Dutch Masterpieces

I follow a blog called Tialys.  An English woman who lives in Provence and shares her passion for vintage finds.  She posted this iris and I used it for a painting demo this weekend.  I think  Irises and Rembrandt are at the top of  my 'Dutch Masterpieces' list!  8x10 Oil on Canvas $250. 

Standing for Peace

This is my Memorial Day painting, featuring the Lotus Towers of Self Realization Fellowship in Encinitas, which have stood for over 60 years as a symbol of world peace.

$135  6x6'' Oil on Panel

Ristorant Mira

This painting was interesting because of the light falling on the front of the cafe and the bike.  I won't be stopping Monterosso al Mare on my trip next month, but always love to visit in my heart! 

20''x24'' Oil on Linen - $750

Hot & Sour

Today's drizzly San Diego weather conjures up a desire for Vietnamese Hot & Sour Soup! Instead of getting the cookbook out, I made 'visual soup' with shiny glass, silken onion skins, and a creamy white cloth. I hope you enjoy the taste. 
6x6''-  Oil on Panel-  $135.

Art is Alive in S.D.

Yesterday the phone just happened to take these photos, I confess, at the San Diego Musuem's Art Alive Event.  The best florists in town come to interpret the art in floral displays and it always is a joy to behold.  I hope I don't have to pay dearly for this art theft crime.  One look was not enough! 

Pouring Roses

These roses have come from my friends garden.  Spring comes faithfully to bring us Her gifts, and remind us of the energy that is resurrected, recycled, and retained by the Universe.
Throughout art history, designing with roses bring a richness and challenge all it's own...we can only approximate their beauty, really!

I wanted to brighten this image and so now we have ''37 1/2''.
