Funny how some paintings resonate above others with an Artist.

This is one for me and always have been quite fond of it.

Such a balancing act with the elements. . . as with life. 

All appears calm and orderly, but just takes one slip!

Everyone knows the Contessa is so fond of jelly. 

Her donuts are so dramatic while oozes with the sticky stuff.

What can I do but strike with another jelly? 

ps my fingers are sure sticky!

Trying out new colors, new shapes for a new show.  Switching over to abstracts, I love to play with design, gestural paintstrokes and texture while painting . . . . and COLOR!  I love pink.  All shades and hues of pink.  This small painting in a retro color palette would go great on white or pale walls.

Fresh off the easel, this painting will need to dry for 1 week before mounting on panel / shipping.

Roses in natural light, arranged in a simple vase; this painting is from a garden event from May, 2010 here in Davis, California.  During the event visitors tour spectacular gardens;  artists set up and paint in the gardens and an exhibit of the paintings is on display later on.   I sold one painting from this event and this painting is available.

Each spring brings a revisit of evocative memories . . . 

My roses are just now coming into full bloom and the sight of them reminded me of the painting.

Freesia;  what a beautiful form and an ethereal, hard to pin down scent. The painting was painted en plein air after a day of being in the studio.  I went out to the garden as the sun was ready to set, when the pinetree and rosemary were dark in the background and the freesia blooms in their rich yellows were catching light in foreground.

Glorietta Vista is the view from Glorietta Canyon, stretching south across the desert in Anza Borrego State Park.  We've been to Anza Borrego so many times and this beautiful canyon is close to where we stay.  Painted in the morning a little more than a week ago, viewing it brings back so many good moments to me in crystalline detail.

The beauty of the desert is why we visit here nearly every spring.

The painting above was painted at the Coachella Valley Preserve,  also known as the Thousand Palms Oasis.  A beautiful place to paint -  a group of us painted inside the palm grove oasis, sheltered in the shade on a hot and windy day.  

I had the comment that the two palms look like they're dancing together, so thinking of twosomes, I named this "Dos Hermanas".

Foothill Oaks by Ruth Andre

I have been away from the studio for a few days.  There is a lot going on in my life right now and getting to the studio today was a pleasure very much missed.  I did not feel like jumping in to paint a large work or one that felt realistic, so out came a good size brush and a few bold colors.  It was a great warming up session and I feel like getting back to work won't be so hard for "A Painting Day".
