Life Is Sweet: Take A Bite

Garden of Lush Dreams - 30"x40"x1.5" - Oil

Hi Subscriber,

First, I would like to wish you all a Happy July. I hope you enjoyed celebrating the 4th with friends and family or just relaxing at home. Although, with all the sounds of fireworks it was hard to relax.

"Garden of Lush Dreams" is my latest astracted oil painting. It measures 30x40 inches. This vibrant artwork is a story about the natural beauty and the lushness that inspired me when I visited Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge, CA., in May this year. Everything was in bloom. I have never seen it more beautiful.

I created a fantasy garden. I chose to paint the house that is partially hidden a bright pink which adds an element of mystery and invites you to imagine what lies within. I painted the sky a warm, golden-yellow, for sunrise, creating a contrast with the cooler blues of the mountains. This interplay of warm and cool hues helps to bring a balance to the composition.

Wouldn't you like to stay in this Pink Villa?

"Proudly Pink" 30"x24" Oil painting

I want to remind you that I have several paintings at Mulberry Row Boutique in Sherman Oaks that will be up until the end of summer. "Proudly Pink" is one of my pieces there. The address is 13327 Ventura Blvd., 818 788 8285. So if you find yourself in the area please stop in to see my art and the arwork of other local artists. Also, this boutique offers vintage clothing, gifts and fresh flowers. Robin the owner is a fabulous florist.

"There Is A Kind Of Hush" measures 30"x40"x1.5". This piece is probably the most abstracted painting i have done. It is an organic garden scene and it feels like a jazzy fluid melody to me, thus the song title. This photo was taken at the Southby's International Realty in Pasadena when we had the reception for the "A Celebration of Spring".

The show was curated by Margaret Danielak. www.danielakfineart.com. The address is 800 E. Colorado Blvd. There are four other very talented female artists in the exhibit. I have seven pieces in the show and it will be up until the end of summer. Please feel free to visit the office Monday thru Firiday during office hours.
