How long has it been???

2011-12-08T15:54:00.000-08:00

I'm back

I must be the worst blogger ever! Again my New Years resolution is to be a better blogger, among many other things! I am not sure where to find more hours in the day??!! I know I have missed so many wonderful postings from so many and I have lost out on so much! You are all so talented and when I do get to blogging I love visiting you and seeing the wonderful world you create. So maybe it is just a matter of budgeting my time better....oh how many times I have said that?! So not to bore you and go on and on, the main reason I stopped by today was to wish you a Joyous Holiday Season, know that I am thinking of you all and to show you a bit of what I have been up to!

French Blue

2010-08-07T19:10:00.000-07:00

I hope you are all enjoying a lovely summer! It is never long enough for me. I do have to say that this has been a difficult week! My main comuter completely died!! I woke up to a black screen with a little dash....my heart sank! Thanks to my husband Michael, he has been working on retrieving data all week and restoring! Ask me what that is, and I stand behind, I am technically impaired when it comes to the computer!
If it couldn't get worse, my camera also broke and my washing machine??!! There must be something in the air or someone is telling me to take a vacation! With that said, I am thrilled the difficult part of my week is almost over. Akthough. through it all, I must have been feeling blue or painting blue....French Blue!! Ido love blue and yes I do paint ALOT of pink, but I have to admitt, French Blue is one of my favorites as well.
Here are a fewof my pieces I have painted this week which are all available on my webiste. I hope you enjoy taking a peek.

Painting....Painting....Painting!!

2010-07-28T17:40:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone,
I wanted to give you a peek of what I have been up to these days. Lots of custom orders, so I really do feel like I am painting....painting....painting!! The heat has been almost unbareable here and with a quite dated central air system, I have relocated my studio to the downstairs which now is giving me new ideas for a permanent move! Seems like the summer is flying by! It always goes too fast! I hope you enjoy taking a peek at what I have been up to!

20 signs! Completely hand cut, hand painted and embellished with crystal rhinestones!

Would love to do french sayings. If you have any ideas, please let me know, I would love to hear them!

I decided to do " Happily Ever After" for my webiste too! Wouldn't it be wonderful!

We can all use a does of Happily Ever After!

I will also be adding this week, custom name signs to my website.I loved working on this one. I need more hours in a day! It will be available in two sizes. Again, hand cut and hand painted. I love working on a soft pale blue background. I must give credit to my husband Michael who is the one with his magic saw and meticulious eye that cuts all these pieces! He is amazing and can build anything!

A vintage tray table came to life! Another custom piece I really enjoyed working on!

Roses and Peonies and Birds!

Now for my French Shoes...Marie's Slippers?

Embellished with rhinestones for a touch of sparkle!

As you can see.....I have been painting from sun up till sun down! I still have more and promise to post again soon! Thanks so much for taking the time to visit me. I hope to see you all soon!

Something Pretty

2010-03-27T21:20:00.000-07:00

Hi to all my friends and again sorry that I haven't been in blogland for awhile!Just seems that I am working all the time except when I'm sleeping! I am having fun trying to add romantic verses to my paintings. Since I am not a graphic artist and I can't figure out how incorporate writting if I were to print this piece, I decided to paint it. If you can see on my " Peonies" painting, there is some writting in the background.I am starting to work on photo frames too, something that hopefully touches you. And I am always painting boxes and panels that I love and never seem to find enought of them!

I hope spring is making it's way to everyone! Trees are starting to bloom here! I just love it! I hope you enjoy looking at a few things I have been working on.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wishing everyone a wonderful week!

French Fancy

2010-03-05T06:19:00.000-08:00

I must have lived in another time as I am so inamoured by 18th century French Fashion. I have recently finished these two painings and have decided to do a series. I just can't stop at two! I sit and dream and wonder, what these two ladies lives were like and to be honest, I would love to take a peek in their closet! From ruffles, to silks with details that are so impeciable, this time period truly is an incredible work of art! I have yet to decide on the names for these paintings which is unusualy for me. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them. They will soon be available on my website! Please don's miss my two below, " Claudette" and " Angelique" they are now available as canvas giclee prints at http://www.debicoules.com/

Where does the time go? I wish I knew! No excuses,just seems that the hours in the day fly by and before I have done only half my daily list, the day is over. Not sure why life is so much busier than years past,. but it is.I have been living in my studio it seems and painting away. My new love is 18th century french fashion ! I can't imagine I would have such a place to wear such exquisite garments, but to dream is fun and paint I must. So here are two of my new paintings " Claudette" and " Angelique". I hope you enjoy them and I promise to be back soon!

