My Paintings
A Painting & A Poem: Apple Pie Tonight?
Jan 30 2017 ·0I 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 ·0When 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 ·1You 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: Friendship Ornament, Red
Dec 19 2016 ·0As I shared previously, I’ve been busy painting these small (4″x4″) ornament canvases for the Christmas season. In addition to the paintings I brought to La Petite Maison, I’ve been having a ball painting more ornaments to give to friends. In fact last night I brought this hexagonal ornament painting to a Yankee Swap ~ much to my delight it was one of the most popular gifts, “swapped” amongst several people. It’s always so much fun to gather with dear friends and I just love seeing people enjoy my work. It truly is a work of heart!
A Poem & A Painting: First Snow
Dec 12 2016 ·0We woke up to our first snow of the season here south of Boston ~ sort of. It snowed late last night but by this morning it had changed to rain and we had our first slush of the season 😉 . I think a painting of a lamb in snow is much more picturesque than a lamb in slush, don’t you?…
A Poem & A Painting: Purple Christmas Ornament
Dec 05 2016 ·0I’ve been busy in the studio this weekend, creating 4″x 4″ paintings for an event at La Petite Maison in Hingham this Wednesday evening. I love adding gold gilt to my paintings ~ it provides the perfect amount of glam and glitz. What could be better for the holiday season? Perhaps purchasing a petite ornament painting as a hostess gift 🙂 …
A Poem & A Painting: Cozy Corner
Nov 14 2016 ·0Slowly but surely my home is coming together after being turned upside down thanks to unplanned renovations due to water damage. I have been working hard (thank goodness for my dear friend and installer Paul!) and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is next week ~ fingers crossed, I think I’ll be ready to welcome guests into my home!
A Poem & A Painting: In Progress
Nov 07 2016 ·0Now that November is here it seems the sprint to the end of the year and the holidays is in full swing. I have been painting like crazy getting ready for a Girls Just Wanna Paint art show. We have an exhibition opening reception on November 30th, 6-8pm at the South Shore Natural Science Center in Norwell. Meanwhile, I am juggling several Interior Design projects including several changes in my own home. And yes, I am hosting a Thanksgiving dinner for 10(!). Wish me luck getting everything completed on time!
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: Speckled Brown Hen
Oct 10 2016 ·0We had some much needed rain this weekend and it made for some wonderful time in my art studio. It was an enjoyable break from the nonstop pace of the Boston Design Market last week at the Boston Design Center. Once again, I attended several informative seminars and met a host of wonderful people. I’m sure I’ll have more to share on that soon!
I also thoroughly enjoyed the opening of my Art Exhibit at the newly renovated FDO Group showroom ~ it is stunning! Thank you to those who were able to make it to the reception and thank you to everyone at FDO, your support is so appreciated! My artwork will be on display throughout October (Suite 313) so if you didn’t make it to the opening, you can still see the show. The Boston Design Center is open to the public and a great spot to gather inspiration (and a bite to eat).
This week’s painting and poem have a bit of a whimsical feel ~ I hope you get a kick out of it!
A Poem & A Painting: Lovebirds
Sep 26 2016 ·0Here we are, the last few days of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge! In some ways the time has flown by, in other ways it seems as if this month as been endless. I’ve been busy with Interior Design projects, travel, painting (for this challenge and an upcoming exhibit!), and putting the finishing touches on the new Pamela Copeman Art website. I can’t wait to share! In the meantime, today’s painting features one of my favorite subjects ~ birds. What’s more sweet than Lovebirds…

A Poem & A Painting: I Could Kiss You…
Sep 19 2016 ·0Inspired by my granddaughter Daisy, I am introducing new subject matter line for my paintings. Children’s Paintings are a bit more whimsical and lighthearted while still featuring vibrant colors, sophistication, and my signature “Pamela Copeman Art” style. I recently completed the first painting in this series, a giraffe with a crown, as part of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge…
A Painting & A Poem: Sunflowers & Zinnias
Sep 12 2016 ·0Fall is in the air this morning and even the flowers are signaling that the days of Summer are starting to fade. Gone are June’s peonies, making room for the mums, sunflowers, and zinnias in the hues of Autumn. I was lucky enough to receive a beautiful bouquet of these flowers ~ though they may not be the bright pinks I favor earlier in the season, they do look very nice in a leopard print vase…

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!
A Poem & A Painting: Side By Side
Aug 29 2016 ·0It’s hard to believe that Labor Day is just a week away! While the Summer days may be waning, paintings inspired by Summer last forever 🙂 . This week’s painting was inspired by a trip to Maine and actually originally appeared in a 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge I did back in September of 2014…
A Poem & A Painting: Inspired by Dolce & Gabbana
Aug 15 2016 ·0I have “beach on the brain” this week because Family Vacation is finally here! For me the beach is all about relaxing, sunshine, special memories, family, sunsets, and (for the artist & designer in me) bright colors. From beach umbrellas to bathing suits, bright colors and jazzy patterns are all over the beach ~ and I love it! This week’s watercolor sketch was inspired by iconic Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana…
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: Red Roses in Emily’s Kitchen
Jul 25 2016 ·0My daughter Emily has a lovely vintage inspired mason jar set in her kitchen. While I was visiting the mason jar vases were filled with single red rose stems. I stole a few moments to paint them in my sketchbook. I love how they turned out. I’ve never met a room that wasn’t made lovelier with the addition of fresh flowers…
