Welcome. I am so happy that you stopped by. My front door is always open to invite you in to sit and relax with a cup of tea while I share with you the inspirations behind my paintings.
Bentley, my Studio Assistant, is waiting for you to bring you into our kitchen to show you inspirations for a painting with a Country French look.
My door is always open for you to come in.
I am often inspired by my everyday surroundings - Fall fruit from the Farmers Market - an old French enamel pitcher with fresh Sunflowers sitting on the kitchen table.
Finding inspiration . . . . .
" No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine". John 15:7
Here . . . .
One of my friends has a Country French kitchen with lots of red an white check and yellow accents. She fell in love with the enamel pitcher with Sunflowers and bowl of pears and wanted me to paint her a small painting for her kitchen using the pitcher and pairs and red and white check table cloth. She loves the loose French Impressionist style and that was the inspiration for the little painting that I painted.
There . .. . Everywhere . . . . .
The completed painting.
Thank you for stopping by. I love hearing from you and sincerely appreciate your visits, comments and those who follow my blog. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to see me paint something special.
Have a lovely week. Blessings, Erin

Your photos and paintings showcase the beauty in our gardens and in your tablescapes too.
I do so enjoy the Autumn also and it does inspire an artist to pick up that palette and put something beautiful on canvas.
Love your painting it is so cheerful and yet definitely shows the end of season to perfection.
Have a great creative weekend!
