral design show. Although I did with a bit of fear, as I had never done anything like that before, she helped me be brave. I took a bunch of flowers and props I use for my oil paintings. I was honored with the Petite Award for one of my small arrangements and I couldn't have been happier. Judith was so generous with her lovely flowers from the show and gave them ALL to me. I have several other paintings on the works in which I try my best to do them justice.  Pink Hydrangeas in Crystal,   Oil on 4 "x6"   Linen Panel SOLD Private Collection in Durham, New Hampshire Strawberry Trio,   Oil on 4 "x4"   Linen Panel
