New Vintage Dress Painting!

I revised this painting and it's now in a private collection
Revisiting my vintage dress paintings the other day inspired me to do a large one. The dress I used for reference was a vintage prom dress or maybe a wedding dress but I updated it a little with the floral appliqués that I love so much in today's bridal styles. I love to watch "Say Yes To The Dress" and am so inspired by the dresses on there. I know, I'm a dork...but I just love that show. I also love weddings and would get remarried every year if I could! I am really happy with how this painting turned out. I had been wanting to do something like this for a long time but I think I wasn't ready until now.




Joining the party at My Romantic Home Show and Tell Friday-
so many great links there!

My mom brought me these beautiful peonies from Trader Joe's. It was so sweet of her. I plan on doing a really large one but I think I need to keep it for my new home! I hope everyone has a 
wonderful week!

Blush...

I just finished this one and called it "Blush". I love this color!
I just got my hair done, highlights, and am feeling
so happy! I love getting my hair done. It's just like spring
all fresh and new!

I'll call her Spring...

She just reminds me of Spring so I'm calling her "Spring 1". The "1" because I might do more like this. 
If you've been following my art for awhile then you know I'm not that creative when it comes to titles.
It's even a chore to title my blog posts sometimes! 
I hope everyone is having a great week. Mine is going great. I managed to find the perfect pair of white linen capris for my trip (among other things) And the best thing was, when I got to the checkout counter
I found out they were 1/2 off! So I got another pair. 

We should be announcing the winner by Friday so please check back.
Ok...take care!

New Watercolors

With Spring comes new and fresh ideas. I've dug out my watercolors and am working on a new 
series of refreshing floral watercolors. 
I guess they could be considered illustrations. I also used
some acrylics, pen, and pencil in some of them, so...they could also be considered mixed media.
Two more will be posted soon. 
I'm not sure how long I will continue these...maybe just through Spring. 
It's been forever since I've done watercolors. Quite a change from the preparation and smells that oils possess. While I still love oils, these feels crisp and fresh, kind of like the weather outside today.
More vintage ladies, interiors, and landscapes to come. I'm thinking of maybe doing 
another Venice, or maybe a Parisian landscape!

Roses Shells and Sun...





The perfect combo. I love all these things and wish this really was my view.  Unfortunately it's far from it. I have a beautiful view from my home but it's been snowing and raining for about a week. The sun finally came out so I could paint this one with the beautiful light from the sun. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Roses, lemons, and peonies




These are my latest creations. They are both 6x6 inch with deep sides that are 
painted all the way around. 


I like how they stand on their own...no framing needed:)

This painting just has a really romantic quality
 about it. It's probably the pearls.
My weekend is going great. I got some paintings done,
packed some to ship on Monday, then went to Chinese food for dinner with my daughter and her best friend. They're so silly and fun to be around.
I'm really going to miss that when she's gone. I hope everyone
 is having a wonderful weekend!

This painting has just about everything I love... flowers, shells, lemons,the color peach...doesn't get any better than that. It's a small one but I'm planning
 to do a much larger one with a similar feel.
So far daily painting
 is really working for me and is giving the extra push I need to get things done!
