"Love Stamp, Lamp and Lace"
16" x 12"
Watercolor on paper

I found this painting in my archives while I was cleaning my studio these past couple of days. It's a watercolor from when that was the only medium I knew. Today I know a few more ways to express myself.

I'm cleaning instead of painting because a crew from the Princeton Artist Brush Company of Princeton, New Jersey is coming to my studio on Thursday to meet me, see my studio space and prepare to make a video of me painting with their Catalyst paintbrush. I raved about their #4 Polytip Bristle brush a couple of weeks ago and the adventure began right about then. I'll let you know how it turns out.

"Labor of LOVE (Stamp)"
16" x 12"
Watercolor on paper

It was indeed a Labor of LOVE (Stamp) to sit in my mother's studio painting her doll-sized wicker chair without using masking fluid. The cut work linen, a full-blown pink rose... imitating art, and another parian vase posed on a scalloped shelf against her favorite shade of aqua.

I drew the wicker and painted it first. I was convinced if it looked right the rest would follow. The light in her studio was ambient window light. Any additional light would have been too hot. There was no air conditioning in her Florida home.

This painting is listed with, and for sale through a Dailypaintworks auction.

Thank you for visiting,
