Still Life with Pear, Grapes and Ribbon, Oil on 6"x6" Linen Panel
SOLD

I still have not had the time to take a painting class. There just always seems to be something going with the family or work when a workshop that interests me comes up. This was the case when I received an e-mail from the talented Leslie Lienau from the Conservatory for Classical Art regarding a workshop that was to be taught by Kelli Folsom.

After a couple of weeks of moping about missing out on her workshop, I received another e-mail. This time from the Edmond Art Association letting me know that Kelli would be demonstrating some of her oil painting techniques at our next members meeting. It was a fabulous demonstration in which Kelli was informative, entertaining and very inspirational. I learned a great deal in a little amount of time and am so very grateful for it.

Labor of Love

Sunflowers in Cobalt Blue Vase, Oil on 5 "x7" Linen Panel SOLD Private Collection in San Saba, TX First, I must say that everything I paint is because I absolutely love. I don't like to paint things that I don't find to be attractive to me for one reason or another. Sometimes it's sentimental reasons and other times it's as simple as beautiful colors or the texture. Either way, it's something that I want to capture and stare at for long periods of time. I want to study it and how it affects the environment around it, as in the case of Sunflowers in Cobalt Blue Vase does. In that respect, I feel ALL my paintings are a labor of love. More often than not, I have to create a painting, wipe it all down, and start all over again if something is just not working. Some never get completed and I just end up painting something totally different on that panel. Then there are some, that I just have to paint, no matter how much trouble they are giving

The Apple Tree that Could

Peonies in Glass Vase, Oil on 5 "x7" Linen Panel SOLD Private Collection in Lebanon, IN Green Apple, Oil on 6 "x6" Linen Panel S OLD Private Collection in NewCanaan, CT This little painting is of an apple from an apple tree on our property. I've been babying it for about four years now. To my surprise, last year it finally gave apples. However, after a couple of days of seeing the tree with lots of apples adorning its branches, I took my daughter to see the little miracle, but ALL the apples were gone. She looked at me as though I was trying to pull her leg. This year, the tree was filled with even more apples. I hope they mature well so that I may share with my neighbor that's been admiring it.
