Movie Inspiration: You've Got Mail

Ruby Red Heels,  Oil on 4"x6" Linen Panel
SOLD
       Nothing says autumn like "You've Got Mail." Like other pretty movies, I could watch it over and over again and NEVER tire. While I watch it, I dream of owning a shop (gallery) just like the one her tiny little book shop sits in. What a dream! Well, throughout the movie, there are references made to other movies, "Wizard of Oz" is one of those. The painting above is a tribute to that. The models were actually tiny, glittery Christmas ornaments.
         It's gotten to the point that I put the movie dubbed in Italian with Italian subtitles to practice the language, since I have it memorized in English. 
         I apologize for the bottom two photos; my camera has given up on me. Drats! I hope to have better photos soon and when I do, they will be posts on eBay for auction.

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.  Still Life with Chanel,   Oil on 5 "x7"   Linen Panel S OLD Private Collection in Pacifica, CA
