Tuscany Hillside

This is one of my newest paintings. I love the flow of colors and the soft movement across the landscape. It was really fun to do especially using the different sizes of palette knifes.

New work

Well, spring is here. Along with all the pollen.
Lloyd and I worked in the garden most of the day.
I am still working on a few paintings , I really need to finish these before creating another.
I am looking out the window from my desk and looking at the beautiful pink buds on my peach tree. We purchased a blackberry -vine yesterday . Lacey my daughter wanted to have fresh berries this summer- she loves blackberries.
Its cloudy today and windy. I think I will stay in and work on getting paintings finished and starting another painting from a sketch I did over the weekend of my cousin Geoff, Mr. Comedian now. I can't wait to do this for him.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy all of Gods blessings. Take time with family- its so important.
Until next time- see ya!

Agony In the Garden

This painting is one I did in a fast amount of time and have never been able to duplicate it again. The creative energy I had while painting this was incredible and was given to me as a great gift.
This painting is on board and painted in oils.
It is 24/30. Prints will be available with-in the next few weeks.
I am keeping the original. I love it and cannot part with it.
Yesterday was Super Bowl Sunday. I was tired from the week before -setting up for a large garage sale on Sat. and working everyday and late into the nights on art. I decided I needed a nap (which I seldom take) before entertaining guest for the big game.
I laid down and closed my eyes for only a few minutes when all of the sudden images started appearing , coming to me fast, in color and very specific. After several images it stopped. I was not asleep so it was not a dream and I promise I am not going crazy (maybe be a little off but not crazy) Ha! I can only attribute it to a spiritual connection of creativity being shown to me for a reason. I went into my studio after napping 30 Min's or so and told my husband I had to get a few images and designs down that were shown to me while I rested. I have to tell you these images and the designs are fantastic. I can't wait to finish them and I will show you all after I am done.
All I can tell you is that if you are an artist and it is your passion- keep doing it everyday. Your art will become what it needs to become and your spirit will soar. I know this has only happened to me because I have been 24/7 in this creative mode and worked everyday and hours on end at my art. That is when things come to you creatively and spiritually.Another Blessing.
I am going to try and post every few days and hopefully I will be finished so I can share some of the new work with you.
Have a wonderful day !
