ROSE VASE

A warm, lively painting, depicting a warm setting of roses in a lovely glass vase, reflecting sunlight in the water.
I love how the impasto of the oil paint adds to the texture of the petals and make this work even more alive!

SILVER URN

SOLD
Nothing is more inspiring than the reflections on a beautiful SILVER URN! So I captured this picture as the sun came rushing through my studio window this morning...didn't linger long though, as winter is setting in! I love how the dappled light, soft petals and broken color all work together in this piece!

​A darling setting of peonies against purple shutters and a very bright, warm highlight against the back of my little garden table. I love that the lemons only serve as a compliment color to support the composition!

THE SUNLIT ROOM


SOLD


THE SUNLIT ROOM is totally drenched in sunlight with beautiful shadows casting a glimpse of sash windows on the walls of this well lived in French interior. I love the open door that leads one's eye into the inner room which is connected to the first with the same warm dapple of light.

LA STATUE

LA STATUE speaks of all things grand and glamorous though understated opulence which I tried to capture in this painting. I love the glimpse of yellow curtain which is neither overwhelming, nor forgettable!

Chambre รก coucher, or bedroom, is such a beautiful, harmonious and inviting setting which en-campus everything I tried to capture in this painting. The star of the show must be the long yellow curtain that invites the viewer as well as the sunlight in!
