This is one of the paintings I have been working on recently. It's our pantry window with the shade pulled down to keep the summer heat out. Our home is older and small, not alot of closet space, however I do have a pantry and it is wonderful. There is extra counter space in there and all the cabinets for dry and canned goods plus storage for pots and pans. When you have a small house it does not take much to make it look messy. Clutter around our home is our worst enemy.There is a flower box outside the window, in the Spring I have Pansies, however it is also a favorite sitting spot for every cat we have ever had. They get a good view of the bird feeders from up there and they also can get your attention if they want to come in. So it has become a battle to keep flowers in for any length of time.The red dots are the beginnings of a hanging Geranium plant, and at this point all I have done is located the space in the painting it will occupy.

This is looking really good Holly. I love the way your paintings build up to the finished item. Mine get worked on altogether all over, and usually on the same day. We used to have a house with a walk in pantry when I was a child before fridges became popular. We used to keep our milk, cheese and butter cool there.
Wow, Holly. How amazing to transform an ordinairy window into a painting. I love the shadow in the window. I can already tell that this is a special window. I'm glad to see a new post. Thanks for dropping by my site. I feel priveleged to have your feed back when you are such an amazing artist. Kay
