Wild Violet And Bluebelle Await A Lecture On Propriety, oil on canvas. 9"x12". Sold.
We return to the Manor house once again. These two are the 'troublemaker' cousins of Catherine, Greer, and Max. They may not look like it, but they wreak havoc wherever they go (pretty girls are the worst, you know). So it appears that the matriarch of the manor (Silke Westlake) is the only one who may be able to straighten them out. We'll see.....
If you need a little more info on the series, the basics can be found here.
Have a great weekend!

I returned to my 'Craft Corner' the other day to work on some small canvas prints. My craft corner has been a sad and lonely place as I haven't had any time to spend there these past few months. Perhaps calling it a craft corner is an overstatement. It's basically a desk with a lamp and a staple gun and a few boxes of staples. You see, I don't craft. Or rather, I don't craft very well. This surprises people as I have artistic abilities but seem to lack whatever it is that makes a person a successful crafter. I suspect it's patience and the ability to follow instructions or some sort of guideline. For example, last month I hosted a little Christmas party for a few close friends. I figured it was a perfect time to make a few paper snowflakes to hang around the house. Off I went to my craft corner with a little instruction manual on how to make paper snowflakes. Brief chaos occurred resulting in two sad little torn up snowflakes that didn't look much like snowflakes and a burst of profanity that made John shudder. That was the end of that. However, I do make a pretty decent canvas print and I enjoy wielding a staple gun so all is well again in the craft corner. I don't know when I will make it back so when these eight canvas prints are gone, there's no guarantee when more will appear. Although, I am wrapping up some commercial work that I've been working on this past while, so hopefully I will get to spend more time with the staple gun.
Also, I should mention that I may have an original ready either later today or tomorrow. It's a part of my 'Black Walnut Manor' series just in case you're interested....

Nightshade, oil on canvas, 10"x10". Sold.
Truth be told, there is is no actual nightshade in this painting. I suppose it's the starry wallpaper background that led to the title of the painting. At least I think that's wallpaper. See, I don't even understand what I paint.
