Showing Face

I wanted to announce an addition to my "About" page on my Reenie Rose site. I've added a picture of myself and have a good friend, Peter Wang of Mozar Photography, to thank. Peter is a very talented, New York based photographer that was generous enough to take a few snapshots of me while he was in town photographing Alana's wedding (bouquet painting still to come). Peter will be participating in an exhibit starting at the end of August in New York that will be featuring one of his photographs. For info on the exhibit, you can visit http://www.stacarts.org/exhibits/show/31
To view more of his beautiful work, visit Peter's website- www.mozarphotography.com
Thanks again Peter!

It's Finished!!!!

This weekend I stuck to my guns and finished Cathi's gifted painting for Ashley and her hubby. On to the next project now......

Coming Along

Here's an update on the Larson painting progress. Should be done this weekend!

Larson Bouquet Update

Just wanted to update my progress on the Larson bouquet before the weekend. It's coming along quite nicely. One thing I have gotten back into while painting is listening to books on tape/cd. I find that I stay seated much easier. Right now I'm re-listening to the DaVinci Code. Maybe I should start reviewing books as well.....

Alana + Rachel + Ashley + MARY = 4 Paintings!

This Friday I added another bouquet painting to my roster. Mary, a friend from work, made the big walk down the aisle to Eric, and my wonderful boss decided to gift Mary a painting. Thank you to Berkley at Heffernan Morgan for allowing me to come into their studio prior to the wedding to take photos of the bouquet. It is going to make a beautiful painting!


I'm still plugging along on Cathi's gift....

500 Milestone!!!!!

My blog has just passed the 500 visit mile-marker and I wanted to say a BIG thank you to all of you that visit my site. Your support is what keeps me afloat. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Keep visiting!

What to paint first?!

So, I was originally going to be working on Brian and Rachel's bouquet painting, but I thought it would be in my best interest if I worked on a painting that is due at the beginning of August. Sorry Brian and Rachel, but you and the other gifts will have to be put on the back burner.
I will be switching gears to work on a painting that one of my biggest fans, Cathi, will be giving as a gift. Thank you Cathi, and thank you again to Buss Flower Shop in Libertyville, IL for creating such a beautiful bouquet to paint.
Above is the progression....expect more images to come!
