I've Been Painting

I'm getting really good at taking blog breaks.  Which doesn't mean I haven't been busy.  I have. Painting.



















Lots of layering.
















I shared this frame several posts back.  It has a mirror, and it was gold.




I left hints of gold.
















Enhancing details.

    Rosemary,

    I honestly don't know which I like best:

    Your mad painting skills?

    The actual thing you are painting?

    Or your incredible photography?

    You got it all, lady and I am a HUGE FAN of your work.

    If less blogging means more doing, have at it - worth the wait every time.

    Wow, I wish you could visit me and transform my world into the loveliness you create.

    Have a wonderful and blessed week!

    Breaks are refreshing I think. I adore your empty frame. One of my favorite vintage finds is my large oval gilded plaster frame in the living room. I left it chippy and did not touch it. I recently found a newer very large frame I have plans for. Wishing you a beautiful week, Olive

    Those beautiful hands of yours... wish I could do what you do!! I just adore the long frame with the urn on top and the long draping down the sides and with your technique, this is one of my favorites yet!

    It's nice to take a break regularly. I have collected old frames forever and you have some beauties here. I especially am fond of the one with the urn and swags. Lovely new finishes as well.

    Rosemary,
    Love the finish that you put on everything. I tried a version of your Old World method on a few items, I'll be posting photos of them tomorrow. They don't look as wonderful as yours by any means but your such an inspiration that I wanted to give it a try.

    Really beautiful Rosemary. I love the colors and the layering. There's just so much depth to these pieces! I'd love it if you would share this at "What We Accomplished Wednesday," at Green Willow Pond. It is live right now. Have a great week!

    Hugs,

    You need to rename your blog "The Treasures of Rosemary' I can't believe what you do with old beat up stuff, it always looks amazing! I love the blue green color too!

    I think less gold and more paint leaves a much richer look, rich in history too. Love the look you created!
