A Poem & A Painting: Madame de Paris
Oct 17 2016 ·0After a whirlwind couple of weeks, I was so happy to have some quiet time in my studio this weekend! I did a bit of experimenting with an Impressionist/John Singer Sargent painting style. I enjoy pushing myself when it comes to my artwork and it’s even better when I am pleased with the results. I imagine the woman in this portrait to be a well-to-do Parisian in the late 19th century. I hope I’ve done her justice…
A Poem & A Painting: The Most Beautiful Home
Sep 06 2016 ·0Last week I visited Victoria, British Columbia. I’d never been before and I was enchanted with the beauty and charm of the area! Throughout this Summer I’ve been fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel, visit some amazing places, and stay in some beautiful homes (like the one in this week’s painting!). I am ever grateful to have made so many wonderful memories. By the same token, I am so happy to be home. It’s true what they say ~ there’s no place like home!
