Things have been a bit crazy lately, and I haven't had much time for anything except the few commissions I'm finishing up.&nbsp; It feels great to get back to my own work, and explore a slightly different direction.<br /> <br /> I have been fairly absent from Etsy, but I did manage to start a Pinterest (it's so fast and easy) account, which I'm already hooked on. If you are bored, or currently perusing Pinterest, you can check it out <a href="http://pinterest.com/clareelsaesser/">here</a>.<br /> <br /> xo<br /> clare<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Tastesorangey/~4/1Qoad9gVOqY" height="1" width="1"/>Clare Elsaesserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11309687071302102267noreply@blogger.com2http://tastesorangey.blogspot.com/2013/04/new-painting_16.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35466189.post-47792415453515355842013-04-10T17:58:00.003-07:002013-04-10T17:58:23.548-07:002013-04-10T17:58:23.548-07:00<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-K3sZ-RkwZb0/UWYKfQ_nBhI/AAAAAAAABdM/vd8cVfKScCY/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-04-10+at+5.37.04+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="490" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-K3sZ-RkwZb0/UWYKfQ_nBhI/AAAAAAAABdM/vd8cVfKScCY/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-04-10+at+5.37.04+PM.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A new 8 x 10 painting titled Grown Up, available <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/129037076/grown-up-original-acrylic-painting-on" target="_blank">here</a>.</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Tastesorangey/~4/u3XUVf-fFzo" height="1" width="1"/>Clare Elsaesserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11309687071302102267noreply@blogger.com0http://tastesorangey.blogspot.com/2013/04/new-painting.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35466189.post-76219691790095300182013-03-15T18:35:00.000-07:002013-03-15T18:35:41.078-07:002013-03-15T18:35:41.078-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LJkPots78wU/UUPL2qiLc-I/AAAAAAAABcs/R9mJDNYHbko/s1600/seaandstarscu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="484" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LJkPots78wU/UUPL2qiLc-I/AAAAAAAABcs/R9mJDNYHbko/s640/seaandstarscu.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7rTfEkeOXrI/UUPL3DwGDUI/AAAAAAAABc0/qgXTev9eNdY/s1600/SeaandStarseaselnew.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="636" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7rTfEkeOXrI/UUPL3DwGDUI/AAAAAAAABc0/qgXTev9eNdY/s640/SeaandStarseaselnew.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XKL9kLnoW5Q/UUPL3v_uEKI/AAAAAAAABc8/6bzc98OIh5w/s1600/seaandstarswood.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XKL9kLnoW5Q/UUPL3v_uEKI/AAAAAAAABc8/6bzc98OIh5w/s640/seaandstarswood.JPG" width="638" /></a></div> <br /> &nbsp;Sea and Stars, 18 x 24 inches, oil on wood, available <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/126562096/sea-and-stars-original-oil-painting?" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /> <br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Tastesorangey/~4/Y-PIf9JuvnM" height="1" width="1"/>Clare Elsaesserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11309687071302102267noreply@blogger.com0http://tastesorangey.blogspot.com/2013/03/new-painting_15.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35466189.post-7721319957476574922013-03-07T18:16:00.000-08:002013-03-07T18:16:09.071-08:002013-03-07T18:16:09.071-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7o2UrmIJqhI/UTlJiw5NviI/AAAAAAAABcU/T36TuaLPGAA/s1600/AHeavySkysmall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7o2UrmIJqhI/UTlJiw5NviI/AAAAAAAABcU/T36TuaLPGAA/s640/AHeavySkysmall.jpg" width="508" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m2g5k6SRuLM/UTlJjJO1tcI/AAAAAAAABcc/V7u3qOEIzNY/s1600/IMG_8652.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m2g5k6SRuLM/UTlJjJO1tcI/AAAAAAAABcc/V7u3qOEIzNY/s640/IMG_8652.JPG" width="634" /></a></div> A Heavy Sky, 8 x 10 inches, acrylic on watercolor paper.

Here is my most recent painting,&nbsp; <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/117181941/in-the-garden-original-acrylic-painting">In the Garden</a>. I was able to finish it last night, right before driving into town (an hour each way) to order business cards and postcards in the Starbucks parking lot, because our satellite internet doesn't cut it. We got tea too...I wouldn't think about stealing internet from Starbucks (well, I did think about it, but it was cold and tea sounded good).<br /> <br /> xo<br /> c<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Tastesorangey/~4/26Dk5TvOH14" height="1" width="1"/>Clare Elsaesserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11309687071302102267noreply@blogger.com2http://tastesorangey.blogspot.com/2012/12/new-painting.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35466189.post-80948116064921414272012-11-07T11:26:00.000-08:002012-11-07T11:26:14.792-08:002012-11-07T11:26:14.792-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lLVk9mHp13M/UJq1FtyT5XI/AAAAAAAABTc/Dxz6zToIZ5k/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-11-07+at+11.20.57+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="494" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lLVk9mHp13M/UJq1FtyT5XI/AAAAAAAABTc/Dxz6zToIZ5k/s640/Screen+Shot+2012-11-07+at+11.20.57+AM.png" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5GqvgYQjU_o/UJq1MUgkSsI/AAAAAAAABTk/MLiQS1J_S6w/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-11-07+at+11.22.22+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="492" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5GqvgYQjU_o/UJq1MUgkSsI/AAAAAAAABTk/MLiQS1J_S6w/s640/Screen+Shot+2012-11-07+at+11.22.22+AM.png" width="640" /></a></div> Just stumbled on this really cute vintage shop, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/xplusyequals?ref=seller_info">x+y=</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; I love how they pair their items with line drawing outfit ideas!<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Tastesorangey/~4/iH8xYTFH_sg" height="1" width="1"/>Clare Elsaesserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11309687071302102267noreply@blogger.com1http://tastesorangey.blogspot.com/2012/11/x-plus-y-equals.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35466189.post-85284759594030676112012-11-05T16:23:00.001-08:002012-11-05T16:23:30.038-08:002012-11-05T16:23:30.038-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kckIn9P7ijs/UJhXhpnAv4I/AAAAAAAABS8/7PoJfii5NU8/s1600/Oh,+Cecilyphoto.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kckIn9P7ijs/UJhXhpnAv4I/AAAAAAAABS8/7PoJfii5NU8/s640/Oh,+Cecilyphoto.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D7KDFJ3oTuo/UJhXk-g2o1I/AAAAAAAABTE/KF8MZsrLJ3c/s1600/Oh,+Cecilysmall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D7KDFJ3oTuo/UJhXk-g2o1I/AAAAAAAABTE/KF8MZsrLJ3c/s1600/Oh,+Cecilysmall.jpg" /></a></div> &nbsp;Just finished a new painting, titled "Oh, Cecily."
