VASE DE HYDRANGEA

Please purchase here

My latest painting in a series of truly French inspired works. I mainly want to depict the touch of sunlight on fresh fruit which reminds of a lazy morning in the South of France! Hence the grain sack dish cloth! Beautiful, French grays, blues and soft pinks would go well in any sophisticated setting.

This listing is for a 24" X 36" painting, painted on the sides so you won't need to frame if you choose not to.

CARMEL MISSION

Carmel Mission

Our dear friends, Matt and Caitlin are getting married today at Carmel Mission. I made this painting especially for them as a wedding gift as they both have a passion for missions and also of course this will be a snapshot of the happiest day of their lives, captured on canvas! They will be living in Belgium for the first few years of their marriage, so I hope this will find a special place in their new home!

FIRST SEA OUTING

SOLD ~ Oil on Canvas

A lovely snapshot of my niece, Isabella's first visit to Camps Bay beach in Cape Town. I really tried to push the warm highlights against the cool blues of the sea.

WHITE FLOWERS ON GRAIN SACK

SOLD ~ oil on canvas

This setting is simply a lovely ensemble of a few French objects which I painted to compliment a previous painting a client bought for her husband. It has a masculine feel to it with the brown and blue background setting off the white flowers. The teacup reflects the teapot in the previous painting and subtly unites the two paintings.

FRESHLY CUT FLOWERS

SOLD ~ oil on canvas

For this piece, I set out to push the intensity between cool and warm, highlight and shadow and am pleased with the result. There is an overall happy, sunny moment captured, and that is exactly how I feel at present!

LEMONS IN CLOCHE

SOLD

My friend, Mari gave me this cloche for my birthday this year which she bought on a visit to her daughter in France. I love that I can put anything in it and not only cake which never lasts longer that the trip from the oven to the nearest plate!

TOMATOES OF PROVENCE

THIS PAINTING IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Oil on Canvas 11" X 14"

This fresh Provincial painting is reminiscent of all things French. My husband brought these fresh tomatoes home last night and once I saw it I knew it was going to land up in my painting today! I plonked it down on the kitchen chair, as I was baking bread and there was nowhere else in the kitchen for it to go!
I love the strong contrast of red against blue and the lovely topiary which is one of many in my house!

PEONIES IN FRENCH PITCHER

SOLD

It was a sunny day on the Monterey peninsula today, and the sun shone beautifully through my bedroom window onto this white pitcher and peonies. Just had to capture this warm, inviting little scene!

LUCA

                                                                                    SOLD                                                    oil on canvas

A tender rendition of my daughter Luca, whom I have captured as the sun shone on her through a sky light. I think what makes this painting successful is that the focus point is where the strongest highlight and lowlight meet.

LEMONS IN DELFT

SOLD ~ oil on canvas

This is a lovely French Style painting I did of a few lemons I got from my friend's garden. The strong, warm yellows are beautifully set off against the dark, delft blues. This painting will go well in any home as it is a classic piece with strong colors and warm tones.
