On my easel

This is what I've been working on lately.  A large piece 36x48 canvas.  I must admit I'm getting some inspiration from Downton Abbey.  You may recognize the black Chinoiserie type high boy bureau on the right and the wall color.    I still have a long way to go with this piece but so far I am quite pleased with the progress.  It's my  Roman version of a Downton Abbey! Thanks for stopping by.

Debra Plays The Piano-New Original Painting



Classical piano was the soundtrack of my childhood.  My sister’s and I  all took a turn with lesson but only one of my sisters really had the interest and gift. She practiced and played for years and years and went on to pursue music in college.  

I love to include pianos in my paintings. This piece is painted with acrylics on birch wood cradled panel. The sides are painted and it's wired and ready to hang. Thanks for looking. www.catherine47.etsy.com

Commission piece

One of my clients commissioned me to create  this piece for her dear friend.  I just completed it today. 
She shared many interesting things about her friend's fascinating life that I enjoyed interpreting.

Art Lover-Original Painting by Catherine Nolin

I'm really excited about this painting. 
My favorite photographer has got to be Rodney Smith.  You may recognize this woman from an ad he did for designer Barbara Barry.  As you can see Leo is getting bigger. 
This painting is 14x11 done with acrylics on stretched canvas.  For sale in my etsy shop
