Three Pears / 9x12 / Oil on Linen (sold)I haven't gotten to my easel in a couple of days so the painting above is one I did about a year ago. I am still dealing with the studio construction which I thought would be complete by now. If you've lived through construction, you know how frustrating the last few weeks can be...
I got tagged a couple of days ago by Cathyann Burgess. She has great work and tips on her blog, and also a beautiful portrait that she posted yesterday. You can check it all out at Cathyann's Studio.
According to the rules of the tag, I'm supposed to post five random things about myself and then tag other artists, so here goes:
1. My Washington, DC gallery just bit the economic slow-down dust. Consequently, my house now has additional paintings floating around and I need to find another gallery. I've decided to take a bit of time before I do that, though, because my paintings seem to be changing a bit. I used to paint very realistic still life, and now I'm finding that my work is looser and I'm paying more attention to the abstraction of the painting as a whole. (See March 9th post.) I like this new trend and I'm excited about where it might lead me, so I want to give myself some time to create a newer body of work.
2. Gosh, that last one was wordy, so here's a short one: I had a tooth pulled recently. Ouch!!
3. Not only am I obsessed with painting, I'm obsessed with the color teal. In the olden days before the name "teal," my favorite crayon was blue-green. Cinderella's dress was always colored blue-green, and now it's all over my house (tastefully done, I hope...) I find this color to be very peaceful.
4. I have a wonderful recipe for brownies and I've made it so many times that I have it memorized. Wait, I'll be back in a few minutes...
5. OK, I'm back and the brownies are wonderful. Wish you were here to share one, but since you're not I guess that means I get to eat yours.
If you're interested in more random facts about me, you can check out my Feb. 10th post. Now, on to the "tagees."
The two artists I would like to tag are Sandy Sandy (yes, that's her real name,) and Deborah Paris. Sandy is multi-talented--watercolor, sketching, photography, and more. She actually has several blogs, so make sure you look at her list of links--especially her Art for the Animals project. She's a busy lady!!!
Deborah creates some of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen. They are very soft and a little more on the impressionistic side. Deborah is also a busy lady and has a framing business as well as her art work. (Mountains Edge Frames) These are high quality, closed-corner frames at very competitive prices.
