Blue and White Inspiraitons From My Kitchen

Welcome.  I am so happy that you stopped by.  My kitchen is always open for you to come in and sit and relax with a cup of tea while I share with you the inspirations for my art. We are having what we call a "cold wave" in Southern California and it is not expected to get over 50 today so we will not be in the garden looking for inspirations.

Bentley, My Studio Assistant, is wearing his new Christmas sweater it is so cold today and is standing at the door waiting to come in.

I just got home from Trader Joe's and bought a bunch of Sunflowers. I am using a new camera and have not figured out how to use it - sorry for the poor quality of the photos!!

Can you tell that I love blue and white?  Now you know why so many of my paintings have a piece of blue and white china in them that I call  my signature piece.

                      I love having the mirror by the sink as it reflects the little patio garden off my kitchen.

                                                                More blue and white!

I ended up arranging the Sunflowers in a blue and white pitcher and decided to go into my studio to paint them.  Let's go to the studio and I will show you the beginning painting.

                                                           The beginning of the new painting.

                                                       

                                                            Here is the finished painting.

Thank you for stopping by.  I love hearing from you and sincerely appreciate your visit, comments, e-mails and those of you who follow my blog.  My winter bulbs are starting to bloom and maybe by next week some of the Daffodils will be in bloom to paint.

Have a lovely week.   Blessings, Erin
