Sisters



Sisters
11"x 14"
Acrylic on canvas

Older piece I created because I was fascinated with a set of dolls my mother owned...They looked the same(Large heads and eyes, same features), but their dresses were different colors, and they both had a string attached to their backs...when you pulled the string, their large eyes close, and reopened as a new set of eyes(different colors)...there were 5-7 different sets of eyes on each doll...really enjoyed being so expressive and loose with this piece....

Tea Set and Raspberries




Tea Set and Raspberries
6"x6"
Acrylic on panel

I decided to paint part of a cute little tea set my boyfriend bought when we were in Salem Massachusetts last year.  We decided to do the whole touristy witch  trial thing on our way back from doing some family stuff in Boston. I wanted something red to go with the tea set...Cherries and cranberries were out of season so I decided to pick up some raspberries which I had never painted before...I was a little worried because they are so intricate, but I feel like I tackled it pretty quickly...My grandmother used to collect pieces from different tea sets and when I was little we would have tea time, which was always so much fun...usually we would have something like shortbread with our tea
