From the artist’s studio: En Rose II





Two weeks ago I was able to stop working at my part time job -it is in retail and I couldn’t imagine being 8 months along with all of the holiday shoppers. This has been very nice and I had been planning on working on some new pieces before the baby arrives. Then last week I got a fun surprise, I was asked via etsy’s alchemy to do a special painting! She wants me to do a piece similar to “en rose” but with 3 panels and a bit bigger. So we worked out the details and I started work on it this week.

Yesterday I was able to paint 2 base layers on the canvases (see image of the 3 pieces) and today I added a thin brown layer which warmed the painting up a lot (see image of painting on table). These layers are only the beginning of the many layers I use to create the background in my paintings.

I’m hoping to get this all done around the week of the 22nd. So far so good! I’ll keep you all updated on the progress of this fun project.

Hope you had a great weekend!

  1. I think the painting will be lovely. How nice you could stop working retail and take care of yourself.
