We're back from Sonoma! And turns out if I had put it only 1 more hour on this painting before we left, I could have gotten it done! This picture was taken in Paris on the most gorgeous sunny day that also happened to be freezing cold. That is the thing I love about Europe- you really are spoiled for choice when it comes to deciding what to paint. Ever since I've started taking my own photographs I'm realizing that you can really turn anything into a great painting with a little imagination. A lot of artists have some sort of "message" they try to get across in their painting, others only paint one subject, like cats for example. The more I look at the works I've done, the more I realize my goal with each painting- for the viewer to see all of the colors and beauty in scenes just like I see them. And the more paintings I do of my travels, well, it's just like you've been along with me. That's what I wish for.
As a side note, I've gotten a few questions about selling my paintings. The answer is yes, most paintings are for sale! If you are interested in a particular piece please email me. Thanks for your comments!
Mini paintings of CA wine country coming up soon....
