Feb 10 2014 ·0This week brings us Valentine’s Day. Such a sweet and magnificent Holiday ~ truly my favorite!
Seriously, can you imagine that there is a day set aside for Love?

30 Paintings in 30 Days: Day 29
Jan 29 2014 ·0I loved painting this piece. Maybe because the composition is more detailed, maybe because of the colors or maybe because I can visualize myself in this chair breathing in the fragrance of the fleurs sipping a glass of champagne….
30 Paintings in 30 Days: Day 28
Jan 28 2014 ·0On one hand, I love the crowded furniture in this scene.

Today’s entry is a favorite of mine from when I was just starting to paint interiors…
