Peony Painting

Finally, I pushed myself to get this one off the easel, I had started this one a month or so back but left it sitting there and I got totally disconnected with this painting. Lately, I find myself to have an inconsistent attention span, I want to do everything and my painting gets pushed back,Continue reading “Peony Painting”

30-day challenge update – day 2

It’s been a week and I had originally painted day 2 of the 30-day challenge but did not post because I had company, my daughter’s birthday and being distracted with the event.  The lonely Shallot was painted in 2 hours, I had a hard time with it especially the translucency of the skin. I willContinue reading “30-day challenge update – day 2”

The Best Marscarpone Brownies.

Yes, they are! Really they are, they’re the love child of a moist Brownie and a Tiramisu, they are absolutely delectable and best of all…they are super easy to make. I used my favorite brownie recipe that I have been using now for about 15 years and simply added an additional step to make theseContinue reading “The Best Marscarpone Brownies.”

My Potager …

Hopefully, you got here after seeing my previous post It’s SPRING! Rose Garden in the making. After completing the rose garden I felt that there was something missing, I needed a French Kitchen Garden – nothing to over the top, just enough space to grow Thyme, Garlic, Green Onions, Shallots, Oregano, Basil and a fewContinue reading “My Potager …”

It’s SPRING! Rose Garden in the making.

So here we are again… another Spring – and I must say I have been definitely distracted in preparation to this wonderful season, perhaps my favorite and I wonder why… I have been once again stuck in the garden – project after project with a painting resting on the easel that I have commenced andContinue reading “It’s SPRING!

It’s been a while…

It’s really been some time since I have posted and quite honestly it’s been a while since I have painted, I guess I have been feeling frustrated and perhaps defeated in my journey as an artist. I tried placing some of my work in a coop gallery but only lasted there 3 months – itContinue reading “It’s been a while…”

My new website…

Well, along with my gardening and all my Halloween decor that I’ve been caught up in, I had the brilliant idea to consolidate my website, blog and store and to make it worse change the hosting company.  This meant that I had to start from scratch for my website but now I had more themeContinue reading “My new website…”

Fresh off the easel…

This painting was finished 2 days ago but due to hurricane Irma preparation, I have not been able to post. Currently, Irma is kicking South Florida’s butt and as I receive the play by play from my mother who is currently going through it and is experiencing 100+ winds I needed to get my mindContinue reading “Fresh off the easel…”

Fresh off the easel…

So… for several weeks now I have been working casually on a painting that really reminds me of my father, he fell in love with the songs and lyrics of this artist that my husband introduced him to and as his medical condition worsen and cancer continued its path of destruction he would listen toContinue reading “Fresh off the easel…”

Fresh off the easel -Still life

I’ve been painting casually and been feeling disappointed and frustrated as an artist, not to mention I have painters block… I been trying to regroup my thoughts as an artist and been studying other artists and viewing videos on refining my technique. I have also been analyzing my self and my goal as an artist,Continue reading “Fresh off the easel -Still life”
