A Few Favorites

     Well, I did it...picked a color for my kitchen.  Even though I am an artist and studied interior design for a time....I still had to go run my decision by a designer friend who helped me pick just the RIGHT shade of apricot.  I couldn't wait to come home and get some of that color up on the walls!  When I finally got enough area to get the FEELING...I felt like I was in a bottle of Pepto Bismol.  Why is this process not filled with delight and a sense of adventure??  I might be exaggerating a bit about the Pepto Bismol...it is a little warmer and there is a decided glow coming from my kitchen.....  Well nothing that a martini and a good movie can't cure, right????  I am so excited to have my middle son, Sean, home tomorrow and my oldest, Patrick, here for Easter.  Andrew is up at Tech and I think there is a game this weekend and he is involved with a run for Cancer so he will not be here for the Easter Bunny. Good thing he doesn't read my blog. :-)  I think I am gonna get a bunch of  grief what for my Pink kitchen!!  O.K. let it go Norma.
     My collage today is in lieu of any new works.  I have had a really busy week and thought I would do one of some of my personal favorit s.  Some were because I developed a relationship with the little creature while painting it or was transported to another place or learned something or perhaps just enjoyed a new color or painting surface.  
     Lately, I have been getting a lot of requests to do workshops or ongoing classes.  I would love to have some feedback on what subjects you would like to see me teach or a specific technique such as palette knife work or impasto painting.  I love, love, love, color so that might make a good one day workshop to learn a bit about color mixing and how to use analagous colors to create forms and shadows instead of complentary colors.  That is my favorite way to do it.  I will look forward to hearing from you!  Have a wonderful Easter and thanks so much for checking in with me!

Check out my available works to see which ones are still available!

Rooster Head

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

This piece was done as a commission for a client in Canada and it was the first rooster head I ever did this size and am really tickled with it. I have not painted as much as usual this week as I am working quite a bit on the home front. I decided to clean the carpets myself using a dry system and it feels great but I feel like I ran a marathon...or the closest I will ever get to that! :-) Once, I started that...everything else called to me to clean and paperwork to plow through and boxes in the garage to break down and changing things around in my studio....zzzzzzzz Well, tomorrow is another day and more to do...there never seems to be an end to that to do list...is there??? In the next weeks I plan to work on a newsletter and some prints! If you are in Richmond...check out Gallery 5800!

Proud White Rooster


Proud White Rooster

11" by 14" on wrap around canvas with sides painted.

What a gorgeous day here in Virginia! Everything is blooming and it was sunny with a balmy breeze! Kind of took me back to when I used to be out playing in our street in Philly and we had until 9:00 'till our Mom's would be calling us in. The Water Ice truck with Philadelphia pretzels would have just come around and we were playing Red Light, Green Light of the girls would be jumping rope....this time of year, school was getting ready to let out and the whole summer stretched out ahead.....ahhhhh the good ol' days! Man, I am wanting a water ice and soft pretzel now!!!! My favorite was lemon lime. :-)
