In My Studio - A Few Paintings in Progress

 Painting in progress... Loving the sunshine flooding my studio today 

Putting on the finishing touches... and getting ready for the Kirkland Artist Studio Tour on Mother's Day weekend (join me at the Grape Choice!). This painting will be there though I can't seem to capture the colors with my iPhone, background is a deep Tuscan gold color.

Color Inspiration - Lavender Glass

A small section of one of my paintings - the colors inspired by old lavender bottles on my window sill - I love the touches of rust on the glass and wonder where the bottles were before they came into my possession.

Things I love (Day 2)

Morning light in my studio
The smell of fresh ground coffee
A breeze whispering through tall grasses

Old Image... New Face

Do you ever pull out old art and give it a new face?

Painting in a sun filled room and dancing with my music! Is there anything more fun?!

The title I ended up choosing brings to mind the elements that danced in my head when I painted this piece:
Music
Dance
Moonlit night
Giving and Sharing

Moonlight Serenade

(Have you listened to Carly Simon's rendition of the Glen Miller song - so lovely!)

 A number of people suggested this, so I put your name in a hat and drew...

Congratulations to
