…. thanks to Sue W for hosting the Weekly Prompts Colour Challenge https://weeklyprompts.com/2022/07/02/weekly-prompts-colour-challenge-vintage-red/

Nothing says vintage red to me like red roses, hibiscus, old fashioned mums, poinsettias and cardinals. There is no doubt that the interior of this royal bedroom in Amboise and the mini library are both vintage colours.

… after months of work my show finally opened

Thanks to all who encouraged me to keep painting and then supported me with a visit to the gallery and/or messages of love. I couldn’t be happier.

Those little red stickers were the icing on the cake.

Ready for the Big Reveal

…the doors open today for “Before and After Paris”

After months of preparation with ordering supplies, painting, framing and advertising, my show is ready for the public to see. I spent hours yesterday, with the help of two good friends hanging the paintings. Barb did a lot of the ladder work and Arlene eyed the levels and curated the placements. We were all very pleased with the final result. For those of you who live close by, I hope to see you at the opening but the show will be up till July 9th.

Here’s a peak of the gallery where every piece you see is mine.

….completely new rose for me

My neighbour, out back, was very excited to share his roses with me. This one was hidden from the street and I didn’t really see it until he invited me into his yard. He says it’s his favourite rose in the garden.
