From The urban villa - Stamford CT 21st  August 2014

Hi Guys,

I know it’s been forever since I’ve posted anything on here, but life and work have gotten away from me.  With all that has occupied my time, I have managed to squeeze in painting time. As many of you may know my specialty /style is historic landscapes. For inspiration I use many sources, from pictures I have taken myself in my travels, to several online groups that I participate in, weather on FaceBook or from various blogs that I follow.

I will share with you my last few paintings –the first is “Wooding Manor” inspired by a picture from a FB group.

Please note that I am saying ‘Inspired by “, as my painting are my interpretation of the pictures. 

Once I gave a little TLC

As found

    

Next inspiration is an interesting twist – the house model  shown above,  my partner & I found in an antique store in Clinton CT – I had actually made this 15 years ago to donate to an auction that benefited a local animal shelter. Imagine my shock to be reunited with it! The model house has become the inspiration for two pieces – a painting and a diorama type piece that was used as our Christmas card for 2013
