March Hare

Sometimes, you just want to paint something because it makes you smile. Today was that kinda day!

Have a great weekend, peeps!

Rebirth

Private Collection

Mirror, Mirror

This little hothouse tomato appears to be gazing at its reflection in the bottle, doesn't it? Or perhaps it is just looking for the first sign of spring? Me, too!

I hope you're having a wonderful first week of March!

Rice Bowl with Blueberries

As I painted this yesterday, there was a mix of sleet and snow falling outside. It felt so cozy being snuggled up in my studio. I wish that I had selected a lighter background fabric, but there is always next time, right?

I hope your week is off to a wonderful beginning. Happy painting!

Hana Bowl

Available for Purchase

I purchased this little pottery bowl on our recent trip to Maui. We spent one day driving the scenic road to Hana, and I found it in one of the small villages along the way. The beautiful cobalt glaze reminds me of the white-capped waves of the northern shore.

I finished painting just before sunset this evening. The background may be a bit too dark, but I like the twilight feel of it. Dusk is my favorite time of day. So peaceful.

Crutchfield Pottery

Available for Purchase

Not long ago, I purchased a set of these handmade mugs from Crutchfield Pottery. At the time, I didn't intend to paint them. I just wanted a set of great mugs. They are so pretty, though. I couldn't resist! I contacted Mr. Crutchfield to ask permission to use his website link in my blog, and he very graciously agreed. If you are looking for the comfortable feel and the beauty of handmade pottery to use in your home, please check out his Etsy shop.

Rituals II

Available for Purchase

If you have been reading this blog for long, you know that white is my nemesis. One of my goals for 2014 is to become more comfortable painting it. Cross your fingers for me.

I hope you're having a great week!
