painting

i have missed summerland
i've been busy painting and not just on canvas
this is my dining table it was a painting table in the studio


but a coat of this amazing paint in old white
some wax and now i love it
my small intimate romantic dining table

above it is a painting from a stay at obras in the alentjo region of portugal



i see it and remember


another table



this one i have had for 20years
my twins did their homework on it...its been my studios
a little sanding down and a lick of paint and wax and now its my lovely desk


above it a series of paintings called journey


painted in memory of a dear friend
i think he would like it


and today's little treat

from fabulous flowers who are going to have their own blog post ...soon

lovely table indeed but my eye went straight to the painting above
and then
thankfully
you provided a bigger version
mind-reading in advance

Sally Stafford said...

ah India not sure about mind reading and certainly a better photo would be good...but i am so enjoying creating a different space and feel using paintings that are experimental...personal...thank goodness for blogs and a chance to share them :)
