"It's Raining Outside" by Lynda Cookson

"It's Raining Outside" is an instant download image from an original oil painting on board by Lynda Cookson.

The original painting is for sale as well and can be found HERE : "It's Raining Outside"

Sitting in a hotel conservatory one rainy day in Co Galway (Connemara) Ireland, with the rain spattering loudly on the glass of the conservatory, the only happy subject to be painted was a stunning potted plant of white geraniums. This is it. It captures both the beauty of the flowers and the wet feeling of the rainy day.

"Daisies" by Lynda Cookson

Home and Office Wall Decor (in other words, me and my family team!) are now offering original paintings on our new Etsy Storefront, starting off with Stock Clearance prices. The paintings will be shipped unframed as a further cost saver and shipping is included in the price.

I'm loving trawling through all my images, both photographic and paintings, as I upload them to my various Etsy storefronts ... and, after feeling a little stale for a few months, my fingers are starting to itch again with the anticipation of painting fresh works.

"Daisies" is a medium size, palette knife, oil painting with all the depth and energy you would expect from this medium and technique. Her vibrance speaks for itself :-)

Not shown in the image below, is the monogram signature in the bottom right hand corner of the painting. Here you can see my logo watermark. The original painting has my monogram etched into the paint.

"Flower of Passion" by Lynda Cookson

I love this abstract flower. It's got the Wow! factor ... the Zing! factor .... the works! LOL It cannot help but be the most exciting conversation piece.

"Flower of Passion" was created as a small acrylic pour painting with a few design techniques thrown in ... using a straw and lots of "hope that it'll settle well". It did.

The original painting is available here:   CLICK HERE
or
Available here as an instant digital image download for you to print to whatever size suits your home:

"Umbrella Flower" by Lynda Cookson

Please click the image to see the entire painting.

Second to last day ... and after deciding that I don't want to always do a painting a day ... I'm going to miss it! Silly, I think it suits sometimes ... and not other times when I want to really get stuck into a big project. And that's the pleasure of living a seesaw life LOL

The Wise Owl and Purity

I have recently had the pleasure of swapping ACEOs with Nathifa Simon of The Artful Planner (Facebook page), an artist in the UK ... I chose her "Wise Owl" and she chose my "Purity".

ACEOs are Art Cards Editions and Originals; are strictly 3.5" x 2.5" in size and, although often sold, are way better swapped! Next swap coming up with Marion Hedger

Anyone else up for an ACEO swap?
