All of the magnolia trees are in full bloom! This one was painted from my neighbors tree.

Ballet

The ballet shoes are the inspiration for many of the dancer paintings I have done lately. What girl doesn't want them when she's younger? I took ballet for a year just to own a pair myself. It was worth it! :)

Both paintings were done on black gessoed panels, my favorite way to paint.

Little Piggies

I've decided that I love painting pigs! This baby was being held by my friend while on a field trip with my son's class. So fun :)

Yes, I'm one of those saps that gets excited about Valentine's Day--all that pink and red together...!

Peonies

Happy New Year! I felt like celebrating the end of a tough year painting something I love--flowers. They are painted from the same bouquet of peonies, but two different angles. The brighter is also painted on a black gessoed panel, much looser. Can't decide which I like better, how about you?

Grapes on Glass Plate

The last glass painting was definitely looser than this one... However, after painting the grapes I felt the plate needed to be tidier or it would attract more of the attention. SO much fun experimenting with this glass; going to keep at it!

Glass Cup & Saucer

This antique pink glass was catching the light in the most beautiful way. The pattern is multi-faceted, like a prism. Love it!

Farmer's Market Flowers

​Was having lunch at one of my favorite restaurants on the square after visiting the farmer's market. The outdoor tables had the most adorable little arrangements. Thought this one was so summery set against the blue tables.

One & One on the Way

We have what seems to be a return family of robins that build and nest in the same spot each year. So fun watching the eggs hatch and seeing the robins leave the nest for the first time. Those parents work hard!

Lilac & Lemon

Remember my glass addiction? :) This tiny bud vase has been with me for decades and is the perfect thing to hold a little cut flower like this lilac. I set it up in the morning sunlight next to this half lemon and thought the color combination was beautiful.

One of my most favorite desserts lately, and pistachio is definitely my pick. My husband got the raspberry one--love the color combination and fun set up.

Lily Stamen

Although these lilies were beautiful, it was their stamen that really intrigued me.

Ballet Slippers

My friend brought over a few pairs of her ballet slippers for me to paint. Awesome inspiration! They remind me of taking ballet class when I was a girl.

Primrose

Another painting inspired by my local garden shop. I love primrose. Every time I hear the name now I will think of Catniss' sister from The Hunger Games novels!

Beets Me (2)

Was at Whole Foods with my son and was drawn in, as I often am, to the gorgeous colors in the produce department. Love beets, but honestly had no idea they came in so many colors!  They were arranged just perfectly on the shelf and so much fun to paint.
