Shaya Restaurant

Shaya in New Orleans, LA, is a lovely spot on Magazine Street and serves delicious hummus and entrees. Uncharateristically of the Southern food scene, the food is Israeli. And, it is a total wow!

Masterpiece du Jour ;)

Unfinished, 10 x 8", Oil

Dear Imaginary Readers,

Here is my newest "Masterpiece." I painted this last Monday, and tomorrow I am hoping to finish it.

And then I will probably spend forever refinishing it!
It has been fun to paint boats. These are on Solomon's Island, Maryland.

Your Imaginary Friend,

Patsie

Just This Wednesday...

Cache Pot with Tulips, Oil, 2011, 16 x 12"

I started something new a couple of days ago: this painting of a cache pot with tulips. The colors are a primary scheme, for optimal contrast. It is unfinished. I am still working on it, trying to bring it to a higher level of beauty. This is a real pansy plant, but all of its pansies were dead. But I think it needed some, so I made them up.

Wish me luck finishing it! Sometimes that is the hardest part, because we all leave the part we don't know how to do until the end. If we knew how to fix things, they would already be fixed.



In love with Spring,
Patsie
