I am sharing a couple more of my mother's paintings...

"THE WINK"
I remember her painting this from a picture on theback of a Reader's Digest....
She just clipped it on to her easel and drew it with pencil first...
then....she started filling it in with these glorious colors...
mixing the colors to get just the right shade is a HUGH
important part of painting I've been told...
*
Her painting looked better than the photograph !
*
"SIT AND REST"*
I didn't have the pure pleasure to watch her paint this one.
My son loved it so much that he asked if she would paint
one just like it for him....
Of course, she did....
but somehow...it is different...a little difference in color...
in the bricks on the floor.... the sunlight reflected.....
she said you could NEVER paint two just alike as anything
HAND DONE
is a ONE OF A KIND and can never be completely copied.
*
Son's painting was just as pretty....just different.
I know you artists out there understand this.....
*
I have this painting just propped up...the frame it has been*
in for years is not to my liking anymore so I am on the hunt
for just the right one...
BWAAAAA.....I WISH I COULD PAINT !!

BJ, I love the texture in that first painting, but my fav is the one of the chairs. You're right, it is very peaceful. A scene like that could seem sad and empty, but she brought out the feeling of a peaceful place to relax.
ReplyDeleteWow! Such amazing paintings! I wish I were good at that sort of thing!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by and taking part in my giveaway! Be sure to stop by tomorrow, I'm planning to share my Lavender Honey Bunches recipe! It's a goodie! :)
Dear BJ
ReplyDeleteWHATTTTT your 71 really? I just re-read your profile. I don't believe you. You look fab.
Ok on to the paintings. So much talent. Artists are very special in my mind. My husband started painting when we lived in Wyoming. He would go downstairs with a good bottle of wine and in the morning there it was, a painting. Really good ones. Really.
As for my favorite? I would have to say the porch one. I have always wanted a porch like that.
Ok bed time.
Nice to see you again.
Love Claudie

wonderful treasures!! Happy Blue Monday ~ Susan
ReplyDeleteOh BJ she was so talented! I wish I could paint too. Oh what fun that would be! I'm off to have a cup of tea and hit the hay. Hope you have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Dena
The paintings are all beautiful and all so different. I love the bird winking! It's precious! ♥ Diane
ReplyDeleteOh, Jean, your mother was so talented! Guess that means you can by it naturally, doesn't it? I love the picture with the bird winking. It is so sweet! How many of her pictures do you have? My mother drew "house plans" that would make an architect proud, but unfortunately I don't have any of them. Boo Hoo! Don't know what happened to them. They will give your children pleasure just remembering both you and their grandmother every time they look at them because they've seen how you cherish them now. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Martha
