Chic

"Red"  (click to buy)

This month's Girls Just Wanna Paint challenge is 'Chic', a sort of celebration of one of our members who is, without question, a woman of style. 

Because I know that her favorite color is 'Poppy', which is the color of her living room walls, and that she has a red sports car and that she wears red lipstick, this little arrangement spoke her name to me. Tomorrow evening we will all meet at Pam's incredible oceanfront condo for a bite and a laugh and a glass of wine and maybe a fantastic sunset. Cheers, Pam!

Cozy Up

The hardest part of this painting was the rim of the clear glass plate. In reality it is a bright and very distinct hard line. I had to balance it with value and break it up so it didn't dominate the painting.  Today was a beautiful rainy day. Monsoon like. I spent the day in the studio and later this evening I picked up my Sister and my Mama on the way to a family party at my niece's house, where we turned on the festival lighting aka Christmas Lights :D and had a great time!
