Red Hot

                     12x12 $300 oil on canvas; add $50 for black frame

I'm enjoying painting on a bit larger format. This one is on a 3/4" canvas, and I have ordered some black floater frames for this size. This is also a first for the draped fabric. I tried to keep it really simple with just a few suggestions of the folds.

It's been 3 days since I painted and I'm really eager to get back to it. Today I had a great excuse to be out of the studio. My husband and I attended the ultrasound where we found out the sex of our first grandchild- IT'S a BOY!!!! Didn't really matter which it would be, but it's fun to know and start visualizing.

  3. FABulous reds! Love the way they bounce around in the reflections on the darker colored mugs. I would have never guessed that this is your first time painting fabric folds.

    Exciting news about the Grandson!

  4. Le rouge de votre drapé rehausse et donne une vraie grande valeur à votre sujet qui ne manque pas de force par sa composition.
    Toutes mes félicitations pour cette bonne nouvelle. Moi qui suis devenue grand-mère pour la première fois le 25 novembre d'un petit garçon, je comprends votre immense joie.
    Gros bisous
