I had a happy surprise several months ago when a woman named Isabelle
contacted me through my painting website. She was wondering about
purchasing a painting that I did a number of years ago. Unfortunately
that specific painting had sold several years ago so besides making sure
she was legit and not some hacker, I did my research and put on my
thinking cap. Isabelle has a French language business in Paris and she
is a tutor. She wanted my painting for her website.<br />
<br />
Here was my solution.....anything sent to Paris would be incredibly
expensive to send and since she only needed an image of this painting
(which I still own the copyright on) I offered to send her a high
resolution copy for a nominal fee while the money transaction would go
through PayPal. She was very happy with that idea and the most charming
thing is that we still email each other every few weeks wondering how
each of us is dealing in this time of craziness!<br />
<br />
If you would like to take a French language class in Paris or on Skype her contact is here:<br />

I paint with a group of amazing women artists and occasionally we hang exhibits together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After waiting 2-3 years for a show at the Orinda Library Gallery BASA's name finally came up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were due to hang on March 31st and then the pandemic hit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So with Covid-19 on everyone's mind we decided to take what we have been working so hard on and give you a virtual show. How creative is that!</div>

Several weeks ago I was on Instagram and I came across a photo of the most amazing peonies which were lit so dramatically that I instantly fell in love. Wendy Straderick from Essex in the UK, politely gave me permission to paint from her glorious photo. You can follow Wendy at wendysgrandgardens on Instagram.<span id="react-root"></span><br />
<br />
I just finished this beauty today and it's patiently drying on my studio counter.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">As you can see, we both paint in different styles and bring our individual points of view to our work. Joanne often seeks out quirkiness and bold color while I tend to look for beauty and calm.....I raised three boys so I wonder why I need calm in my life!</span></span><br />

Two years ago I added a fence and a road and lowered the mountains. I lived with that for awhile......mmmm......still there was something needed. I felt that this painting had a lot going for it so it was worth working with. And yesterday I added cow.......there it is! Some humanity.....life!<br />
<br />
Ahhh...I can breathe again.....how about you?<br />

My husband and I took a trip to England & Scotland two years ago and I fell in love with the people, the countryside, the houses and tea time!</div>

I painted this from a photo that I took near the Roman Baths of several school children running home from school as happy as can be. In fact it's the Bath Abbey in the background.</div>

In 2014 my husband and I traveled to Normandy to spend some time at Mont-Saint-Michel. It was so crowded with tourists climbing up the winding road to the top that I was about ready to turn around but when we arrived at the monastery and I heard the monks chanting, I was a goner! I loved that the sheep were in the field nearby.<br />
<br />
Here is my first painting of the New Year - Mont-Saint-Michel - 24 x 36.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The
Bay Area Studio Artist (BASA) will present “The Herd Instinct,” an
exhibit of paintings in acrylics and oils, at Orinda Books, 276 Village
Square, Orinda, during the month of October. You are invited to a
reception from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 6th.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> “The
Herd Instinct” explores the urge to gather with others of your own kind -
whether it’s a migrating pod of whales, cows grazing in the pasture or
jellyfish just floating through life. We have included everything from a
peep of chickens to a mob of sheep to a loveliness of ladybugs. And,

Happy to be at home and painting again! Above is a painting that I started yesterday of a bouquet of peonies. The photo reference was taken this spring in Paris. (see below)<br />

I have just returned from ten days on Nantucket Island and it was magical. The painting above was our view from the ferry as we were leaving Hyannis Port in the evening and heading to Nantucket which is 30 miles out to sea. On the fast ferry it only takes an hour!<br />
<br />

I had brought my painting supplies to the island and had a great little spot in the dining room of our home to paint. It used to be a screened in porch but now it is enclosed with floor to ceiling windows on three sides that allowed for great light and air flow. It was 98% humidity while I was there so it was impossible to paint outside.<br />
<br />
We went to the beach on a few days to cool off in the Atlantic and the house in the above painting was our view behind where we sat on Sesachacha beach near Sankaty lighthouse.<br />
<br />

My final painting that I started on Nantucket was of a window box on a House & Garden tour that my girlfriends and I went on in Sconset. Everywhere we went on the island people had incredible gardens and window boxes! <br />

Love the feeling of the shepherd with his flock on an early morning stroll getting his sheep from one area to another pasture just like it has been done for so many generations. <br />

I have had this painting finished for several months now and I have been pondering over a name for her. Two weeks ago my family came over for a BBQ and I put them all to the task of naming this sweet cow. Pearl was the favorite due to the prism of soft coloring within her white hide.</div>

The group that I paint and show with, <a href="https://bayareastudioartists.com/" target="_blank">BASA</a>, just put up a new wall at the <a href="http://www.lafayettelib.org/" target="_blank">Lafayette Library</a>. Their summer theme is "Build Your Brain" so we submitted paintings of good food, music, exercise and reading, as well as a collaborative painting of Einstein!<br />

Honfleur is a beautiful little French village in Normandy where the
Seine River meets the English Channel. Saint Catherine's church is in
the background. People are shopping and dining along the Quai and it
thrills me a little to know that Claude Monet used to paint here!<br />
<br />
<br />
As the weather turns cooler, I tend to refocus my painting on subjects that align with my mood. The painting above was done over a months time as I grew restless working on all of the detail. So in between breaks, I would paint something that was loose and less exacting - like the cows below.<br />

Gone are the paintings of children playing on the beach or dogs swimming in the backyard pool. Right now it is cows in a Autumn pasture and moody days in a French harbor.<br />

I had begun painting these three charming cows about two months ago and after getting it two-thirds done, I had to set it aside due to a wedding, home remodel and vacation. When I picked it up again this week, I was surprised by my hesitancy in not diving right in! I found I had other things to do even when I had be missing painting so very much.<br />

Elmer was the last cow that needed to be done but I felt like I didn't remember how, or that I was painting on someone else's artwork. I soon realized that I just needed to get back in the flow of painting. I put on some music and began by painting the background and sides. Before I knew it, I couldn't stop as I was having too much fun!<br />
<br />
I just love these three characters!!! The looks on their faces is one of curiosity and interest.<br />
<br />
Do you happen to know what that skin fold hanging down from their neck is called? I looked it up online after painting two of them. It's not a wattle but a dewlap. Just excess skin with no known purpose.

If you have been following my art blog for a while, then you know that I have been working around the clock to get in my One Hundred Faces finished for the show!<br />
<br />
I did it - even though it involved me bringing 6 on my family trip to Montana & Idaho.<br />

Don't feel too sorry for me as this was my little painting area - a gazebo on the cabin grounds right on the Snake River!<br />

And here all all One Hundred Faces hung on a special system that my husband designed so that the panels would hang flat and individual panels could be sold and replaced by a new panel. <br />

I was most happy to have my mom come to support me - she even brought a basket of homemade Biscotti cookies that disappeared in no time! <br />
<br />
Ahh....now I can relax.....ooops.....no I can't! We are having a wedding in our backyard in one month! So I am off to plant some flowers.<br />
<br />
<br />
And I couldn't be happier!<br />

Above is a sampling of nine 6 x 6 inch paintings that I have done for this show. I am having so much fun painting these small paintings that I can't wait to get started each day!!!<br />
