One is called Sunshine and the other will be called Blush. Done in the same vein as the moss/lilac one called You Have My Heart. I'm so excited to do these. One of the song lyrics is "it was you, right down the line"...you guys know that song? Hint: Gerry Rafferty.

What does an artist do with a surplus of tea-bag tabs?  Why, she makes art of course! ...New series inspired by "Tea Bag Wisdom" #YogiTea

These are small scale (4" x 6") canvas...testing them out.  I loved doing them so much that I am creating a larger-scaled collection inspired by "tea-bag wisdom".

A lady walks into an artist's studio...

A lady walks into the studio the other day.  I ask her if she's looking for anything in particular.  She says, "Yes, three small and similar paintings for a gift."  

I say ok and show her a few options.  

We're not finding anything that suits, so I ask her a few more questions to understand the recipients and the story.

As I'm listening to her story, I keep getting goose bumps all over my body.  I knew I was going to create these pieces whether she bought them or not.

In summation, the paintings are a "thank you" gift for three lawyers in Israel who had helped one of her family members out of a difficult situation.  

I told her she had walked into the right place, offered to create three paintings for her in the style she preferred and that I'd have them ready in a few days so she can take them with her to Israel when she leaves in a week.  

Done.  Check out the progression shots below.

I'm really, really honored and humbled to have created these for her.  I'm still getting goosebumps when I think about it.

There is a bright orange underpainting.  Psychology indicates orange evokes Courage and Confidence.  Appropriate in this case.

I chose words that were relevant and that felt right, translated them to Hebrew, and embedded them into the next layer.  i like to think the energy of those words is discreetly ​emanating from the paintings.

Next I added some layers of colors that felt right.  Then added the natural hemp twine in deliberate patterns.  Painted over all of that a subtle abstract landscape.

People ask me all the time, "How do you know when you're done with a painting?" I think the answer is, "When I love it and wouldn't change a thing." Well, I wouldn't change a thing on this one and I do love it...so it's DONE! :)

I used actual dirt from Silver Oak's Alexander Valley vineyard, their delectable Cabernet, and more!  Read captions to see how each element was manipulated into this painting.
