MACKIE'S MEMORIES

SOLD

I have just arrived back from a trip to South Africa, where a dear friend commissioned me to do a painting of all the special things she had gotten from the 4 men in her life, her husband and 3 sons!
This is a beautiful setting on her fabulous French style dining table complete with fresh lemons from her garden, which I must add, has a view of my beloved Table Mountain!

You can go to my Etsy Shop where you could order your very own commission and so have an heirloom created of the very special things in your home, for your home!

MEYER LEMONS

SOLD

I wrote a blog post on preserving lemons today, Meyer Lemons to be exact..and was so inspired by the beautiful light, the yellow against the old green terracotta pot that I painted this picture before the blog post was done! I'm happy with the result, what do you think?

DIARIES

SOLD

It was a kind of rainy day, here in California today, and I was so fortunate to capture the fleeting moment when the sun did shine through my window and reflected through the my beloved purple vase from behind. Love the shadows of the roses which almost steals the show, I must add!!

VIOLET VASE

SOLD

I always say that if purple was a food I would eat it! Love purple, and so love this painting that is all about the soft, rambling roses, yet the purple vase is what sets it off!

ROB's ROSES

SOLD

Two dear friends came over for one of my home cooked meals the other night, and like a prince in shining armor, Rob arrived with a bunch of beautiful, long stemmed roses...just for me! And what with the late afternoon sun streaming through my sitting room, I just had to capture it for a lifetime!

WRITING DESK

SOLD

A warm, lovely study of a writing desk, soaking up the late afternoon sun. A special moment of the day, captured on canvas for a lifetime!

RECLINE

Please click here to bid

I was drawn to this interior scene by the warm, strong light that passes through the French window and reflects on the floor, so inviting and begs one to sit and relax in the cushy recliner. A lovely study of a few minutes peace as the sun stretches its rays over a calm, quiet room.

LEMONS AND DELFT

Please click here to bid

This is a study of a few lemons from my garden against a lovely old delft vase I bought at a garage sale a while back. Nothing more charming than classic blue and yellow!

URN REFLECTIONS

 

 

SOLD

 

 

 

URN REFLECTIONS is a special commission for a client who loves my roses but wanted it in a silver urn. I really enjoyed doing this piece as I think the vertical lines on the urn anchor the soft, flowy roses so well.

ROSE REFLECTIONS

SOLD

ROSE REFLECTIONS inspired me to paint a few objects that are dear to me...and double up as good props!!

FRENCH CHAIR

SOLD

CRÉME CHAISE

SOLD

CRÉME CHAISE speaks of comfort, rest and peacefulness and the cool blue hues emphasize all this. I liked this scene as it reminds me of what I am working for...comfort, rest and peace!

DIE SLAAPKAMER

SOLD

DIE SLAAPKAMER is a beautiful rendering of a sunlit bedroom. I tried to capture the serenity of the room by focusing on the light which is reflected in the chandelier above the bed. This is such a calm setting of a place the home that should embody all that is peaceful.
