I can't believe it's been over one whole month since I last posted!  Time just flies right by. I hope your summer has been going well.  We are having a fantastic stretch of sun in Seattle with no rain.  Yep- we are getting worried at the possibility that next week Tuesday, Seattle will have set a NEW record for the most consecutive days without rain!!  The sun is great, but... I do miss the rain :)

Summer sale on my website now!  Been thinking of purchasing one of my original paintings?  I am currently having a summer sale on my pieces- 20% off marked prices!

Cleveland Art Museum with my daughter!!
Alex Katz paintings were inspiring from the mid century.  Had never seen his work in person before so it was a treat.  Until next time, Shann

Just put the finishing touches on this gem.  I love the mauve and pinks.

This painting is in memory of the trip my husband and I took to Deauville.
I'll never forget taking the train back to Paris without a reserved seat!  I had purchased the ticket myself in haste, being late for departure, and didn't realize it until we were underway.  I had a large piece of luggage.  Wondered around I think for half an hour before someone kindly invited me to share their seat!  Lesson learned.

I've been painting almost every day :)  I have finished one interior and one still life.  And this is what's on my easel right now

I think I want the Windsor chair to be lighter- not so red. I'll upload my new pieces as time allows.

In regards to my Etsy shop, I may decide to keep it closed for the entire summer.  The building permits for my new art studio have just been completed- so very excited I am!!  A lot of work to be done this summer, answering my builders construction questions, as well as finalizing material selection.  More later, Shann
