Short Stack - sold

This is a study for what will be a larger "balance stack" 6" x 18" painting. I wanted a pink cup, and I couldn't find one. I looked everywhere. My husband suggested I get a white cup and paint it pink - literally! So that's what I did. He's so smart... why didn't I think of that. So I painted the cup, and then used it in my painting!

Just Off the Easel - "Balance Series"

Just off the easel! "Balance Series", will be showing at the Columbia Center for the Arts, "Get Centered Show" Public Reception on Friday June 3 from 6-8pm, 215 Cascade St, Hood River, OR, 541-387-8877, along with lots of other interesting art!

It takes a while to get everything balanced so that it will stay stacked long enough to paint, without falling!

The one on the far right already sold, before the show even opened!
Ok, now the middle one with the yellow cup on top, is already sold! (This one will be in the show anyway).

Yellow Cup Study

This is a study for another larger 6x18 "Balanced Cups" painting that I will post soon. I am working on different combinations of cup and plate colors, and compositions for the next painting.

Study for Six Cups

I am going to be in a group show called "Get Centered" at the Columbia Center for the Arts, Hood River, OR. The painting below is for that show, that opens June 3. The daily painting that I am selling online was an initial study for the larger 6"x18" painting below.

Part of my inspiration for the larger painting, was a combination of the Queen of Cup Painting, Carol Marine, and Nancy Switzer, who paints very cool "stacks" of things. I love both of their painting styles. This is my response to the Show, "Get Centered" which is open to interpretation - to me it means Balance... literally! I'm going to do more paintings for the show, maybe I can balance more than 6 cups! I just don't need an earthquake right now, please...
Show opens June 3 from 6-8pm reception, for the month of June, "Get Centered" month at Columbia Center for the Arts, 215 Cascade St, Hood River, OR 541-387-8877
