the beginnings of another flower...

Okay, I took this pic a few weeks ago when I started this painting. Since this was shot Ive completed the painting so will post that today as well. Its a nice painting and heading to Collingwood gallery today.

new week....

Did I mention I want this kitchen for my new house? Its the same model, 1940s ranch and this is the end result with a kitchen reno I found online. Its lovely. I watched a reno today on Design Inc and it was the same style kitchen, limited space but functional and beautiful.

March br is done. New week begins, with driving my friends John and Joyce. Hes quite ill so this little job may go away soon, however I welcome that as I have so much painting to do for the exhibits this spring. Its been a great job, Ive enjoyed their company and insight on being old. They are wonderful people, blessed to know them.

painting by emily carr

Id forgotten how much emily carrs work had influenced my early work. I loved her paintings and the way she captured nature and movement. Her paintings were so spiritual. There are many things from my past that inspired me that I would like to revisit. I remember reading her biography and loving her the way she moved the brush over the canvas. Beautiful.

spring

March break is slowing winding down. The weather has been fantastic this week and Im so looking forward to the first day of spring and warmer days ahead. Starting another flower today, already have the photograph ready for reference. Will post as it evolves.

white flower done....

Im so happy to complete the white flower ( my second flower ) Its march break, kids are here, company here and I still found time to finish yiipppeee!

rain in new york

Its raining today, like sideways rain. Why does everything just get better when you wrap NY around it? Like rain. Wrap NY around it and there is just something magical about it all. I cant explain it, but its all very romantic dont you think?

logan home sick

Logan is home sick today.... its rainy and gloomy so maybe a good day to make chicken soup and look after my little boy who is not so little anymore! I had to post this image this morning because it makes me so happy. The green of this cabinet is amazing. I think its close to the buffet I'm painting right now. I may try to work on my flower painting today, the gallery would like a few for Easter so need to get working on those. A cheery picture for a dreary day.
