Welcome 2016!!!

I have been so busy with commissions, and the holidays I haven't posted in awhile, I still struggle with managing the different avenues of marketing my work, but I had a great year last year so I guess it works..  It has been exciting to look back on my journey and see my work improve little by little every day.  The hours and hours in front of the Easel are starting to pay off, I hope to continue improving and learning this year.  I am working on a very large commission that is tedious and arduous, unlike my normal loose style, so in between layers I have been able to do a few fun paintings that are available through the daily paintworks gallery or my etsy shop :

Back In The Studio

I have been traveling and its nice to be back in the studio.  I have been inspired by 

My journey through Rome, Tuscany, and Paris, and look forward to creating paintings from my travels.  In the meantime I had to get back to my still life painting and was inspired as always by my favorite blog, The Enchanted Home.  I was pleased to hear that Tina liked my painting and it cheered her up after the loss of her mother in law last week.  I am so new to all of this social media stuff, but I know I have to do it and it's been fun finding my way, I am especially fond of Instagram, I am meeting new friends and exploring so many beautiful inspiring people, places and things in the world!

Blue and White Monday!!

I am obsessed with blue and white  and I love painting fresh flowers in my different blue and white vases.  One of my favorite home decor blogs is The Enchanted Home, I get some many decorating ideas and love her posts.  I think she does a Blue and white Monday once in awhile so I thought I would post my latest little blue and white painting.
