As an artist, paintings are a great weakness for me, so I am sure it's no surprise that I have a growing art collection of my own!  I didn't own any original art until a few years ago and have slowly acquired pieces as I stumble upon them....... It's true what designers say, that you should just buy what you love.  Somehow the things you love manage to fit together!  My favorite piece of art and my first original, was this pencil drawing that I found at the antique mall for $10. And my next favorite is this photograph by a sweet 11 year old at our homeschool group's annual Entrepreneur Day! Intrinsic value is not what makes a piece...

I've been working on some new large "Meadows"; landscapes with color that celebrate the fields that surround us in Ohio.  Each season brings a different look to the fields: the color of the weeds, the remains of crops, wildflowers.  Many of these meadows are a compilation of my favorite bits of landscape put with other favorite bits. This meadow had a very retro feeling to me, hence "Flower Child Meadow." Flower Child Meadow 36" x 48" oil on canvas 2024

Took a few moments this crisp morning to dust, rearrange, and overall "fluff" my kitchen shelves.  Changing them seasonally or as the fancy takes me is a joy I allow myself....... It's almost time for some daily special price paintings, and the flowers are ready, let me tell you!  We have fresh flowers all over the house; such a treat.  Here are a few of my favorite daily paints from last year: Cosmos Against the Cornfield Pink of Pumpkin Perfection Prime Dahlias And surprise!!  The first installment in this year's daily paints is already posted!: Roses and Dahlias, find it here
