Sunset Cloud Bureau

This four drawer bureau is number 3 in my “Cloud Chest” series.  The sun is hovering at the horizon with a a purple glow that bounces off the low lying clouds around all three sides.  I painted three autumn leaves in Trompe L’oeil style on the cream colored top and tried to use only the colors from the sunset in the leaves while still having three distinctly different colored flora. There is a ladybug as my signature critter.   The “slats’ across the drawer fronts are actually solid pieces of carved wood.  Sorry but this piece sold immediately in the first show in which I presented it.  It stands 37″ tall and is 26″ X 15”.

I am in two Art Shows in November 2016

 

It’s that time of year again when I will be participating in the Women Artists Collective Annual Art Show and Sale taking place the weekend of November 19 and 20 at the WINDSOR ART CENTER, in Windsor, Connecticut.  In addition I will also be participating in the Hartford Open Studio NEXT DOOR at the Windsor Train Station (see photo) which takes place the prior weekend of November 12 and 13 from 11-5 . Both events should be a great experience! The WAC Show and Sale will have work from over 30 of my fellow artists and is always a lot of fun. There will be eight of us, in a variety of mediums, at the Open Studio where in addition to pieces for sale, I will also have on display several of my works of art on loan just for this show. Seeing photos of art is just not the same as seeing the artwork in person! I hope you can make it to Windsor for either one, or both, of these shows. Please put me on your calendar, I look forward to seeing you there.

Cat in the Box Portrait

This is a portrait of my all time favorite Kitty, named Captain.  He stuffed himself into this small box about fifteen years ago and I ran quick for a camera!   I chose to paint him a little larger than life a few weeks ago because I still miss this special, affectionate Maine Coon.  The portrait is done in liquid acrylic on a 16″ X 20″ canvas.   Do you have a favorite pet I could create a wonderful portrait of?  Please contact me through this site if you are interested.

Garden Fence Painted on Three Drawer Chest

I painted lots of pretty tall  flowers growing behind a picket fence on this solid wood, three drawer, storage piece.  Hollyhocks bloom in profusion up the front, right across all three drawers.  One of the side panels sports Sunflowers while the other has Morning Glories climbing up a wrought iron trellis.  Look closely and you will find three butterflies, a bumble bee, a lady bug, a dragon fly and two charming birdhouses.  The top is painted to appear like it is made of slats of wood.   The greenery wraps around to the back just enough to complete the design all the way.   This small chest stands 26 ” tall, is 12″ wide and 14″ deep (counting the knobs).  Perfect for a dorm room or even a bathroom!  This piece sold as soon as it was posted, however if you would like me to paint something in this style please fell free to contact me through this site.
