Four things: birdwatching and record keeping colli

Four things: birdwatching and record keeping collide, learning new things about my eldest son, unappreciated miracles, and letting go...

If you've followed my Stories and blog posts, you

If you've followed my Stories and blog posts, you know I've been doing a bit of Spring Cleaning/organizing, and that's involved purging! I've thinned out my ironstone collection quite a bit and am clearing out cabinets, stashes in my basement, and letting go. It's feeling good, but it is a lot of work. On the blog today, I am sharing ways to move things out (donate or sell) depending on how much money you hope to make and how much work you want to do... https://missmustardseed.com/ways-to-move-sell-donate-stuff/ #organizing #ironstone #antiques #interiors #antiquepine #luckettsspringmarket #missmustardseed #inspiration #encouragement #springcleaning

My latest oil painting... This is Ivy. As with most of my animal paintings, it looked horribly wrong about midway through. It's a challenge to make a black dog in bright light look like a black dog. Some of the highlights on her black fur were just as white as the blaze down her chest. It was a great exercise to continue to train my ability to see values, warms, and cools, and the subtle colors in neutrals. It's become one of my favorite things to mix colorful blacks, grays, and whites, and see how they read together. Always learning, practicing, and growing... #oilpainting #originaloilpainting #petportrait #dogportrait #marianparsonsfineart #OPA #oilpaintersofamerica #art #fineart

Here's a throwback to the living and dining room i

Here's a throwback to the living and dining room in our former PA house, almost exactly ten years ago. My, how time flies. I loved these two rooms in our 1940s brick Cape Cod. They were filled with light, had raw oak floors, were painted in a soft, creamy white with bright white trim, and furnished in a style I called French Blue Farmhouse White. Very 2015, but I still love it today. #interiors #throwback #frenchbluefarmhousewhite #decrating #inspiration #missmustardseed #antiques #blueandwhite #farmhousestyle #frenchstyle

On the blog today, I am sharing the colors I have regularly on my oil palette, why they are there, and how I use them. I also share the colors I add in when needed like when I'm painting a pedestal filled with oranges. https://missmustardseed.com/the-colors-currently-on-my-palette/ #oilpainting #painterspalette #OPA #oilpaintersofamerica #marianparsonsfineart #missmustardseed #colorpalette #palette #michaelhardingpaints

Yesterday on the blog, I gave a look inside my pan

Yesterday on the blog, I gave a look inside my pantry (the green cabinets behind the table.) After living in this house for over two years, I'm feeling the need to declutter, purge, and organize, but that's harder with some areas than others. The pantry is a pretty easy place to start since I don't feel nostalgic about expired soups or things we'll never use. I got some momentum to dive into more difficult areas... https://missmustardseed.com/start-where-its-easy-organizing/ #organizing #springcleaning #pantryorganizing #missmustardseed #inspiration

I had to take a little break from painting commiss

I had to take a little break from painting commissioned pet portraits while I was at the beach, but now I'm back to working through my queue. Meet Toby and Goose. I'm told Toby was the sweetest, best boy, and is dearly missed. I loved painting how the light fell over his face. Goose is a Leggatto, which I learned is the dog breed used to sniff out truffles. Her curly hair was a challenge I initially shied away from, but I'm working on leaning into painting poses and traits that used to intimidate me. Tongues, teeth, feet, and curls used to all be off limits, which is rather limiting if I'm going to paint dog portraits. Now I really enjoy painting a big tongue hanging out, adding a pop of pink in the middle of a portrait, and, after painting Goose, I'm ready for the ever-popular doodle breeds! #originaloilpaintings #oilpaintings #art #fineart #missmustardseed #marianparsonsfineart #OPA #oilpaintersofamerica #petportraits #dogportraits
