My office for the day at the Pt. Loma Garden Tour

Yes, I was a happy artist this past Saturday, sitting in a beautiful garden beside a waterfall, painting away, when two of the paintings I had on display at the Pt. Loma Garden Tour found a new home. A full day of painting resulted in the painting above, appropriately titled "Happy Dance." It's not often that I dust off my plein air easel and paint outdoors, but I know I'll be doing it again soon.

"Happy Dance" is painted in oil on gallery wrapped canvas, sides painted black, offered here ready to hang and enjoy. You can purchase here and have it shipped to your door, or purchase here and pick up at my Art on 30th studio and I will refund the shipping fee. $450 + $30 to ship anywhere in the continental U.S. Updated 7/31/17: Sold!

"Tulip Modern"

This fun little piece was inspired by a visit to the dentist office. A birthday present for one of the girls in the office, this perky little bouquet was begging to be painted. Of course there was much "artistic license" in play here, since I didn't want to paint file cabinets and paperwork. Fun things to paint can be found just about anywhere...you just have to keep your head in the clouds :)
