Three Pillows

Three Pillows
Oil Painting  20" x 16"
This is how I imagine a secret place where anyone can sit and relax after a long day. Picture a courtyard with a climbing cabbage rose and no interruptions. A quiet reading place perhaps with no thoughts about schedules or what you didn't do or what you forgot to do. The rat race is out there, not in here. Check out limited edition prints online at www.etsy.com/shop/NuttingAvenue or bid on the original at www.ebay.com/sch/phdesign9 and thanks for looking!

Wisteria

Wisteria

Oil Painting 16" x 20"

I am like most artists in that I paint what catches my eye, and and for me this one day it was this wisteria. I was on a house walk of beautiful homes and gardens in Pasadena, California several years ago. I had my camera with me as I often do, and took a few shots while on the tour. I liked how the sun was shining through the vines as they curled up the tall columns of this home; the colors of the purple, lavender and bright spring greens took my breath away.  I took the photo and then worked up the painting when I returned home to my studio.
