Another journal page from Italy!
My friend and I arrived into Italy a few days early to explore before our Adventures in Italy class(I think this was 2011 or 2010 Sharon T). One of our adventure was a trip to Villa d'Este in Tivoli.
This photo is one of the 100 fountains in the wall…"Le Cento Fontane"(The Hundred Fountains)…the entire villa is breathtaking…the grounds, the grotto, the steps go on forever….and then there's the interior…click on the link above if you'd like to learn more….

Because I'm Happppppy!
Once those lyrics get in my head….glee is inevitable…it's time for skipping…wiggling…clapping, bouncing with the pup, smiles... smiles… and layering of vibrant garden hues that make me…..
HAPPY!!!!
Betting you are too!

A Glimpse
It's one of those days where I must calm my mind and tend to domestic responsibilities. I can live in chaos to a point…then…the twitchiness sets in. I will catch up on the news, listen to music as I scrub and dust and organize the "twitchies" away…then I will begin messing things up again as I continue to work on several series…here's a glimpse of one:
Happy Friday to you…More to follow!

Seeing Red
Continuing on my series of The Average Woman…
Latest works include "Seeing Red"
A diptych - two 16 x 20 canvases…good motivation to go larger next project…
Featuring canvas one…the colors are so different from the above photo…not sure why, but this is closer to the tones in the actual piece. Multitudes! of layers! These pieces started out as compositions of ginkgo leaves….they're still detectable if you look closely.
A closer look at canvas two…wondering if your eye goes directly where mine does?
A closer crop of canvas one to share texture details, lots of sgraffito and some collaging from a chinese newspaper confiscated long ago from a business trip…if only I knew what it said!
The inspiration for this piece in my Average Woman series was the color RED and the connotation of RED in the Chinese language: JOY & Good Fortune. Notice the relationships in shape and pattern versus the lines of dark colors and the blocks ranging from cool to warm colors interlaced with text…what does this piece say to you?
And it just SO happens I was thinking of Ms. Jenny today…give her a visit!

Homage to Lilly P
While working on my new contemporary figure series, I finished this piece...
Lots of wonderful texture on this piece created with acrylics and gels. I also included acrylic skins on the focal point flower.
My inspiration was Lilly Pulitzer. She was quite well known for her "preppy Palm Beach" style. Bright pinks and greens are her trademark.
According to Wikipedia: "Lilly and husband Peter Pulitzer settled in Palm Beach, Florida, shortly after their marriage. Peter owned several Florida citrus orange groves, and with produce from the groves Lilly opened a juice stand on Via Mizner, just off Worth Avenue in Palm Beach. In the course of working at the juice stand, Lilly found that squeezing juice made a mess of her clothes. Seeking to camouflage the juice stains, she designed a sleeveless shift dress made of bright, colorful printed cotton. She found that customers loved her dress, so she produced more in order to sell them at her juice stand. Eventually, she was selling more dresses than juice, and decided to focus on designing and selling what had become known as her "Lillys".[4]" Who knew?
See you there!

On My Easel
Progressing along on this piece...
I always think it's interesting to review your art through the camera lens.
Another perception....
Different focal points sometimes emerge...
What do you see?
