A Simple Gift by Angela Sullivan

A couple of apples and a gift of bath salts in a pretty box. This box sits on my shelf

day after day overlooked while I pic other things to paint. But not today. Today it caught my attention and I reached for it and sat it behind two apples. It still amazes me that each dab of color was intentional. Each dark blue and light area yep.....meant to be. Each shimmer of white and the yellow on the apples all placed there on purpose. I love painting...really.

I Give My All by Angela Sullivan

I Give My All

This is another painting I did to try and perfect the gift or at least get a little better at it. I am still trying to develop one for my bigger painting which I will keep. Again this is not it. For sale or auction at my DPW gallery just follow the link to pay via Pay Pal.

Waiting For My Friend by Angela Sullivan

Waiting For My Friend

This is number three in fact of my effort to paint a study of the one for my own larger

painting. I just can't decide what I want. I guess I will know when I see it. I have seen several paintings of gifts by artist and for some reason I love them. Carol Marine, Carolyn McDonald, and have painted some outstanding works. I am humbled by there's yet I trudge on.

Hope you like mine. This is a 10"x8" oil on canvas panel.

What's Inside

Don't you just love getting gifts. The anticipation of what's inside is sometimes better than the

gift within. I love the feeling of the smooth crispness of the paper and then seeing the beautiful bow. That alone makes me thankful for whatever is inside.

Giving Love Away

I am still in my quest of doing the perfect study which will become a larger painting. And

daily I trudge along paintingmy little heart out. Today once again I paint this Teddy Bear which my

mom gave me for Christmas a couple of years ago. I only have a few of them and treasure each one.

As I think about this little bear I think about my mom. She will be 89 this year. I still call her each day and I can't help but think about all those times she showed me love in so many ways. Like all of the times she did without so I could have what I wanted not what I needed. It is a wonderful thing when you give love away and years later it brings a smile when someone thinks of it.
