A Painting & A Poem: Autumn Apples
Oct 31 2016 ·0Is there anything more quintessentially Fall than apples? Ok, perhaps pumpkins or colorful leaves but especially here in New England, nothing says Fall like biting into a crisp, delicious apple that has been freshly picked from a local orchard. This week’s painting captures a bounty of Autumn’s tastiest harvest ~ accented by some of my favorite, not traditionally “Fall”-like, colors…
A Poem & A Painting: Rose Flower Crown
Aug 08 2016 ·0I enjoyed a delightful string of days vacationing on Nantucket last week. There’s nothing like spending quality time with dear friends you’ve had for years! Since I returned I’ve made time to be in my studio, painting. I do so enjoy the process and the challenge. In fact, I’m thinking about participating in another Leslie Saeta 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge starting on September 1st. I’ve completed several of Leslie’s “30 in 30” painting challenges, including one in January of this year. If I do decide to sign up, I always like to pick a theme for my 30 paintings. Past themes have included Interiors and Colors. I am considering “Faces” for the September challenge. And on that note, this week’s painting & poem (or quote as the case may be…)
A Poem & A Painting: Milk Pitcher
May 16 2016 ·0I 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: Daisy’s Baby Shoes
Apr 25 2016 ·1Today’s painting was created especially for my daughter Emily’s baby shower invitation. I was filled with so much brightness and love when I created this ~ and to match it with this quote made me smile. We planned the shower for this past weekend but little Daisy just couldn’t wait to meet her Mom and Dad.
A Poem & A Painting: Pink Fainting Couch (Day 10)
Jan 11 2016 ·0Today’s painting is serving the dual purpose of being Day 10 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge and my weekly Poem & Painting post. Pink Fainting Couch is the last painting in a Pink Series. I was tickled to take my inspiration from an interior by the incomparable Hunt Slonem whom I had the privilege of meeting at the Boston Design Center when he was introducing his fabric line through Lee Jofa. He is colorful, soulful and indeed a kind and lovely man. It was my pleasure to end this “Pink” series with an interior (of course) and one that features his fabric.

Emily’s Colorful Custom Bridal Shower
Mar 26 2015 ·2After months of planning, this weekend it was finally time for Emily’s Bridal Shower! On Sunday, the bridesmaids, the Brother of Honor and I hosted the festive gathering. I am so excited to share the details of this lovely occasion!
Throughout the planning process, I have been so creatively energized with custom ideas to make the day extra special. I was thrilled to see these ideas come to life for the shower.
It all started with the invitation. I feel the invitation really sets the stage for the event. For Emily’s shower invitation I hand painted the design with watercolors and then added one of my favorite quotes.

Recently I found myself in the position to make one of my longtime dreams come true. As an empty nester with a bit of extra space, it was finally time to create the closet of my dreams: an accessory closet.
As a lover of all things glam and fabulous, I’ve been amassing quite a collection of jewelry and accessories over time. Great costume pieces, bejeweled and patterned shoes along with purses, belts, and hosiery make up my treasure trove.
