It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...by Pamela Blaies

He Knows My Favorite Color

oil on linen

SOLD

OK - so the weather here in Texas isn't snowy, yet. But while shopping over the weekend, it was nice to hear Christmas music piping through the speakers, then more Christmas music in the car on the way home. I am excited that the Christmas season is upon us. I am also very happy to share that the painting "He Knows My Favorite Color" found a new home this past weekend!

God Bless America! by Pamela Blaies

Blushing Basketful

I hope you enjoyed Memorial Day weekend. It seems inadequate to say "Thank You," but how thankful I am to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for my freedom. God Bless America!

My Petite Painting Project - 100 paintings in 100 days is coming right along. I think I am getting close to painting #60! These roses didn't last very long and I had too many commitments, so I wasn't able to paint them enough. I think I will go to the market today and get some more!

Rose Care Tip by Pamela Blaies

Heirloom Pinks

6" x 6"

oil on linen panel

Love these Heirloom garden roses I found at the market! The way the petals curl inward toward the center is so charming. I put them in this footed glass bowl which perfectly shows them off. I am keeping ice cubes in their water, so they won't open up too fast (warm water makes them open up sooner) and hopefully I will be able paint them for several more days.

Sometimes Less is More by Pamela Blaies

Red Rosebud

6" x 6"

oil on linen panel

I found this rosebud in my yard on a rosebush full of blooms. I was tempted to add another rose to the composition, but sometimes less is more and this was one of those times. I love the elegance of this painting.

I Deserve a Cup of Tea by Pamela Blaies

Tea Rose

9" x 12"

oil on canvas

I've begun the first stages of preparing for my new studio. I worked all day on some of the work that must be done before the construction can start. It was tiring and I didn't get any painting done, but my new space with be almost double what I have now, so I'm very excited.

This is one of my newest paintings. I love the feeling of it.  It also makes me think... I should have a cup of tea right now!
