My Paintings

I was cleaning out a closet in the basement today and found something that totally made my day! I found a bunch of paintings that I painted when we lived in our last home. There were 6 of them, all unframed, and just waiting to be set free from their basement closet. I had put them there when we first moved into this house, and totally forgot about them until today! 

I used to paint all the time, but I've had a lot of other things to paint in the last couple years (ahem...an entire house), and I've totally neglected doing something I love. Finding these today totally ignited my spark again, and I've decided to get back in my painter's apron very soon. :)

Anyways, I thought I would share with you a few of my favorite ones.
I have no idea where I will put them, but hopefully I can find a place for them.
I hope you like them!

This one is my abstract one. (Is it weird that all my paintings are super colorful when I obviously am in love with neutral colors?! ha!)



and here's a flower one. I tend to either paint abstract art or flowers. 



and one more flower one.



Thanks for allowing me to share them! I may try to paint something new tomorrow....now that I'm re-inspired!

Also, for all my friends and readers who are stuck in bad weather, I'm thinking of you and hoping that you are staying warm!

  8. LOVE them! Love the colors/love the subject matter! OMG you need to get these into your beautiful living room on the wall opposite the windows! What a statement they'd make there...Totally cool! Well actually they'd be great anywhere in your home. :-)

    I too am a neutrals gal but I would think these would be so much fun in your home. Go for it! Can't wait to see them up somewhere :-)

    Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

    1. ha! Alter ego! I love it! Thank you! I actually use both! The abstract was acrylic and the flowers were oil. I think I used a couple mediums with both, too. It was 5+ years ago, so my brain is a bit cloudy! And yes, a road trip is needed! We need a wine & paint date!! :)
