Well, as you can see I finished these two paintings this evening so I was not able to get a good photograph of either. I will replace the photos at some stage tomorrow as long as the sun is available. Do you see an ongoing theme here in Michigan? Anyway, both will be available on etsy. A customer recently asked me if I do commission work and the answer is yes! I have a link in my sidebar or you can visit my website (Studio Lara) to see my prices.

**AND, Kate Coveny Hood did a really nice post about yours truly today :o) be sure to check out her blogs, I have two of her blog buttons in my right side bar, Wishing True, and The Big Piece of Cake...my kind of girl!

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

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!
