A Poem & A Painting: The Music Room
Feb 17 2014 ·1My son Freddy is a musician and it’s hard to remember a time when my home didn’t have a piano. Listening to my son play is one of my greatest pleasures…
A Poem & A Painting: Three Little Kisses
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? I just adore the idea that on this day anyone has the opportunity to tell a friend, a child (small or large), a lover, a husband or wife, or a special someone that you care for them, that you couldn’t live without them, and that your life is better because they are in it.
A Poem & A Painting: Pears
Feb 03 2014 ·0While the calendar may have flipped to February over the weekend, it is still the beginning of the New Year for Pamela Copeman Design Group. With the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge completed for January, it’s time to shake things up a bit! I’ve been hard at work behind the scenes with my team and we’ve dreamed up some new features for Posh Palettes this year which I am excited to be introducing over the course of the next couple of weeks…
30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge: Wrapping Up & Looking Ahead
Jan 31 2014 ·1What a way to jump start the year artistically: attempting to paint 30 Paintings in 30 Days!
I have been listening to Leslie Saeta and her podcasts on Artists Helping Artists for well over a year now. I have long been intrigued by the concept of her 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Prior to each new Challenge, Leslie shares an outline on how to prepare for the month. Her plan includes the obvious:
30 Paintings in 30 Days: Day 30!!
Jan 30 2014 ·0This 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!).
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.
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?”…
30 Paintings in 30 Days: Day 27
Jan 27 2014 ·0Ah, I love this modern chair, looking like it’s relaxing in the sunlight. Sometimes I feel my furniture has a personality…
30 Paintings in 30 Days: Day 26
Jan 26 2014 ·0Eric, 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!
30 Paintings in 30 Days: Day 25
Jan 25 2014 ·0Yes, 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…
30 Paintings in 30 Days: Day 23
Jan 23 2014 ·0“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!
30 Paintings in 30 Days: Day 22
Jan 22 2014 ·0I 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…

30 Paintings in 30 Days: Day 18
Jan 18 2014 ·0Yes, 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)…
30 Paintings in 30 Days: Day 16
Jan 16 2014 ·0This 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?

Furn & Co
Nov 13 2013 ·0This past week I attended a seminar at Furn & Co. at the Boston Design Center. Before the presentation started, I took a self-guided tour around the showroom and fell “head over heels” with every nook, corner and display in the store. It is maaaahvelous!
Furn & Co is a multiline showroom featuring textiles, wallcoverings, furniture, lighting, and accessories from around the world. Most of the pieces can be customized just for you and the decorative pieces can be taken home immediately!
“Furn & Co is able to…bring artistic expression into a room that melds the mind with the art”. Come and take a peek…
