Window Boxes

Window Boxes is one of my daughter's favorite paintings...It is framed in a wide, simple silver frame, 16" x 20". I have not painted houses, architectural details and flower boxes in a while. The photo I took for the inspiration and reference on this painting is missing, and I can't remember exactly where this location is. I think somewhere in Michigan. I have plenty of new photos from New Orleans with lots of windows, doors, gates, shutters, flowers, and beads. Lots of Mardi Gras beads. Thanks for looking at this posting...I hope to get to the studio this afternoon and finish up more of those paintings that are half-started, --- or half-finished.

Lace Curtains

"Lace Curtains" was painted when I was going through a window and shutter phase. I think I had started with three flower pots and gradually added more and more...until I got thirteen flower pots sitting on t he ledge. My favorite part about this painting is the bricks and stucco on the outside of this building...used a knife, so the paint is thick a textured. I am getting ready to look at my pictures from our painting weekend in the hill country. Lots of cows, horses, dogs and beautiful landscapes to paint...
