Kiss Me I'm Irish

4x4 inches / oil on panel

SOLD

A little out of season for St. Patrick's Day when in New York City for the parade we all wear tee shirts, hats, etc. that proudly display, "Kiss Me I'm Irish".  However, as I just realized that I'd had this one in my pile of paintings I thought I'd offer it.  Search my blog for the first version on this theme as well as many pink kisses which I've done on a custom basis, although so often I don't get to post them all to my blog.  In any event, I don't think one needs to wait until St. Patrick's Day to say, "Kiss Me I'm Irish!"

two variations on a theme red golden delicious apples on lace still life oil painting available for purchase realism

Two variations on a theme of apples and lace.  Both available for purchase.  The painting shown on the left was created first, while the other was inspired by same adding a little more visual tension in the proportions of the canvas.  It's hard to say which I prefer.  The antique cloth embroidered wtih blue floss on the right is particularly enchanting especially with the little curl at the end, while the simplicity and rich color dominate the mood of the painting on the left.  Which is your favorite?

Excerpt from facebook -- follow me there, too! 
Brief reprieve after long flurry of orders, birthdays, holidays. Vowed to enjoy pool this year rather than always painting! FINALLY pruned some of my 65+ shrubs many 5-8 feet, gardens sufferring with near tornado winds, hydrangeas heavy burdened with blooms, roses flourishing, sweet peas scrambling everywhere, cut some for porch and painting. INCREDIBLE pics of my peonies. Hope I get caught up on orders to paint all I've planned!

Lily of the Valley Lace Sheer Green Ribbon Colonial Williamsburg Tea Caddy

Lily of the Valley on Williamsburg Tea Caddy

12x12 inches / oil on panel
SOLD
Originally this painting was to be on a high gloss table, but when my client requested a doilie which coincided with this month's group topic of linens, I delighted in adding a bit of antique lace to this composition.  For years I've had ribbons floating around in my collection of reference materials here in my studio, so when my client requested a green ribbon be included, I couldn't wait to experiment with the trasluscent qualities of this lovely sheer ribbon.  Guaranteed, I'm sure to use these subjects again since it was such fun!
