Happy Anniversary

I had the privilege of creating a painting for a special woman. Her husband secretly sent me a picture of her Grandmother's house and asked if I could paint it for her anniversary present. And so it began. The secret painting time and communications (I love doing secret things like this) ended with a beautiful piece.

She was ever joyed when he presented it to her. And now it hangs proudly in its new home.

Happy Anniversary Kathleen and Mark!

I wish you many many more.

Enjoy!

Feed Your Palette @ 16 Main

We had a great night last night with the Council Wives of Madison and one lucky winner! Between the painting, music, laughter and wine we found the time to finish a painting! LOL The women took home their very own masterpiece of ...THEMSELVES! This was our first of many nights to come, and a great kick off to the new "Feed You Palette" paint parties at 16 Main. I don't think we could have asked for a better group of women.

Tickets to a drawing were sold. We raised $285.00 to go toward art classes for Madison children! And also drew one lucky name to join us last night!

Rebekah from Fox 54 showed up with her camera in hand to do a segment for us. So make sure you tune in tonight at 9pm to Fox54 to see a clip from the evening:)

Thanks To:

-Rebekah...you are truely a one woman show! Great job!

-Ann P. for jumping in with both feet and making this evening even more special.

-Ladies for all that you did. You are all a blessing to me and to 16 Main!

Enjoy!

Restoring the Old to New again

I had the pleasure this week, to restore an old painting. The client had brought the painting, done in 1899, to me and asked if I could bring out the beautiful little girl. I have to say, it was a JOB!!!! But in the end, I think she turned out well. She is now being framed in the original frame and dome class.

I should be able to take her home to her owner on Friday. I can't wait til she sees the transformation!

Enjoy!

Sold

I really haven't been keeping up well with my blog. I seem to have gotten myself too busy these days with work and work and well ..yes...more WORK! So here is a little catch up on paintings. These are two that sold this week at 16 Main Gallery.

The first is the Red Bicycle. My friend Deb has a great story started for this one. I can't wait to read it when she is done!!!

The second is Moonlight Swim. I love how the goldfish came out in this one. The have a metallic glow about them. I was a little sad to see these go. But...it makes room for more fish! I am really loving the fish theme that is happening in my art right now. They are slow and colorful and quiet....all that I wish to be :)

Enjoy!
