To love what I love, and to share that love. That is my mission.
When I think about why I make art, it’s because I love the process and I love depicting things in my world that make me happy.
Like these tins from Mariage Freres in Paris. I just finished the tea inside, and look forward to refilling them on my next trip to Paris.
Painting them was a way to savor the memories of the tea and to anticipate a trip to Paris.
Happy Valentine’s Day – may this be a time to pause and connect with what you love.
This painting will be sent to one of the members in my Write Your Paris Stories class. The next five people who sign up will also get a Paris painting by me.
I love this painting! It’s a very lucky person who receives it.
Thanks, Alyson! I love it, too. Your comment means a lot to me. 🙂
I like this painting a lot. Shows progress, I think because of the shading and ability to show perspective, roundness. Happy V Day!
Thanks, Bobbi! Yes, I’m finally putting in the elements I was learning last year. I’m focused on light and shadow as my creative edge – seeing it and painting it.
It’s like the two things that are such a part of life and make things full, but we barely notice them. That’s one of the great things about being an artist – you get to see and experience more. I know you know what I mean. 🙂
i like these canisters a lot. They are so solid, round, absolutely themselves and charming. I found myself enjoying the shadows too. Seems a different approach and palette for you too.Lovely to see some of your travels in paint.
Thanks, Julie!
I want to be absolutely myself and charming! The things I love help me feel that way.
Yes, I rarely paint with black and it was fun to learn how to mix it. I’m going to paint more of them, and lots of other things I love!
I always relish your comments on my work – you see things very differently and with a loving, appreciative eye. Thank you!
