Winter's Sun and the year is setting

available here

Wow, has this year flown by! I don't know about you but I'm glad it's over. I've had a great year as far as my art goes but with my mom's health it's been a tough one. Next year will be better and I'm really excited about it! My mom is doing great on her medication so far and the frequent doctor visits have subsided a bit. We don't have to go for a month! We have been going about once a week since September so it will be nice. The drive is no fun! We do make the best of it though and I'll miss our weekly shopping excursions.
In the studio, I'm still working on, working larger. This one is a 16x20 inch acrylic. It's nice to take a break from the oil paints for a bit. But I'm already missing them.

The winner is announced!

on my easel today

I've been working on some figures lately and still have a few more of the series to get to. The winner of the giveaway is Shelly G.! Thank you so much for all of your entries! Look for more in the future!

I hope you're all enjoying the season! We're getting our tree today (while it's not raining!) and might decorate this weekend. My mom is feeling good, a little tired because of the Chemo pill. Here white blood cell and platelet count has dropped to a critical level so we're being cautious about things. They took her off of it and waiting for it rise before continuing. Please keep her in your thoughts.
I'm staying very busy painting and time is flying by! We're all going to Hawaii in the Spring for a girls getaway! I can't wait! Happy Holidays if I don't get back here…but I should. :)

This is an original impressionist oil painting, of a woman. She's sitting in her vintage hat and gloves possibly waiting for someone. Maybe just waiting for the rain to stop. What if she's enjoying the sound of the rain? The colors are blue, grey, sea foam green, and a very subdued purple. Her dress is a dark crimson red, plum hue. This painting was completed with high quality gamblin oil paints with a palette knife and brushes for lots of interesting textures. Inspired by vintage fashion, rainy days, and my tube of phthalo blue! 

Thanks for looking!

Thank you all for your thoughtful comments. It really means a lot to have your support through all of this. I'm back to painting again and it feels good. We're putting good healing thoughts out there and my mom feels your prayers too! There's a light surrounding her. This month, being Breast Cancer Awareness month, it's on all of our my minds. This year more than ever. I've had my own scare with a lump and I'm kicking myself now, wishing I had demanded the biopsy 6 months ago when I had the ultrasound. I just had the 6 month follow up ultrasound and they told me that I need a biopsy now because "it shouldn't have grown that much in 6 months".  Ok…that doesn't sound good. If I had just asked for the biopsy back then I wouldn't be worried now. But…my P.A. said the breast imaging center is overly cautious about things and since they weren't worried, he's wasn't either. I went along with that and now it's grown. It's a tumor, no matter what, so I'll most likely have to have a lumpectomy or more. But in the meantime...I'm painting and large! 

I love painting on this size canvas. So much freedom!
