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 .

From the parlor window

I have painted this window a few times , I just love the look of these old windows , I have one in my house. I found this one in my travel to Eastport Maine , it was a house that needed a bit of love , many houses in the area need someone to bring them back to life , and many Baby Boomers are retiring and doing just that.
Edward Hopper liked these old windows also.

Lubec,Bay Window

The architecture of this old Down East town is wonderful for my obsession with the history of it,a nice sunny day to paint on location, my friends and I are spread out at different locations ,some like to paint rocks ,some lighthouses and of course many of the farm life where we are staying, a wonderful working farm with cows, chickens pigs and lots of wildlife ,
this was my find yesterday,a beautiful parlor window.

Parlor window

I did get a chance to finish this pastel, I didn't think I would because I was having a new kitchen window put in , due to the rain they went home , that give me time to finish it and stay away from the garden also , always so much to do, I keep saying that I will not plant one more thing ,but seems to manage to find some new plants.

so here it is , The Parlor window. 11x14 on board ready to be framed email me if interested

Artist statement

Artist statement

I am an Artist who has painted most of my life and enjoy every minute of it. My journey in the art world continually evolves keeping up with the time, I paint in many different medium and love them all. My collection of work is primarily in oils and I use watercolors for commissions, illustrations, and pastels for my own pleasure. My love for architecture shows in my work and many have compared my style with Edward Hopper. I feel honored to be compared with such wonderful artist. I paint daily in the studio and plein air when weather permits. I try to paint from life as much as possible. Last year I gave up teaching art after thirty years of private classes and, now enjoy my former student’s accomplishment in the arts. Many collectors around the world own my work and hope many more will in the future.

The best is yet to come – enjoy my journey!

Handy Hints to Successful Art Buying Online

You can make your online art purchasing experiences a lot of fun, and stress-free, if you just take a few moments to follow some tried-and-tested advice.
These hints will give you the very best chance of finding quality works of art, and receiving the art in perfect condition.

1) If you see a piece of art you like on a favorite artist's Blog, don't be afraid to request a couple more photos of the work. Most artists will happily oblige. You might like to see close-up detail of some section... or perhaps an image to confirm the coloring is consistent.

2) Look for the artist's email address. Apart from a direct email contact, artists often post contact phone numbers. They do this for a reason. They would like you to phone them. So do it! If you'll feel better talking to a 'real person' make the call. But I would always recommend making direct email contact with the artist.It's helpful to have a line of communication from the point when you make your purchase, to the point when the work is dispatched to you. Most artists also would like the opportunity to follow up and ensure the work has arrived safely. Don't simply place your order and make your payment. Take the opportunity to communicate with the artist. It will make the whole process run more smoothly.

3) Consider purchasing more than one piece of art at a time.If you fall in love with the work of a particular artist, consider purchasing a piece and leaving it with the artist. Then, when you see another work by the same artist you wish to purchase, ask for both pieces to be sent together. This will reduce freight costs considerably. Most artists will be happy to hold a paid artwork in storage, especially if they realize it's because you wish to purchase a second piece.

4) Email the artist and ask them if they have any artworks not yet posted on their blog.Some artists don't have the time to post every piece on their blog. Or some pieces are displayed, and then taken down after a time. It doesn't hurt to ask the artist to email images of any works they have in their 'stock room'.... and it can be a way to discover secret treasures.