Just thought you might like to take a peek at a few new creations.
I love signs and am always looking for a new way to approach them. So thinking petite, since sometimes I work really large, I came up with this grouping that I just love and hope you do too!

I think it would make a wonderful gift especially since the monogram can be personalized.

I am working on more, always seems like one thing leads to another!

Hi everyone,

My son is off to college so now I hope to get back to blogland more often!Funny thing, a nest keeps popping into my work! It is a bit lonely with him at school, so I am feeling the sadness of being an empty nestor!I havebeen painting away... I guess work can be wonderful therapy!

Hope you enjoy taking a peek at some of my new pieces.

French Court Romantic Box

2009-04-10T15:01:00.000-07:00

Now available on my webiste. Hi everyone,

I recently found this piece and thought it was so unusual! I was so excited to paint it. Seems like my style is changing a bit these days. Of course I love pink and white, but I think it is important to try new things and explore a new pallet. It actually started with my French Lady Antique Panel a few Posts ago. I call this a Romantic French Box? Sometimes it reminds me of a chair, a throne maybe? I guess it could be used for many things or just placed some where as an Object De Arte.

With that said, I hope you enjoy taking a peek! Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs,

Debi

Love the curves!

I think I would love to do a large piece like this!

Pretty in Pink

2009-03-28T14:50:00.000-07:00

I do love the time of Marie Antoinette, but I also love the 1920's! I guess for some, they were a time to be fancy free and dance away! Love the flapper dresses! I hope you enjoy these paintings done in watercolor as I had so much fun doing them! I did fashion illustration for many years, so this was a true labor of love for me. It was a wonderful art, but as a profession,it became a dying art. So now, I get to create what I want! I had some fun with rhinestones too

, just for the glamour of it!

There are available on my website.

Thanks for stopping by!
Hope you are all having a wonderful Saturday!

Summers End

2008-10-12T07:55:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone,

Time seems to be getting away from me these days. It has been quite awhile since I have posted and I have to say that I truly miss blogging and visiting all of you that have been so kind to visit me. As I have said before, I am a bit hesitant to post as I am always waiting for inspiration to hit me! So this morning, I went out my door into my yard and of course there was inspiration everywhere! I managed to find a few of summer's roses, morning glories and hydrangeas still determined to bloom and not willing to give in to the seasons change. I found that to be an inspiration in itself.

I am feeling the effects of the world and the terrible situation that we find ourselves in, but still I pick up my paintbrushes everyday and try to create something beautiful in spite of it all. So maybe we are all like the flowers in my garden, just wanting to bring beauty to anyone who happens to see us. As with the seasons changing, I hope that the world changes too and for the better. Remember, there will always be another summer.

Thanks for visiting me!

Hugs,

Debi

A Touch of Marie

2008-08-26T17:47:00.001-07:00

Hi everyone!
I just wish there were more hours in a day! I am sure you all do too! I have been working on this painting for a very dear customer for quite sometime and finally finished! I just wish I could speed up the drying process!! I have to say it was such a joy to work on this piece, but let me ask you, is it still summer?? I don't think I have had a moment in the sun this season. Well, I guess I will have to make up for it next summer! I truly adored working on this painting! A slight touch of Marie Antoinette and lots of soft pale colors. This piece goes along with the desk set that I posted a while ago. I am very behind on my blogging and just wish I could catch up with everyhing! Until then, I hope you enjoy!
Hugs,
Debi

Painting Pink Again!

2008-07-26T15:37:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! I am really trying to post more often but I have been working 24/7.! I guess that is a good thing? I have visited so many of your wonderful blogs , still have more to go! I have to say, I feel a bit intimidated.!!You are all so creative, witty and have such wonderful things to post! When I finally sit down to post something, I go blank! Maybe it is my age or I am working too hard! !So instead of waiting for something that hits me ( which has been too long) I'd like to share a few pieces with you that I really enjoyed painting. So, back to painting pink and what fun it is as always! Ouu lal la, had allot of fun with Paris Hats and shoes! A bit of Marie Antoinette, don't you just love her clothes!The desk set was also really enjoyable to create as all pieces had to be different yet work together as a set.

