Painting All Things "INTERIOR"

Mug and Yellow Petunias

I love everything house, home and hearth.

I believe that many of life's simple pleasures are linked to the stability and inspiration of the "domestic mystique".

Part of this mystique for me, are all things pottery, china, porcelain - specially blue and white.

So I look for such pieces in antique marts and stores, often bringing home treasures for trite.

These find a place on an amazing bookshelf my husband built for my studio, which I promptly named, "Inspiration Station".

So here's one such antique find, "My Lucky Cup" a small English, bone china mug paired with Petunias from my yard and painted from a live set up.

Every time I paint this little mug, the painting either sells immediately or gets raving reviews.

This one received over 600 likes, 40+ comments and several shares!

I love interiors. Should have been an interior decorator. But then...not quite.

The call of ART was stronger.

So, I paint interiors. Make sense?

What is it in us ladies that loves, loves, loves pottery; and china; and fabric; and patterns; and shapely glass; and copper pots; and kitchens; and beautiful bathrooms; and cozy living rooms; and inviting dining grooms; and intimate nooks; and tinkling fountains; and blooming arbors; and garden paths?

Granted, the last three aren't exactly "interiors" but they are still "IN", that is, part of our intimate home-lives.

I think every woman is a born hostess. First to her own family. Secondly, to all in her life that she invites across her threshold.

The world of home and garden is our "realm". There, we imprint our personalities, all of the beauty of our soul-interior.

So, yes, as a home-maker, interior designer, I not only love to create a warm, "take-in" ambiance in every room of my house, but also to paint such scenes.

Here are my latest "Interior" paintings, a cozy bedroom and then a warm, inviting living room with a beauty of a red, velvet couch.
