See You Later - Oil Painting of Barred Owl at Inniswood Gardens

"See You Later"
24"x24"
Oil on Canvas
$650

Inniswood Gardens is a wonderful Park in Westerville, Ohio. I love to go there and walk around, on my own, with friends, and also with my kids.
The park has several different areas, with specific habitats, and environments, and nice areas for kids to play, including a great tree house.
Anyway, this painting features the boardwalk in the wooded area, and a barred owl, a bird that can actually be seen in the park.

 On a personal level, I am very attached to the park because they gave me the opportunity to have my solo show in the Innis house last fall.
I had several of my landscapes in the show, and the reception was well attended, thanks to the terrific support from the staff and the patrons.

 Can't wait for the fall colors to be back, that's my favorite season in any park!

"See You Soon" will be in the show "Reflexion from the WAAL", the fall show for Worthington Area Art League Members.


An artists’ reception will be held on September 17 from 2:00-4:00pm, at the Mill Run Church. 
The public is invited to visit with the artists, enjoy light refreshments, and view over 100 pieces of artwork by members of the Worthington Area Art League. Ribbons will be awarded at 3:00pm.

Winter is Coming - Portrait, Acrylic on Canvas

Image
"Winter Is Coming" 12"x16" Acrylic on Canvas Available   I am really pleased with how this painting came out.  And to think that I used to be very intimidated by painting people, now I can do portraits that really resemble the model, woohoo!  :) I used a canvas that had an abstract pattern already painted on it, with the idea of covering the pattern in most areas, leaving only a few hints of it here and there. However, when I started the new painting, I really liked the pattern background and how it was peaking through everywhere, so I kept it visible as part of the composition. The model was wearing a warm scarf, and it made me smile when shortly after we got our first big snow of the year, she must have known that winter was coming, and coming soon. :)

Cane Corso, the Italian Mastiff - acrylic dog painting

Image
"Ettore" 9" x 12"  Acrylic on canvas panel Ettore is a very black dog that belongs to my family in Italy. I hear stories about this smart and friendly puppy all the time I call home, from what they tell me he’s such a handful! My family always had German Shephards, and this is the first “different” dog in the household, his breed is Cane Corso, an Italian tipe of Mastiff.  I asked for some pictures of him and he’s so cute that I couldn’t resist painting him. The fun part is that I did not use any black paint. I’m curious to hear what my family thinks about this portrait, did I get the personality of a dog I never met?   We do not see things as they are.  We see them as we are. Talmud

Japanese Maple Tree - Acrylic Landscape Painting

Image
Japanese Maple Tree 16"x20" (40.6 cm x 50.8 cm) Acrylic on stretched canvas, framed In front of our first home there was a Japanese Maple Tree. We bought the house in November, and I had no idea that the naked twisty tree in the front yard could get so pretty and colorful (not many Japanese Maples in Italy, where I was coming from). Spring is always a delight for me, and the first spring in the new house, I was so excited to discover what could be sprouting in the flower beds, what beautiful treasures were planted by strangers that lived there before us. There were tulips, daffodils, irises, but what really elated my heart was the little tree with the star shaped red leaves. A true delight. When, more recently, I saw a picture of the Japanese Maple Tree from the Portland's Japanese garden, with those beautifully bent branches and bright leaves, it brought back cheerful memories, and renewed my sense of wonder for this amazing plant. I just had to paint
