Fresh Off the Easel

Hi Everyone,
Sorry it has been long overdue since I post something on my studio blog. This summer has been just so busy for us. We have had many guests and lots of work to do around our home. Then came Fall and the yard work was heavy. I have never done so much raking. Anyways, we finally hired some guys to do the raking in the back. I never thought this house of mine would be so much work. However, I do love our home and property, so as my dad said "When you love your Trees your love your Leaves"...LOL

Anyways, I have finally had a chance to finish my commission painting - 120 x 100 cm. This painting is based on a combination of my Beach Colours series and my Italian Summer's End painting. The painting is entitled "Mary's Summer Delight" I will be varnishing shortly and delivering to my customer. She saw a pic of the painting and is very pleased.

Wishing you all wonderful week. We are having some amazing Spring like weather here in Ottawa.

And a few pics of some Fall shots at my home:

New Studio Pics

Hi Everyone, Thought I would post some pics of my new studio - finally finished. I really love my new studio but miss my beautiful window and view of the Oresund in Copenhagen. Oh well, I can always paint out on my deck in the summer months. Now I will be now working on my new 100 x 120 cm painting. It will be a combination of my "An Itlian Summer's End and Beach Colours painting". My sister has comissioned me to do this painting for her new home. She wants a beach theme in her living room.

A few pics of some of my funky florals all hanging together. I have approached a couple of galleries here in Ottawa to have them displayed so they will soon be leaving. It is always sad to see your paintings leave.

A few pics of our backyard, finally getting it finished. My husband was busy sanding the deck all weekend and I was painting some teak oil on the garden furniture. We just need some warmer weather now so I can take a dip in the pool.

Finally a Move In Update

Hi Everyone, Well it has been almost 2 months since our container arrived from Denmark with all our belongings and we have been so busy these past months unpacking and organizing our belongings and shoveling all that snow. It has been a very hard, long winter here in Ottawa.

We are finally seeing the light and are enjoying our new home. The weather has also been really beautiful with summer temperatures--we went right from winter to summer...lol. I am so happy to see the green grass and the blooming flowers. The past 2 weeks I have been busy working on our property: raking the grass, blowing old leaves and fixing up the rock gardens.

Now that the yard work is done, I am about to finish the work in my art studio. I can’t wait to get it up and running and begin painting again. I have really been having creativity withdrawal. I have a few ideas for some paintings and look forward to starting them soon. I attach a few pics here of our new home (you can see all the snow). I will have to take some outside soon. I will also be posting a few pics of my studio soon and my latest works in progress.

Wishing you all a wonderful week! It’s good to get back to my blog and also stop by all my friends’ blogs which I try to visit every other day! I also to want to Thank You All so much for all your lovely wishes on our move back to Canada.

A few pictures of our new home:
