TAPIS ROUGE

SOLD


TAPIS ROUGE is such a lovely, warm setting that invites the outdoors in. I love the way the French desk is the center of the composition, though the light that streams in through the tall windows steal the show!

FRENCH BLUE AND ROSES

SOLD

I love all French object d'art and this painting celebrates that! Fluffy pink roses are set off against the horizontal lines of French shutters. Grapes in the foreground lift the dappled light and shadows which makes for a very lovely piece of art.

Once again, my dear friend Penny gave my mom a massive bunch of fynbos flowers, and the beauty of this one Protea inspired me to paint! Of course, the guavas didn't last very long!!
