These colours together, plus the satin-y lustre of the fabric, just absolutely made me swoon. I could never wear shoes like these, but can’t I somehow live inside them?

"Giant Stairs"
Bailey Island, Maine. 12x16" oil on canvas.
I redid this seascape from our visit to Maine's sea islands. What a splendid place with cloud and sea dynamics. Thanks Dan and Ellen for showing us their special places.

Woman on the Beach
Finished this painting from the summer. I wanted to include figures in my beach landscapes and this image of Jan at her favorite spot seemed perfect.

By Any Name
I loved the look of this slightly wilted rose, even though the piece looks more melancholy than I’d intended. I think flowers have the most character when they’re past their prime.

If You Please
I painted this sweet white lilac last spring, when the neighbour’s bush was in full bloom... the smell absolutely transported me to my childhood backyard. And the little blue bottle was a treat.

Flirt
I went a little nuts painting black parrot tulips in the spring... I even thought about planting some bulbs of my own so I could relish those frilly deep purple petals in person. Until then, photo images are not too shabby.

Black and Tan
Catching up on paintings I did months ago... I bought these darling ankle boots for ¥300 at a Japanese charity shop ages ago, and wore them a handful of times (including once to London, which I regretted mightily) before deciding they were better as a painting:

Indigo
My brother snapped a picture of this amazing indigo bunting in Michigan last summer, and I loaded up my palette with pthalo and cerulean blue to have a go at painting it. What an absolute jewel of a creature!

Where You Belong
I grew this nasturtium from a seed last summer, it's one of maybe three that survived out of about 20 seeds. Growing things takes so much patience! I had to celebrate by putting it in this pretty golden pot.

Where Has the Time Gone
I couldn't pass up these beauties either... but similar to the black patent leather ones, they've been gathering dust in my wardrobe for a decade or more. Just because my lifestyle isn't totally compatible with green pom-pom pumps doesn't mean I can't still enjoy them as objets d'art.
