WHITE DRESS

18x24 original oil on canvas.

This little painting is for the workshop in Washington in June. I love the cool of the "white dress" against the warm of the background. The play of warm and cool.

I also love white dresses!!

ABSTRACT FIGURE

36"x36" oil on canvas Well this was very fun! I decided to go to my studio and paint! No more excuses! An abstract was on my mind and I was inspired to paint it using the figure as my subject. A pastel palette was important too . Weather beautiful, being out side in my studio was so pleasant. Really a fun day!!

TOTE BAG Sunday on the Lake

New Bag finished this morning. Also included a picture of the lining with a pocket and a crochet flower at the closure. This bag measures 19"x23"x5" Still waiting for those pesky handles and it's slowing me down some what but still I persist!!
300.

POPPIES

16"x20" o/c I'm painting now for the workshop in Washington. I have a theme and this will be a series called "poppies". There will be four paintings all with poppies! I think themes are fun!

The Wait

This painting was done many years ago. The students in the San Mateo class wanted to see a picture of it so here it is! It is a 30x40. It was painted at a time when I was progressing on my journey of going from very realistic to an impressionistic style. It is in a private collection.

The class in San Mateo was really fun! So many nice people and lots of laughs. So great to see old friends and make new. Wonderful painters! Andrea and Kathleen did a fabulous job of putting on the event! Thankyou! Camilla is the proud owner of "Cranberry Raisen Pie"! Thankyou to all of you who participated and see you in January!!
