A Painting & A Poem: Apple Pie Tonight?

Jan 30 2017 ·0

I am still floating in bliss thanks to a heavenly weekend spent in Philadelphia with Emily, Nick, & the star of my heart, Daisy! Not waking up to Daisy’s beautiful face this morning was difficult but painting class with Diane Panarelli Miller helped ease the blow. It was great to be back with such a skillful and gifted teacher. Painting apples today had me dreaming of apple pie…

A Poem & A Painting: Orange Tulips

Jan 23 2017 ·0

When Monday starts off rainy and dreary with more to come, there’s nothing like a cheerful painting to brighten my spirits. Today’s painting is an “oldie but a goodie”. This image has me dreaming of Spring and sun drenched tulips…

A Poem & A Painting: Dreaming Of Flowers, Always

Jan 16 2017 ·1

You may recognize this week’s painting, I posted an “in progress” shot back in November. It usually doesn’t take me over 2 months to complete a painting but with design work, home renovations, the holidays and my BlogTour KBIS trip, this one took quite a while(!). I was thrilled to be able to spend time in my studio this weekend finishing it up. This is a larger canvas and I’m thrilled with how it turned out…

A Poem & A Painting: Des Marionettes

Oct 03 2016 ·0

It was a gray and rainy weekend in New England. Luckily we are in need of the rain and I was in need of some downtime for catching up on paperwork, painting, and getting ready for my Art Show at the Boston Design Center this Thursday(!).

This week’s painting was created for the October Girls Just Wanna Paint challenge of Stripes. Once again, I love how everyone interprets the theme ~ take a peek for yourself at this month’s entries here.

A Poem & A Painting: Milk Pitcher

May 16 2016 ·0

I continue to work on my painting skills in my latest class. We have painted quite a few still life compositions and I am becoming more comfortable working on a larger canvas. I love the soft colors paired with the bold brushstrokes in this week’s painting. This week’s poem attempts to capture that contrast as well. What do you think?

A Poem & A Painting: Blue Bathing Beauty

Apr 19 2016 ·0

Even though Spring has barely begun, I’m already dreaming of beach days. Maybe this is because I’m fortunate to have an ocean view out my window ~ or maybe just because I love Summer so much. Either way, this week’s painting is full of retro glam and ready to lounge under a striped umbrella sipping a fruity cocktail!

This week’s poem (excerpt) is from a 17th century English poet…

A Painting & A Poem: Christmas Lights

Apr 11 2016 ·0

Although the calendar says Spring, this week’s painting is a throwback to Winter. Considering that we had several inches of snow just last week, I think it’s fitting. I love decorating my chandelier with silver and gold ornaments around the holidays. I can’t resist the sparkle and glam! I love the way the light reflects and brightens everything.

30 Paintings in 30 Days: Day 30(!), Daily Magic

Jan 30 2016 ·0

30 Paintings in 30 Days is always a challenge because “life” happens: wrist surgery, a hospitalized Mom, and design deadlines to name a few of this month’s “life” events. That being said, it gave me joy (and perhaps increased discipline) to paint everyday. I truly feel that the only way to improve at anything is to practice!

A still life make-up table painting is the finale to this current 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge…

Jan 25 2016 ·0

I just love painting furniture, hmmmm, I wonder why? This painting was inspired by Kravet’s Etude chair. Isn’t it exquisite? I’m sure Goldilocks would love to sit here…

A Poem & A Painting: Kaleidoscope Eyes

Jan 25 2016 ·0

This is the final week of my January painting challenge and as I’ve been exploring the color wheel with my paintings, this poem, Kaleidoscope Eyes, truly struck a chord with me. I hope you enjoy it as well…

I’m still having a bit of difficulty painting due to my wrist surgery but I am determined to create 30 Paintings in 30 Days. Only 7 Days to go! Please let me know what you think so far and if there’s anything special you’d like to see me paint…

Playing catch up with the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge ~ that’s what wrist surgery will do for you! I’m on the mend now though and looking forward to finishing strong. This painting is the last in my Orange series ~ of course it had to be an Interior!
