Painting #101 Louisiana Sana Oil Sheen

Well. finally...  Painting #101 is making it's appearance.  I'm so sorry about the lag.  I've been fighting off a cold that has made me so tired!  I've actually been painting all the time, but when I sat down to post the painting at night, I just felt so exhausted.  But, here it is!  I painted a scene that I would never really ant to go see...  it's a southern, marshy lake, and I'm sure there's an alligator there.  I hate alligators more than pretty much anything.  But!  I loved the colors, the textures, the lighting, and the mood of the painting.  I used a lot of oil paint to create the very tactile trees and water.  Please, when you receive this painting, feel free to touch it!  Painting are not for eyes only...   

That being said, check out my Etsy page if you would like to feel and see this painting everyday in your house.  EmilyJeffords.etsy.com

Painting #97 Italian Sea Scape

This beautiful 12x16 oil painting can be found on my Etsy Shop: EmilyJeffords.etsy.com

It is a rustic, romantic, earthy, painting of Italy!  I haven't been to Italy - YET.  But, I've lived very, very close to it in Tunisia Africa.  I think if my eye sigh were just a little bit better, I could have seen it from across the Mediterranean sea.  But alas...  I must paint what my own eyes have not seen...  

You however, can still enjoy it as much as I do.  It was a lot of fun to paint the sky and water.  It looked so magical and the building and structures added that Tuscan old-world feel.  Showcase this oil painting in a rustic dark wood frame, and your house instantly look stylish, rustic, and romantic.
