"Satin and Roses"

I've been so busy lately with preparations for an upcoming festival, working on my website and getting ready for another show, that I haven't picked up a paintbrush in almost a week! So just to push some paint around and get a little paint fix, I did a sweet little one of roses. Very fast, very ala prima, but very cute. See the brush detail below.

I've been busy preparing for a show, getting ready for a festival and trying to work with contractors to prepare for the expansion of my studio so there's been little time to work on my blog or EBay stuff. Phew. I started off with the intention of this one being for EBay but I liked it so much, I waffled on whether I should sell it or save it for my show. Then I decided that I would just do a larger version for the show and give this one to you folks. Enjoy.

Rhododendron Oil Painting, 9" x 12" on Canvas Panel

"Rhodie and Persian Rug"
Click here to bid.











There's a Rhododendron bush on the walking path I take about every other day and it's been calling my name. I pictured it against my red Persian run that sits in my entry hall. The rug is 15 feet long. It was a real chore to drag that thing into my studio, roll it up and drape about five feet of it over the backdrop I use in my set ups. But it was worth it. What'cha think?
