Rose in Budcellatti

Place Bid Here.

My husband surprised me with this Budcellatti silver bud vase!!

I had to paint it right away! It was super challenging but you have to paint

what you love or die trying.  Anyhow,  I will be painting more

but here is my first attempt.

Thanks for reading.  And have fun in your studio today!:)

Still Life with Tulips

It's Monday.  What can I say it was hard to wake up and get going today.  After getting the kiddos to school I came home to teach a few very nice group how to paint still life.  Everyone always ends up teaching me!  I learn new things and when I teach I find I remind myself of things I may have forgotten in my painting process.  So all in all it was a great time.  

Hope you have a good time at your easel. 

P.S.

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
