I was really tickled with the color inspirations for this piece and for the lights and shadows that developed as I worked.

We had lots of much needed rain here today! It has been a great day to let the creative juices percolate and I am sitting down to my easel to put paint to canvas. Hope your week has been a good one!

On My Way To Waterford

On My Way To Waterford

24" by 30"

This piece is in my personal collection and was done from memory and photographic reference of a special place in Waterford, Ireland where my mother was born and a bunch of my relatives live. My family is a large Irish family on that side of the ocean and I have such warm memories of time spent there. I loved the rugged stone wall against such a serene setting. I hope to go back there again soon but in the meantime this painting transports me there!

We had a busy weekend with sand soccer at the beach. It was great to spend time listening to the waves crashing and I love to watch the children experiencing the wonder of the ocean for the first time as they venture out and race back in trying to beat the waves back to shore!

Today was a day of reflection in my studio...what to paint next and getting in some much needed art supplies. I got started sketching in a couple of new ones but did not finish anything new. I am excited to work on a starfish....inspired by my trip to the beach.

One of the new galleries that is carrying my work is having an opening this Friday. Gallery 5800 on Grove Avenue in Richmond if you are nearby! Happy Tuesday!

p.s. just realized my image was too small so I will photograph the original again in the daylight tomorrow. :-0

Norma Wilson Original Oil Irish Cottages Landscape Art

Kerry Cottages By The Sea

12" by 16" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted.

What fun I had today working on this piece! I love working with a palette knife and lots of paint and this subject is of a scene from one of my favorite places....Ireland! My mother is from this beautiful place so I grew up with Celtic music, corn beef and cabbage, and wonderful summers romping around the seaside with my cousins. It was like a dream for this city girl who grew up in Philadelphia surrounded by row houses and concrete! It was like stepping back in time and still is as I experienced a couple of years ago in Valentia with my friends on a painting workshop. If you stood on this road long enough, I am sure a herd of cattle would come by on their way to the field above and a farmer on a tractor coming up behind.

Wow, another weekend of cold soccer games.....brrrrr! It was the last of the season and now indoor soccer begins with an indoor tournament next weekend! I think I will enjoy the change!

Last night I had my friends over to help me decorate and trim our tree. It is an annual tradition and that I love and now the house looks so pretty. I am really getting into the spirit of the season. Now it is time to buy some presents! I also had my handyman put the shutters back up that are freshly painted and what a transformation! Hope your weekend was fun and not too hectic. Time spent in the moment and with family and friends is really the best part of the season. Thanks for checking in with me!

Norma Wilson Original Oil White Valentia Cow On Red

White Valentia Cow On Red

12" by 12" original oil on wrap around canvas with 3/4 inch sides painted.

I first saw this cow in Valentia, Ireland on my artist's retreat. I have painted her before but not on the red background and I think it really showcases her strong profile. I am very pleased with it along with the color in her face. It has been a great weekend with a day spent in my front garden. My friend Lena, and I went to McDonald's nursery and picked out the shrubs and plants and spent the afternoon in the rain planting them. It was mostly a misting rain which actually was pretty good for the plants and kept things cooler for us. I ended up putting Dwarf Nandina, Knockout Roses, pansies, and rosemary in and behind an already existing row of Loriape...not sure if that is spelled correctly. We bought some bags of mulch too and it looks SO pretty. Today I added two potted plants on a pole and a garden flag.

I had a great summer day sleeping in a bit and getting into my office around 10:30. It is the beauty of working at home. I find myself still at my computer finishing up after midnight but it seems to work well with my internal clock. I had a web class with Danna Crawford of http://www.powersellingmom.com. She has been such a help in learning HTML and even learned a bit about making logos too using photoshop. She was honored at EBay live with their top award and also another for EBay giving works. Stop by her site to check it out. Anyway, I am in the process of developing a new listing template. I am excited about this painting too of an Irish Moiled Cow. It is a red and white cow with white freckled looking area that give it their distinctive look. Hope you week is off to a great start! Thanks for all the e-mails and commissions!

I am having difficulty uploading the photograph and will try doing it later this evening.
