Cozy Chatter was a fun watercolor painting for me to work on.  It suited me because the technique was dryer than most watercolor paintings.  Please note the picture hanging on the wall is a picture of a dining room!  The style of my painting is after the famous painter Vermeer who was known for painting a painting of the painting in the painting!  Now that's fun!

Took a picture of this old car found on a long twisting, turning country road in Maine last summer when we went up there for a short summer vacation.  It was in a field beside an old barn house.  The plate says '46 so I'm wondering if that could be the year of the car.

Contemporary Art Works by Theresa - Morning Girl at The Bedside

Morning Girl at The Bedside

(After Edvard Munch)

Medium:  Watercolor and Graphite Pencil

All paintings done after one of the Great Masters is done only for my own personal growth.  

Edvard Munch is best known as being a Norwegian born, Expressionist painter.  Edvard's mother died while Edvard was quite young, and he was raised by his father.  Edvard's father suffered of mental illness and this played a role int he way he and his siblings were raised.  Their father raised them impounding fears of hell, and other deep seated issues, which is part of the reason why (most) of the work of Edvard Munch took a deeper tone.

Edvard Munch's most famous painting is "The Scream."  Most of his work does showcase emotion more often than not.  Which is why, when I found this painting it was hard for me to believe he was the artist.
