Spring Paintings

Well, it's finally April in Maine. It's still quite cool outside but the snow is almost gone and green shoots are appearing in the flower gardens. It's time to come out of hibernation!

It's mini painting time for me again. I just received my order of 24 frames!

The frames arrive with a distressed finish that I don't like. My husband takes them to his shop and sprays them white for me. These are my favorite mini frames.

These mini paintings are currently available in my Ebay Store. One sold within an hour of listing! Stormy Seas is on it's way to the UK.

Painting is never boring

Well, another few months have gone by since my last post. A friend asked what I have been working on so I thought I would share a few of my latest pieces. 

I have been very busy in my studio getting ready for my favorite local shop, Patchwork Plus in Searsmont, Maine, to reopen for the season on May 1st. She carries a line of my work and we were all hustling to finish up in time. My eBay Store has also been busy, so more paintings needed there, too.

I seem to jump from one painting subject to another. For the past few months it is been miniature paintings - 3x3 inches square. I found some darling frames on-line that, I think, are perfect. These mini paintings give me a chance to use bright colors and quirky subjects - snowmen, colorful songbirds, flowers, a goldfish. Even a few mini still-lifes and landscapes. Here is a sample.

 

My husband cut a stack of 3x3 canvas panels for me and I have a dozen or so left. When they are done, I need to finish my nocturnes. I started one with a pick up truck and a man in a phone booth - so many subjects to choose from. 

Painting is never boring! I could never understand how anyone could say they were bored. I say -"just get busy doing something!" Life is short, don't waste it.

Enough said, time to paint. Stay well and stay busy. Thanks for visiting with me.

Welcome 2021. Goodbye 2020

I said I was going to post more often - I just looked and another 2 ½ months have gone by since my last post. Time isn't just flying - it's taking a jet plane and what a ride it's been. We have all survived 2020 unscathed and hope for a smoother 2021.

Even with all the craziness of the past year, art sales have been good. My Ebay store keeps me busy and that is a good thing. My studio work has run the gamut of sizes - from a large selection of mini 3x3s for a local shop to an eleven foot sign for a local camp owner. Subject matter has been varied, to say the least.

Now that winter is here, the holiday rush is over, my local shop is closed for the season and I am back to a slower pace. I'm looking forward to continuing my nocturn studies. I just love to paint - simple as that.

Here is a sample of last month's work. Most are sold. Sizes range from 3x3 to 9x12.

Any of my paintings can be purchased directly through me. Please contact me for more information.

I want to sincerely wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year! 

Thanks for visiting with me.

Small Stuff

When I found these sweet frames, I knew I just had to paint some miniatures. The paintings are on 3x3 canvas panel and the overall size with the frame is a mere 4.25 x 4.25 inches.  

I painted some for my daughter-in-law's shop, Patchwork Plus, but these will be added to my Ebay Store. And I'm going to keep shopping for these little frames. What fun!
