NICKY'S ROSES begged to be painted after my dear friend dropped it off on my doorstep. She is such a prolific gardener and these are a few of the last ones from her beautiful garden up in the Santa Lucia preserve!

FRENCH WINDOW is such a lovely, warm and bright rendition of a calm and inviting French room, showing off an interesting blue room in the background. I love how the beautiful provincial couch beckon you into this interior scene.
Mrs. De Florian left Paris just before the rumblings of World War II broke out never to return. The flat was found untouched after 70 years and here I have captured a beautiful vanity which was found among precious art work including an unknown Boldini!!
FRANSE STOEL is such an inviting painting, beckoning one to enter and sit for a while! Cool blues are played off against a warm lamp and light highlighting the beautiful French chair.
FLEURS DE JARDIN is a painting of a few freshly picked flowers from my garden, beautifully opened roses and a few stems of lavender. I like the green curtain that opens up to the garden from where I have picked the flowers!
