2013 a year of paintings

my year of paintings

The most paintings I have done in a year so far.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!

I'm linking to Mary's Mosaic Monday.

new bowls print & working on my cards

My cards came back from the printer

and I spent a snowy afternoon getting them done.

Look at pretty lemon cypress I found in Wegman's!
Hope I can keep it alive as a houseplant.  The scent is
so lemony and light when the needles are rubbed.

new tulips print

11" x 14"

on Etsy

The original sold, so I have made a print for the shop.

Just finished a commission for a very nice client.  

This is on a full sheet of watercolor paper 22" x 30".

I haven't painted that large for quite awhile, a nice change.  

I just loved painting this, planning all the patterns!  I only used cobalt and ultramarine 

so it was a fun challenge.  The client saw my small print of a single stack of 

bowls and was inspired for her dining room.  The bowl on the bottom right is

a reference to her late husband who loved tulips.

Today is so cloudy that I can't get a good photo. 

 I'll have to try again tomorrow 

 Think this would make a nice print in 11" x 14".

Now I'm finishing a lovely little French chair for

one of my favorite collectors.  She's planning a wall

of my little chairs.  I hope she sends me a picture!

Then, back to large paper again for a bouquet of white tulips.

Such joy!
