The Children at Easter

SOLD

When my children were little (they are young adults now) my family used to gather each Easter at my sister’s house. We all lived close to each other in Southern California at the time, sharing many happy holidays together. With three brothers and my sister, the spouses, the grandchildren and my parents we enjoyed lovely and loving gatherings over and over again.This painting reflects a favorite memory of one such Easter, as a handful of the children sat together on the lawn in my sister’s beautiful backyard, sorting through the treasures gathered during their Easter egg hunt.

The painting is approximately 20″ x 28″, watercolor on 140 lb. coldpress watercolor paper. It hangs in a private collection in Colorado.

Vintage Button

SOLD

[Note: Please click post title to see painting.]

After moving to the farm in New York, a couple of ladies at our church gave me large quantities of vintage and antique buttons from what they had stashed for themselves. I use the buttons in knitted and sewn projects, and in my photography.

I created this oil painting of one of my favorite buttons, as well as a few others scattered around it. The buttons are resting on an old rusted cake pan I picked up at a local antique shop.

This is a post-card sized oil painting (6″ x 6″) on a 1/4″ thick piece of pure eucalyptus hardboard cut for me by my husband.
