New Oil Painting Esther's Sunset by Judith Reidy

View of sunset through the trees on Thanksgiving Day painted in oils


Esther's Sunset

Oil
25.5 x 21.5
framed 
$450


I have fond memories with this painting; my family was together after my mother's passing the previous week.  It sounds like one would or should be very sad.  But it was a glorious and joyous time for I knew my mother was in a better place and left us with a beauty and love that glowed in our hearts.  So like her life to us this painting glows on this cold early winter like November day at the conclusion of  the family's Thanksgiving Day gathering.

New Pastel Work by Judith Reidy



It has been exciting to be working in pastel again.  Such delicacy and fresh unfading color.  
 One of the qualities I appreciate about pastel is that the color never fades or yellows with age.  These images came from trips into the country this fall.

Working to Reduce the Unseemly Posts I'VE BEEN HACKED

Hello All,

I have been extremely frustrated with the strange posts that somehow make their way onto my blog and unto Facebook.  I  have my blog set so that posts are suppose to be monitored by me but that does not seem to prevent a hacker from posting unseemly self promotional messages.

I am changing how I post and through whom I post.  Perhaps then the problem will be scotched.

As many of you know I have had carpal tunnel release surgery  April 17, 2014 with a healing setback when the wound reopened after the stitches were removed.

As a result many of my plans for painting had to be adjusted.  I reduced my painting and teaching schedule and went on a retreat  as well as spent more time on glass fusing and reading and journaling.
 
On the whole it has been good for me to reassess and learn how to accept a new direction for my life work.

Again, I hope thank you for your patience as I work to reduce all the ichy posts.
