The title says it all. This is a favorite reading and napping chair at home beside the fireplace, with the snuggly blanket draped over the top to take off the winter chill. I don’t paint many interior scenes, and I must say I enjoyed this tremendously. The most interesting challenge, from my artist’s perspective, was capturing the combination of cool light entering from a large picture window on the right, with warm light from the incandescent floor lamp.

I’m loving painting these flowers in the living room. Today I set up a gorgeous Moorecroft vase of flowers on top of the mantle, in front of one of my Hudson River paintings with Storm King Mountain. I needed a high vantage point to paint it, so I brought my Soltek easel into the living room and set my painting box on top of it!

I’m having a hard time getting a decent photo with the mat, but this one will at least give you an idea of what the mat looks like!

My husband went out to do errands this morning and came home with a gorgeous bouquet for me! I took out a bunch of my favorite vases and filled them with flowers. These two vases are in the living room, under one of my large paintings of a scene from Boscobel Restoration of the Hudson River overview. I stood by the stairway and leaned my painting box on the handrail to paint this! I like the way the composition of this living room scene leads the eye around in a circle. The strong red of the little vase balances the heavier objects on the left side of the painting. I haven’t done any paintings of interiors for awhile. I guess I’d better do a bunch before plein air season gets underway!
