Scissors and twine , 5"x7" Oil on linen Panel S OLD One of my favorite shows, specially now that Downton Abbey is over (weep quietly), is Fixer Upper with Jo and Chip Gains. I am so thankful for all the inspiration in grays and the texture of things new in old that they incorporate in the homes they design. The Scissors with ball of twine, is one that I purchased from their website. I've already used it to tie my roses that are spreading in my front porch (I hope those roses are to become subjects for May paintings--crossing my fingers). The eggs below were gifts from a friend. She has the most beautiful collection of chickens that I have ever seen. The eggs represent the gorgeous variety.  Fresh Eggs,   5"x7" Oil on linen Panel S OLD Garlic Still Life , 4"x6" Oil on linen Panel Click to Bid Meyer Lemon Still Life , 6"x6" Oil on linen Panel Click to Bid Radish Still Life , 5"x7" Oil on linen Panel S OLD

Latour and Chanel , 6"x8" Oil on linen Panel S OLD I am grateful for family and friends, both near and far, those who I've had the fortune to know in person and those who have touched my heart from afar. Thank you for all your kindness, support, and your inspiration. I wish all of you the best and hope that you have many things for which to be thankful also.   The painting above was inspired by a book about the work of  Henri Fantin-Latour  that my daughter gave me for my birthday. The painting took a while, but it's been in my head for a while. It's nice to see in face to face. :) Sunflowers in Glass Jar , 5"x7" Oil on linen Panel S OLD Tiffany Box with Pink Rose , 4"x6" Oil on linen Panel S OLD
