Rainy Day in Paris, Rainy Day in Michigan...

(close up view)

8"x10", oil on stretched canvas,(SOLD)

I was a bit bummed out yesterday as I had hoped to get a good photo of this piece that I have been working on for the past 2 days, but of course it was raining here in Michigan...as cold and dreary as dreary can be. But then it hit me, how fitting it was that it was raining as this piece is centered around Gustave Caillebotte's "Paris Street; Rainy Day". I had a bit of a chuckle and listed it on Etsy anyway. I just replaced the photo, although it still is a bit warmer in tone than what may appear, paintings always look better in real life!I also do commission work, so if there is a painting you might like a study done of feel free to drop me an email!

A New Home on Etsy...

3"x5" oil on primed canvas (SOLD)

Well I finally closed my doors on ebay the other day and will now be selling my work primarily on Etsy. There just have been too many changes in the past couple years on ebay and after 3 years or so I have decided to bid ebay adieu and join my fellow artists on etsy. I will also be getting back to doing some still life pieces and Master portrait studies along with my Painting a Pup a Day project...I have to take a break from painting pups from time to time or I go a little batty...So, I hope you will enjoy following my new journey selling on etsy...it certainly was a pleasant surprise to see a couple sales already! A great welcome to a wonderfully creative and inspiring site!
