My newest painting for the week of June 14 ebay Listing

Here is one my French Shabby Cottage Roses Palette Knife 8"X 10" with a little Palette knife technique. I like a little texture in my paintings. I like to feel the painting. My nana became blind when I was about 8 years old. She had to rebuild her life. She used her hands to see our faces as we grew up. I like that everyone can see the roses.

Autumn in North Carolina

Looking Out of the Window in North Carolina, I saw all of these beautiful colors. The trees color palette are rich and jeweled. When my children where small they would go outside,jump in the leaf pile I'd just gathered for my compost. At first I'd be a little peeved but I could not help but laugh because those kids where so cute. They would even get the neighborhood kids involved. I soon gave them the job of gathering leave (Oh did the tide turn).
This painting came of those images and is being offered on eBay.

Needed Sunshine

I yellow is such a happy color so you know I had to paint my yellow roses. I started painting this picture channeling happy thoughts after hearing news of the banking bailout. Why are we the taxpayers the scape goats? Why can't some of this money go directly to homeowners forgiving some of the mortgage debt? I needed to divert my mind. Yellow was my color. There needs to be more oversight of the banking industry. I am praying. If you would like to purchase a print click the title

Art as Therapy

I have been in the hospital and on bedrest for a while. I read a lot of novels, newspaper, watched TV and got so flustered at being still. I took out my paint brushes, my oil paints and acrylics and started painting what ever came to me.
I like canvas to paint on. I like that I can order canvas on line, but I even recycled newspapers by brushing gesso on to the pages. I hope you like my abstract rose and daisy bouquet.
