Reflections of Old Glory

I was lucky enough to take a still life painting class with my friend, Linnea Leeming, at the Providence Art Club.  She sets up beautiful still life arrangements and I spent 5 weeks cursing the fact that I told her I wanted to do an American flag... I thought it would be challenging, but challenging was way to nice a word! If you look close, you can see me in the reflections too.  I just finished the stars today and framing it up to deliver to Celebrations Gallery in the morning.

Reflections of Old Glory - 11x14 - Acrylic on Mounted Canvas

An Adventure in Daily Painting

Rain Rain Go Away!

After all the rain we had mid-week, picking a subject to paint was easy.  The actual painting took a bit longer.  This image was from a friend's photo of her daughter.  I loved the lighting in the photo, but the composition needed some tweaking to make a stronger painting.  I am looking forward to painting more children in this small format.  It makes a great gift for the holidays, so consider commissioning one of your child.

Enjoy your weekend!
