A Poem & A Painting: Inspired by Southern Home Magazine & Rivers Spencer
Jul 18 2016 ·0I am back after a heavenly week in Philadelphia with Daisy, Emily, and Nick. I am thrilled to say that Daisy is making great strides and what a privilege it was to witness her progress in person!
In between snuggling, feeding, walking, and kissing Daisy, I did manage to do a bit of painting. As I have mentioned before, it is near impossible to travel with oil paints. I find that my watercolor palette is perfect for travel and my watercolor “sketches” are a great base to work from later. This week’s painting was inspired by a Southern Home magazine cover featuring a living room designed by Rivers Spencer. While Tony Bennett may have left his heart in San Francisco, I certainly left mine in Philadelphia…

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!

Posh Pinterest Board of the Week: Antique With Modern
Nov 18 2013 ·0I love a good contrast, the visual friction that contrast creates is a key element in a good design ~ whether in an interior space or a piece of artwork. This week’s Posh Pinterest board features pins that highlight the contrast of old and new in interiors: Antique With Modern.
Here are a few of my favorite pins…

Girls Just Wanna Paint
Jun 04 2012 ·0As many of you know, along with being an interior designer I am also an oil painter. I am constantly working to improve my skills by taking classes with local artists and painting as frequently as possible. What a thrill it was then when I was recently invited to join the women artists of Girls Just Wanna Paint.
"I Love Red" 6x6 oil on board by Mary Sheehan Winn
Formed in 2009, Girls Just Wanna Paint is group of 12 artists who challenge themselves each month to incorporate a selected object or idea into a painting. The paintings are posted at the beginning of each month on the Girls Just Wanna Paint blog where we invite your comments and feedback.
"Brush With Great Effort..." by Kelley MacDonald 6"x6"
The group meets during the first week of every month. We view each other’s work in person, enjoy some great food and wine, and decide what the next month’s subject will be. This is a collection of serious artists who also have a lot of fun–right up my alley!
I am delighted to be a part of this esteemed group of women. Most of the artists are professionals and teachers and all are very inspiring. Their individual spirit and soul comes through in their work. I invite you to visit the Girls Just Wanna Paint site and peruse the artists’ websites and blogs. I guarantee you will fall in love with their work as I have~
My next painting as part of the Girls Just Wanna Paint group will be up at the beginning of July. As a complement to this new venture, I am pleased to announce a new weekly feature on my blog. Each week at the end of one of the blog posts (typically Pamela’s Posh Picks) I will be sharing one of my petite Interiors oil paintings. I would love to hear your feedback on these paintings. Of course I am also open to painting custom pieces of your special Interior space in oil. These works can be framed or reproduced as beautiful stationery.
"Let the Fun Begin" by Pam Copeman
I hope you will enjoy this new feature and look forward to sharing my painting journey with you!
xo,
Pamela
