PICKING TUNES

Picking Tunes     6x6     oil     by Dee Lessard     $200

Another piece for my music theme! I used to play guitar...I love the sound of acoustic instruments.
And my favorite player, Bob, can really "pick" well! We actually made a CD together once. I bet most of you don't know that! It was a great collaboration of original music. I had to dust off my guitar for this one but I did listen to great music while it was being painted!  I guess this was "paint a joyful noise"!

Music....touches the soul!

 Orchestra's Singer 18x24 oil by Dee Lessard

I love the sound of the violin! I have a friend who let me borrow this antique violin for this painting.
(Thanks Jane!) This painting is in a current show called, "The Color of Music" at East Colony Fine Art Gallery. Music is one of those universal languages and touches each one of us at different levels. I personally love it when a song can transcend you to a different time and place in your life. I'm sure you have experienced the same thing!

May show, "The Color of Music"


 Passing the Time        20x30     oil         by Dee Lessard

The show in Portsmouth is done. However, I am now doing a local show at East Colony Fine Art Gallery in Manchester, NH for the month of May. I am being featured along with co-artist Michelle Beliveau. Our theme and name for this show is, "The Color of Music".
Above is one of the paintings I have in the show. In the next few weeks I will post other paintings that are in the show as well. Hopefully, you'll get to visit and see them in real life!

Wishing you all a wonderful SPRING!!!
I am starting my training for my first sprint triathlon of the season (June 10th)
and it's great to get outside for bike rides and runs!

Old Yeller

 Old Yeller      5x7 oil by Dee Lessard

It's been a crazy mild winter until today! With 10" of snow dumped on us ....just to remind us that in fact it is still winter! Skiers are thrilled. I prefer warmer climates. But I am NOT complaining! Now everyone is happy. Non-skiers had their time and now the skiers can have theirs....as long as the snow melts QUICKLY!!! HAHA!

Here is another dog painting. Dogs are such great company....and always wanting to please.
If you would like to get a good deal on this you can place a bid by CLICKING HERE.

Are You Coming or Going?

 Which Way?     5x7 oil   by Dee Lessard

Life can get so crazy busy. I have been feeling like I am going in a so many directions lately.
I am working on some painting projects that are new and exciting (I'll be sharing later) and then
everyday life takes over and sometimes it's hard to split up your time. My friends always say, "where do you get your energy?". Lately I only wish there were more hours in a day because unfortunately age is slowing me down!!! LOL. Before I know it, it's Friday and time to post!!!
Here is a painting I did at a workshop. Hope you enjoy it!

This is for Auction. To get more info and place a bid, CLICK HERE

We are having a theme show at East Colony Fine Art gallery on Saturday called "Cabin Fever".
The event is to celebrate valentines with all kinds of chocolate goodies!

It's a great way of getting an original piece of art an a GREAT deal. (Current bid is at $50)

BLUE CHINA PITCHER & LEMON (New Auction item!)

Blue China Pitcher & Lemon   6x6  oil by Dee Lessard
Bid on this piece HERE

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
And it does feel like a year since I posted last! But I am still here and painting too!
I did my first public demo at our local art group in December. I actually had a lot of fun and the group was so nice...(they didn't throw tomatoes, so I guess that's good!)
Here is a small painting similar to the one I did for the group demo.

I am starting the year with something NEW!!!
I am planning to do a weekly painting to auction on a wonderful art auction site.
My husband says I can "try it" for 6 months (there's a small monthly fee to join)
and if I sell something I can continue with the auction site!
So here it goes!... and I can't believe I'm starting this on Friday the 13th!
Maybe this will be "Lucky Friday the 13th!" haha!! (I have more faith than superstition!)
