Windows are little openings into our lives,
They let light in and let life out...

| My inspiration painting |
Years ago, I purchased a book on the country of France. I have always been fascinated with all things 'Paris.' I even had the opportunity to visit this wonderful country about 12 years ago, we stayed in the city of PARIS. It was one of the highlights of my life. I really loved it. I loved the museums and the eating and the architecture. It was all perfect.
Today, I am giving you a glimpse into my studio and showing you what I have been working on for a while. I actually have 12-14 of these all penned out on paper and am now beginning the process of adding color. I wanted my windows to be done in a "VanGogh" style.

I love all the movement in his work. I know that he had sort of a magic that nobody can ever duplicate perfectly, but I had fun trying. This man could paint anything in in any genre. I fully think that he could paint picture realistic, if he chose to. His work, to me, looks fictional but I believe that it is far from it. I believe that everything he painted was 'there' and in fact was painted from life. He had the ability to see movement in all that he painted. This I love.

These caught my eye, too. The windows are solid and dark but it makes me wonder...WHAT IS GOING ON
BEHIND that glass?? |
These were also taken into consideration when I started to pen my paintings. As of today, I have 4 completed.

I think these would look lovely in any room of your home. I think I will sell the originals and place them in frames
that are painted with Amy Howard MILK paint. |
I know that pink is a color that some people can't do, but I happen to love pink because I love and have a lot of grey in my home. This color just naturally goes well with grey. Here's a few closeups of the above.

There is a lot of movement in this painting. It is free and fun and not exact. I love the whimsical
look of it and think it happens to be a windy day! |
HAPPY is having a house on the water... This was a phrase that I read on the internet. I think it's true, smile.

| This was actually a real window from a book, the building was located in Montmartre. |
 |
| I love to eat. I also love to walk to a good bakery, especially when on vacation. I love the bakery in Chesterton, MD |

This picture makes your mind wonder, is this a lobby in a hotel? A bed and breakfast? Why is there
a book at the window. Am I supposed to sign in? There is a level of mystery, and I like this. |
I think the grey is beautiful and compliments all colors. My whole house is some form of grey. I really like the splash of red.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my artwork!
ENJOY!
