The flower symbolism associated with the calla lily is magnificent beauty. I'm amazed at the different shapes this flower takes.

Thankfully my daughter-in-law Samantha had an awesome photo she posted to her facebook page! I had limited time today   and needed a subject which didn't require much detail work. This was the perfect subject.
Thank you Sam!

Speaking of facebook I recently created a page for my art. Facebook requires 25 "likes" for the page to have a name for the url. I would appreciate it so much if you would "like" my page at this link if you have a facebook account. That is if you like my work  ;-)

I also have an update on that page of the "Women in the Arts" show which will take place next month.

3 clementines by Ria Hills

5" x 7" daily pastel painting

I bought a few lace runners at the salvation army. I'm always looking for additional props for paintings and these were a real find at $1 each.

Some of you know that my mother had surgery last week. She's doing well and back in her room at the nursing home. It was only a week since surgery and they already have her sitting with all her friends.

More lace runners to come . . .

A painting from the archives today. My hand is still healing but I did manage to complete a watercolor painting today. I have been painting in watercolor a lot and now I'm even planning on doing some writing and children's book illustration. Because this is a pastel only blog I will not be posting about these new adventures here. If you're interested in following my journey please visit my personal blog. Thank you!

An Alpine Snowscene by Carolyn Jean Thompson


"Early Snow" 11 x 14 pastel on archival board
 
Many of us in the northern hemisphere are really tired of winter and snow at this time.  But, during our spring and summer months - snowscape paintings seem like a long forgotten memory...so I thought it best to post this painting now...to remind the skiers and boarders of how happy they were to see "Early Snow" back in November!  Happy Boarding and Skiing!

chocolate tart by Ria Hills

5" x 5" daily pastel painting
unframed

I knew I'd find the perfect cake at Whole Foods Market. This one was a chocolate cheese cake tart - a tiny single person one. My husband said it was delicious!

I wanted to buy more but at $1.99 a pop it would have been an imprudent purchase, especially considering that no one was coming for dinner. Next time I'll bring my camera and beg to take pastry photos . . maybe in exchange for a painting?  . . . . read more at my blog.

silver thimble by Ria Hills

Silver Thimble pastel painting
5" x 7" daily pastel painting
unframed

This antique silver thimble belongs to my mother. I'm guessing it was purchased in the late 1930's in Holland or Indonesia. I can't ask her because she has Alzheimer's disease and her memories are quite skewed. There are many things I wish I had asked about.

I thought a valentine theme might be fun for a few paintings this month. When is it anyway? I think the last time I celebrated this holiday was when I passed out cards in my grammar school class. My husband and I love each other nonetheless.
I think the strawberry should be the fruit icon for Valentine's Day. It's such a voluptuous fruit . . . read more.
