I Almost Thought Spring was Here

Ginger Jar and Tazettas,   Oil on 4 "x6"   Linen Panel SOLD I was thrilled to see my tiny fig trees showing signs of spring with their lovely little, ruffled leaves. My roses are also showing off their red and green leaves, along with the lily of the valleys, which I've waiting anxiously to paint. However, Madam Winter is not yet done with us. It will be freezing tomorrow-very rare for Oklahoma at the time of the year. Maybe this means that it will make us love those hot summer days even more. I hope that where ever you are, the weather is fabulous!

Inspiration: Berthe Morisot and Manet by Caroline Champetier

Pink Rose and Brioche on Blue and White Still Life, Oil on 6 "x6"   Linen Panel SOLD Private Residence in Sydney,  Australia    Yes, it finally arrived! I love, love, love beautiful, romantic movies allow me to imagine that I could be transported to their time. Berthe Morisot and Manet by Caroline Champetier  is such a movie. It's been on my list of "wants" that I keep for my husband for a long while, but he seemed to have a hard time finding it as it was a made-for-TV French movie.            Well, not too long ago, I was surprised with it and I've watched it several times since. It is in French with no subtitles, so I can make guesses as to what they are saying. It's helped that I've read a great deal on both artists and that the movie is gorgeous, so I can't take my eyes off of it to get clues. The painting above is inspired by this beautiful movie, which I am still pinching myself to make sure that I do really get to wat...

Having Mail Troubles

Roses in Glass Vase and Petals,   Oil on 5 "x7"   Linen Panel SOLD Private Residence in Sydney, Australia         It has been brought to my attention that some of you may not be getting my e-mail updates, and several thought I was no longer posting or creating new work. As I was becoming more and more puzzled by the problem, I received an e-mail from another artist that said that he was also having a hard time and that Blogger was not planning on continuing the maintenance of the service.        After a bit of help from a wonder IT friend, I was advice to use the MailChimp service. It would be an honor if you would please sign up to e-mail updates using the new sign up on the top right hand corner. As I receive your request for subscription from MailChimp, I will remove you from the Blogger service that you signed up previously. I am so sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for you kind visits to my blog.   ...
