Fantasy Cottage Series
14 x 18 Cottage Oil Painting on Canvas


So much fun! I have had this idea for awhile and just recently got all the details together in my head. It was fun painting something out of the box for me. I think this will be a fun series to pursue.  I live in a mountain cottage in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. It was originally a mountain vacation home. We have been working on it for years to make it a primary home. It is an ongoing project but we love living here. A big change from city life. 
I think being surrounded by mountains, trees, birds, butterflies and so many other wild animals
and overlooking the lake prompted my idea for this series.  I also came across a similar dress when I was doing research for this composition and fell in love with it. I can image curling up under one of those big mushrooms and taking in the sounds of the waterfall and watching the Monarch Butterflies. Could you?

Enjoy

Thank you Charlotte :)

11 x 14 Oil Painting of Interior

When Gauguin, having accepted Van Gogh’s invitation, 
began dragging his heels, the Dutchman earmarked the last 
two of the four original Sunflowers for the modest bedroom 
where his guest would sleep following his arrival that autumn. “Van Gogh saw the production of the Sunflowers for Gauguin’s bedroom as a way of enticing his friend to come from Brittany,” says Bailey.

I recently came across a painting by Vincent van Gogh similar 
to the view out of this window. I could picture myself sitting
here having tea with Vincent overlooking a sea of Sunflowers.
It seemed to make his so happy to paint them all the time. it 
was one of his favorite subjects. The flooring is my take on
one of his paintings. I love the soft greens against the golds.

The brilliant blue dining set is so adorable. The blue
represents the brilliant blue he always used in his paintings.
Enjoy
Tea with Vincent





The table is waiting for Vincent and all set up with cakes, teaspoons and checked napkins


Just got this lovely email from one of my collectors and wanted to share: Thank you Heather.

Dear Madison,  
 This is a  divine painting - absolutely beautiful.   Love Van Gogh -  Love the  'blue' colour of the  furniture, in the style of Van Gogh's  furniture (rustic) in his bedroom painting.    Almost bought a pale  'blue' suede 3 seater  sofa when we were living in Sao Paulo for 5 years in the 1990s.  Regret not having bought it.   T his painting will bring so much joy to anyone who sets eyes on  it.
It would have made Van Gogh proud  - you have captured his essence in it.    Anyone who paints  flowers  such as Sunflowers, Narcissus/Daffodils ,Irises, Peonies  must have a beautiful soul.  These flowers are so beautiful (not forgetting  orchids and Pansies).   If I had to live in a house like this overlooking  a beautiful field of Sunflowers I would spend my whole life day dreaming.   Love the orange centres you've given the Sunflowers - brings them to life in a special way.    The colour co-ordination of the   added items in the picture such as the   dark brown of the backs of the chairs, the orange frame of the picture on the wall, the beautiful carpet , the teapot, the  bowl  on the side board, framed photo of Van Gogh with his pipe,  the curtain, the  little red roof house in the background with the backdrop of the blue mountains add so much charm to this particular painting of yours - making  it really 'Special' in every way.  This means you must have been in a beautiful frame of mind while painting.   Thank you so much for sharing this painting with me.  

Hope both you and your hubby are doing fine.  

Thinking of you.  God bless!
Close with my warmest regards,

Heather

I was researching for ideas for sofas for new paintings
and ran across a similar sofa to this and fell in love.
This sofa inspired this painting. 

I have been wanting to do
some of Picasso's from his Black and White Exhibit.
The Center photo is the poster from that exhibit and
the others were in the exhibit.

Enjoy

I painted a very similar painting to this one last year.
This one is 30 x 40 and bit larger than the first at 24 x 36.
I made several subtle changes to this one to keep each one
an original for the collectors.

I added three cats as this collector is a cat lover.
I also changed many colors as well as the artists hair
being red instead of blonde and her clothes are different
 as well.

I am blessed that my paintings generally sell quickly.
However, many collectors have seen sold paintings that they
would like to have. I offer similar repaints such as this piece.
The good thing about repaints is that you can have any size
you wish and can take away or add any elements that you would 
like to have in your composition.

I always imagined myself having a great studio with huge
windows like this in Paris. What better than to be painting
my impression of Picasso's Dora Marr.

Enter my imagination and visit me

that you would like to have, contact me with your ideas.



Dora Maar became the rival of Picasso's blonde mistress, Marie- Therese Walter, who had a newborn daughter with Picasso, named Maya. Picasso often painted beautiful, sad Dora, who suffered because she was  sterile, and called her his "private  muse." For him she was the "woman in tears" in many aspects. During their love affair, she suffered from his moods, and hated that in 1943 he had found a new lover,  Francoise Gilot. 
She made herself better known in the art world with her photographs of the successive stages of the completion of Guernica, which Picasso painted in his workshop on the rue des Grands Augustins, and other photographic portraits of Picasso. Together, she and Picasso studied printing with Man Ray. Maar kept her paintings for herself until her death in 1997. They were souvenirs  of her extraordinary love affair, which made her famous forever. In Paris, still occupied by the Germans, Picasso left to her a drawing from 1915 as a goodbye gift in April 1944; it represents  Max Jacob, his close friend who had just died in the transit camp of  Drancy after his arrest by the Nazis.  He also left to her some still lives and a house at Menerbes in Provence.
