I have a hard time passing these old Parlor windows , they seem to have so much history , my house has one and I love it , sometimes I have to watch where I am driving ,because I will stop in a flash just to catch a window ,thinking it will make a nice painting, this was one of them !
This painting might bring memories of a grandma's house where they was a window just like this one . email me if you are interested .

Garden Sculptures at the Fells garden
This is a painting I painted in July at an Art week end at the Fells garden in NH , these were beautiful sculptures by a very talented artist Lawrence j. Nowlan, They almost looked like real children. It was a bit of a challenge because you really wanted them to look like sculptures in a painting. It was a wonderful week end to paint in this garden as I mentioned back in July.
I am now working on a commission of a house with lots of landscape , so it is taking a bit more time than I want , I have a few still life set up ready to do , and now I am getting relatives visiting from France for two weeks , so I definitely will be challenged with my time.
This is a 9x12 painting oil on linen $375.00

On a sunny day in Portsmouth Last night after watching my friend Nancy paint in watercolor , I had the urge to do also. I used to paint mostly in watercolor until a couple years when I went back to oils after 20 years .You know how it is? we follow trends , I still sketch a lot in watercolor and do commissions work . People will often ask me ,what is your favorite medium? and my answer, I love it all! I guess it's like food, I cannot think of one particular food I don't like , and that believe me it's a problem!
This was a fun painting to do, I also was with a group of friends, and we all painted something different .
