'Princess Zelda'

Original Oil

5" x 7"

Once feral Zelda, resides in a lovely South Carolina forever home. She has her very own screened porch where she's known to supervise geckos, ducks, and even baby deer.

The only flaw in this perfect life-her very bossy brother cat, Link!

I really enjoyed painting all the fluffy texture in her cozy bed.

'Mommy and Me'

Original Oil

5" x 7"

Have you ever thought you could just 'whip up' a painting for a surprise gift?

Apparently, there's no whipping up for me.

It seems at the last minute, I drown myself in details.

I know, I know.

But, I have to say, I stand by my added-at-the-last-minute-this-

little-cow-family-needs-a-house barn!

'Square Spot'

Original Oil

5" x 7"

Let's play 'Have You Ever'. Have you ever painted a spotted dog? YES and what fun, especially this soulful little fellow clutching his very own puppy. For even more of a hoot, I added all-over squares.

I have been off on some adventures. Recently, I have come home to painting.

The Starter

5" x 7"

Oil On Panel

"If you could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint."

Edward Hopper

Sometimes a photograph or words just aren't enough. Your first home is just special.

This little house has been replaced by something much larger and now its owners wanted it remembered in paint.

I so enjoyed painting this cozy little place and its trees.

Why do we always think bigger will be better?

'The Girls'

Oil On Canvas

11" x 14"

Robert Henri said, "paint the flying spirit of the bird rather than its feathers."

Prior to painting these young ladies, I had met two of them some years ago only for a brief moment; the third not at all. However, by the end of the painting, I felt as if I knew them. It was as if I could feel their personalities through my brush.

Speaking of the feathers on a bird, I have discovered that I really enjoy painting fabric patterns.

Miss Kitty

"My name is Miss Kitty and this is Gary. His lap belongs to me. Is that clear enough?

I'm an independent lady and all, but the day I found my Gary's house was a good day indeed. I do exactly what I please, but I always come home to my lap."

This picture just needed to be painted. Who wouldn't want to paint these pajamas AND a furry kitty?

I do love peonies. Not so much to paint though-all those ruffles are a bit much for me at times.

This began as an existing painting with a different pitcher in the background. I am liking this new little Louisville Stoneware pitcher in the painting. And how about its flower name- Bachelor Button? I just love that.

Cupcakes For A Little One

noreply@blogger.com (Sharon Rose Smith) — Sat, 26 Sep 2015 23:33:00 +0000

SOLD

Commission

14" x 18"

on canvas

This painting will hang in the nursery of a sweet little baby girl named Amelia. The painting began with a simple plan. Don't they always? The plan - just three cupcakes on a shelf. No, huh uhh. That looked so barren in the background. From rumination, which tends for me to be sitting around waiting for flashes of insanity, came the idea of wallpaper back there behind those cupcakes!
The wallpaper pattern took me forever, but after that was nailed down it was fun.

The painting framed:
I am loving this frame for the nursery!
I painted the frame, too.

You may have noticed that
I have been missing in action from my blog.
I have
two excuses:

First: Lots of Commissions!
Second: This thing, my fitbit.

I got the fitbit for Christmas, but paid it little mind until my birthday, March 11, 2015. It was then I decided to challenge myself to 10,000 steps per day for 30 days. And - I DID IT!

Now, I am addicted to the 10,000 steps routine. I do not do it every day-but most days I am out there. So much time out of my day is now spent taking steps. I have already worn out two pair of shoes!

Things fall by the wayside. Some important stuff, but mostly what does not get done has not been life altering.

I think having so much fun street walking WILL change my life, though : )

Peonies

5" x 5"

Original Oil On

Ampersand Museum Quality Panel

SOLD

I spent a good part of my life living in Wisconsin where the reward for surviving the brutal winter is peonies in the spring. I miss peonies here in South Carolina where they are much more difficult to grow.

I can not resist tiny vases full of flowers. What is more beautiful? This tiny piece of perfection begged to be immortalized in paint.

Usually I shy away from painting flowers because I am flat out scared of them- especially "petally" flowers! For these peonies I relaxed a bit and practiced seeing shapes and not the millions of folds and tiers.

The Farmer and His 1965 Chevy Truck

24" x 18"

Original Oil Painting on Canvas

Commission

This was a difficult story to write. The cows had to exist along side the truck and the farmer had his work to do. Meanwhile it was my job to see that everyone was happy on this day in their world. I have always admired writers. Sometimes I get to paint a story with my brush.

I hope everyone likes the ending!

The Incorrigibles

5" x 7"

Original Oil On Panel

Commission

Don't these two remind you of Grant Wood's couple in his painting with the pitchfork? (Just please never let either of them gain access to a pitchfork!)

Webster's definition of incorrigible is bad beyond correction or reform - which to a "t" describes the behavior of these two misfits.

Meet Hazel and Zeke. Hazel is a big girl, but Zeke can handle her just fine, thank you very much. The day Hazel arrived at Zeke's house, his anxiety ridden life became one of unending bad girl fun.

Hazel has been with Zeke for about nine months and she still seems to have an endless supply of naughtiness up her long furry paws...and to think she was brought in to calm Zeke.

Rich Squirrel

5" x 7"

Original Oil on Museum Quality Panel

I found this lucky squirrel playing in his charming little courtyard in Charleston, South Carolina. He patiently posed, with his mouth full, while I stuck my phone through the wrought iron fence to shoot. I still cant believe I got the picture. This never happens for me-people, cows-everything moves just as I take the picture.

I am so pleased with this painting. I have had it in my head for a very long time and it translated from said head to canvas quite well. That does not always happen. It is such a good thing when it does :) .

Original Oil on Canvas

Commission

I have been painting a lot. And this little fella wins the 'most fun to paint' award.

He's a little pound kitty. He was caught feral, neutered and meant for release. The corner of his ear was cut off to mark him as neutered. But he was just too friendly to release into the wild. He was deemed adoptable and lives in Louisville, Kentucky with his forever family.

Golden Wheat in Robin's Egg Blue is the name of the sugar bowl's china pattern. (It had me at the name!) The sugar bowl is a piece from my mother's Sunday dishes. She managed to keep her entire set perfectly intact. Amazingly, her dishes survived six children.

I have loved these dishes since I was a child. My mother acquired her set of dishes piece by cherished piece. I believe she used green stamps from my father's gas purchases to do so.

Clark Was Here

8" x 10"

Oil On Canvas

Commission

Clark is a lucky guy. He lives the college life and pretty much his every command is met post haste. However, he would want everyone to know that he did have to work a bit harder for cat attention during thesis writing time. Clark is smart though; after all, he recently earned his college degree right along side his people.

When demands are unmet, protest! Pick up the pen and state your grievances. Then stage a nap smack dab in the middle of things- works every time it's tried.
