This painting is based on a Ralph Lauren ad campaign that I loved this past Fall. I can’t believe this is my last painting for the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge! Whew!
Tomorrow I will post my thoughts as I reflect back on this experience and also collage of all my works (if I can figure out how to do that!).

I 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….

On one hand, I love the crowded furniture in this scene.
On the other hand, I am not thrilled with the figure. Thank goodness I am taking a figure painting class!
I also decided to add an abstract version of this painting. My question to you, “to abstract or not to abstract?”…

Ah, I love this modern chair, looking like it’s relaxing in the sunlight. Sometimes I feel my furniture has a personality…

Eric, do you recognize this painting? Yes, it is based on the beautiful photograph you took at one of my projects (hint: Tremont St.). I adored painting it! The reflection in the mirror was fun…hope you like it!

Yes, you are right, I did miss a day.
It has been a really, really, really long and emotional week for me…family events. That being said, today I am renewing my spirit by cleaning my closets from top to bottom and I should be ready to be back at my easel tomorrow. Today’s entry is a favorite of mine from when I was just starting to paint interiors…

“I can paint a sofa in 30 strokes in 30 minutes”
Well, almost! I was in a bit of a rush today ~ drove to Portland, Maine and back ~ whew! This painting was indeed an exercise in getting the strokes down and the values….I hope I got it!

I love light fixtures, some might say it is a fetish! I even have a chandelier in my closet, doesn’t everyone? Not surprisingly, I also adore painting them. This one is very loose, I hope you like as much as I do…

Yes, I know I missed Day 17 ~ not in my life thank God, it was actually a very full day. I just couldn’t paint outside of class. I am sooo disappointed in myself for not completing a painting. However, I did have the chance to do many other wonderful things ~ no regrets! I am back today…kind of. This painting is an old favorite (not a new work)…

This is a 30 minute painting today. I used another Christopher Guy design as my inspiration and added gold leaf underneath the painting. I love the sheen, do you?

Wednesday is always a tough middle-of-the-week day for me. It seems I’m constantly running a bit behind and yet the end of the work week is still quite a ways off. In order to give myself a little bit of a respite, I opted for a truly petite painting of my favorite piece of furniture: the chair.

Please forgive the glare on this photo, I finished after dark so I couldn’t shoot it in daylight (which makes a big difference ). I found this painting to be very meditative which I needed today…all good!

“What the New Year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the New Year.”
~Vern McLellan
Each year when January rolls around, I set aside some time to reflect and set my intentions (a sweeter, gentler word for resolutions) for the New Year.
Usually I am excited for a fresh start, but this year I am finding the start of 2014 to be bittersweet. For example, last year at this time I was very excited about the beginning of 2013 for so many reasons ~ one of the biggest was

Voila, day 13 and I’m barely standing! I loved this photo which I took from a magazine. It is a very full design with books and jars and pillows and all kinds of decorative accessories…

Today’s painting is a bit abstract and depicts a row of yellow Parisian subway seats. I was inspired by a book I received for Christmas from my daughter Emily, Paris in Color.

This one is from my archives. I was working on one with eclipses and was just not satisfied with how it was going. I didn’t want to post a painting that I was not happy with. Let’s see what tomorrow brings after a long, good nights sleep.
