Freshly Painted

Hi Friends, I was so busy planning and sharing my new photography blog site,

Sharon Furner Photography and Prose

 

and working on watercolor sketches

 

that I neglected to share my weekly "Petite Painting" available on this blog.

A few weeks ago it was wonderful to paint in oil, a few more panels ranging in size from 8 x 8 to 8 x 10. Each painting comes with an easel for display, and complimentary shipping.

You will find the entire collection on my website, Sharon Furner  

Just go to the Collections section, click on Petite Paintings. 

Here is today's featured painting/oil on panel.

The Pink Farmhouse

Through my wonderful journeys in the south of France, I have to say I have not actually seen a PINK farmhouse, but if the sun is just right, it magically casts a pinkish glow on the stucco.  

In Havre de Grace, there was a full-blown PINK mansion on the main street of the village. I yearned for a Pink house. Once I was able to go inside, I was so excited. In the end I liked the outside better with its PINK walls, flowing/flowering cottage gardens, white fences..very romantic.

This painting represents things I adore: lavender, fields of poppies, waving grasses, large shady trees and yes, Pink Farmhouses real or imaginary.

Premier Event

Premier Event...well for me it is a Premier Event. No cameras, commentators, red carpet, name on the nightly news, fancy-schmancy ball gown, botox and five inch heels. Fact is, I am sitting here at the computer in my gardening clothes, flip flops, grass clippings clinging to the soles and eating cookies blamed on a grand case of "nerves." But nevertheless this posting is a Premier Event for this blog.

For ever so long, way back to when we lived in Maryland, I have tinkered with the idea of offering paintings directly for purchase on my blog and website. Yays, Nays, asking opinions of others,  self-talk,  research, indecision,  wondering if I could keep it up, would it change my blog's intent which is just to connect and add a smile to your face. SOOOO after much soul searching and taking many things into consideration, my intention  (working word here is INTENTION) is: I will post at most once a week a Petite Painting. By petite I refer to 8 x 10, 10 x 10, 8 x 8 oil painting. The designs will be varied and reflect what I am interested in at the moment. Included will be a stand to hold painting on a desk, table top, shelf or small corner in your home needing a spot of color and attention.  You can also choose to frame. Each size painting sells for the same low price of 125.00.

My gift to you: NO shipping or handling charges. (If I set up the paypal account correctly!!!! smile at this point...eat another cooky.) 

I like to think of this new adventure as a gift to you, my wonderful readers. An original piece of art....ready for display...at an affordable price.

So without further adieu... here is the first Premier Petite Painting....and cross my fingers that Paypal works like a charm. Okay time for yet another cooky!
