Busy and Big

I haven't fallen off the face of the earth.  Silence here means I've been in the studio.  Lots going on in addition to painting so let's get caught up.  Next month's issue of The American Art Collecotr magazine features still life painters and samples of their work.  I am honored to be part of that feature and can't wait to get my hands on a copy. 

In addition, a couple of my galleries are really working hard and asking for more of my "Threads of My Life" paintings.  Consequently, back to the lace and painting big.  The first painting has a tapestry rug under the delicate lace tablecloth.  Kind of a ying and yang, soft/rugged feel.  Also wanted to give it an environment that reflects a light filled room.  Images were made with my phone camera but are pretty clear.

 Moving on, I had a call for another Carolina Blue painting but I don't do exact repeats.  I used a different hand thrown pot (same artist) and of course, the cloth arranged in a more challenge drape. 
Another big canvas (30x40).  This will be sent to Lagerquist Gallery in Atlanta.
 

Our newsletter winner this is is Linda Oesterreich and recipient of a print of one of my paintings.  If I don't post before the year's end, wishing all a happy holiday and a prosperous new year.
