I finally found time to paint a still life of my whimsical sugar bowl and creamer set. It was last year’s Christmas gift from my husband. He knew I would want to make a painting of it. The cherries were added for a touch of color.
Just a simple still life with sunflowers, pears in one of my copper pots. It was painted from a set up in my studio.

This is a studio painting. I used a photo that I took in my sister’s beautiful backyard last year. Susan Ring is a wonderful artist and has a green thumb. I am especially fond of her pink Surprise Lilies.
This is a studio painting. I used an image that I took at a plein air paint out. I like to put images on my monitor and pretend that I am painting outside. There were many swallowtail butterflies enjoying this zinnia flower bed.
I am posting this to show the relative size of my Eiffel Tower painting. It is currently on one wall of my Rail Walk studio in Salisbury, NC. One of my artist friends took this photo for me. We are hoping to reopen Rail Walk to the public soon. My studio is open by appointment at this time.
For this studio painting I used an old photo that we took from a river boat. After a tour on the Seine we returned to the tower after dark. The lights on the tower and the streets of Paris made it seem like a magical fairyland. It was a night to remember.

We were at the beach for a morning walk with our dog. These boys were having so much fun running and splashing in the surf. So I took some photos. This was at Fort Myers Beach in Florida in January.

I am staying home as much as possible. This is a plein air painting of the edge of the woods seen from our deck. The Dogwoods are in bloom now. We can see back into the woods, but not for long. The green leaves are filling in. Take care and stay well.

This is one of the lovely homes in Salisbury, NC. I blocked the painting in on site. I stopped before it was finished, because I was too cold to continue. I finished it in the comfort of my studio pretending to be onsite.

This is an image of a commission painting for a client of a grandparent’s home in the mountains of North Carolina. It is painted from a photo reference that the client provided.