Well, I will keep trying to come up with something that is interesting to post!

Hope you enjoyl Be back soon!

Hugs,

Debi

Thank you!

2008-07-12T18:11:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! First I want to thank Penny from Lavender Hill Studio for introducing me on her blog! It was such a sweet thing for my new friend to do for me, and again I can't thank her enough! After posting my " Finally Published", I woke up the next morning to find so many wonderful comments, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning! So my second thank you goes to everyone who left a comment and visited me. I am so looking forward to reading each and every one of your blogs. I only wish I could do it all in one day, but actually, I am getting glasses tomorrow and will make reading on the computer for a long period of time so much easier! I have been working in cyber space for so long, that at times can get very lonely, so I am thrilled to have so many people to visit! I will be seeing you all soon. Thank you so much for your kind words and praise.

I am looking forwad to getting to know all of you!

Have a great night!

Hugs,

Debi

Finally Published!

2008-07-08T20:20:00.001-07:00

A bit of a change from pink roses, but fun none the less. I am so excited! Six years ago I illustrated " How Mice became Small" by Zev Lewinson and finally it is being published! It is in it's marketing stage right now, soon to follow with the final publication . Zev's magical story made illustrating an exiting adventure for me and a true labor of love.Looking at the red head in the illustration reminded me of what a long process this has all been, but in the end, it is worth it! By the way, the red head is my son Matthew, who yesterday got his drivers license!That is scary!!"How Mice became Small" is a wonderful story for all ages and with a moral too, which is pretty hard to find in children's books today.I have just started illustrating my second book although I can't say what it is, but it is another advneture I am looking forward to. Lets hope this one doesn't take so long!. I hope you enjoy taking a peek at a few pictures from the book!Thanks so much for visiting!

Hugs,

Today was one of those days that I never left the computer.Do you have those days?

Since I had such a great time putting together a slide show the other day, I decided to print some of my rose photographs and are now available on my website. Yes, pink, but I think blue Hydrangeas are next! I hope you like them!

My Inspiration

2008-06-30T17:11:00.000-07:00

For the love of roses I made this slide show beloow to give my husband credit and thank him for being such an inspiration to me. All these beautiful roses that are in my slide show come from his garden . Always a wonderful work in progress! Michael's talent is only surpased by his love for nature. So once again I would like to thank him for filling my mind and my pallet with such beauty and incredible inspiration!

As I am learing my way around computers, I had such a great time putting together my favorite photgraphs that I have taken, the only problem is that the slide show was supposed to be on the bottom of my page! Oh dear! Once I think I know what I am doing, I wind up doing the opposite! In any event, I hope you enjoy it!
Hope to see you all soon!

Hi Everyone!

2008-06-28T11:19:00.000-07:00

I can't believe I have not been on my blog for so long! Life has certainly thrown more than it's share of family challenges my way and have kept me away from sitting down and writting! Now finally over the hump and hopefully on to the brightside of life, I wanted to say hi to everyone! I have been working 24/7 and sometimes wonder if I don't paint in my sleep! I thought I would share some of the pieces I have been working on. I have had some lovely cusotmers that have given me the oportunity to create some fun pieces. Sorry, not pink, but in blue which was a lovely pallet to work in and other colors as well.

I hope you are all well and enjoying the summer! See you all soon!

Have a wonderful day!

Debi

Working and working and working!

Hi Everyone,
I wish I had something wonderful to write about but all I have been doing is working and working! Don't get me wrong, I love to work, but it seems like it has been sun up to sun down. My husband lost his job right befoe the holidays, so I have been burning the midnight oil! Here are few of my new pieces. The Antique window is available on my webiste http://www.debicoules.com/. The other piece was a Blackksmith's tote, for carring his horseshoes and other parafinalia. Made a great magazine holder! I wonder what he would say if he saw it now??! Pink horshoes, now that is an idea! I hope you are all enjoying life! Thanks for visiting, better get back to work!

Something in Black

2008-01-30T07:10:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone!
Blogland is a very place for me considering that I am technically impaired when it comes to the computer, but am trying my best! I thought I would share this with you today. I just love pink, I know we all do, but this piece came to me from a customer that wanted something in black! It was really exciting to work on a different color pallet for the moment! The trunk was in mint condition and seemed to travel back and forth from New Jersey to West Palm Beach Florida. Funny, when you look at the travel stickers you start imagining the person who owned it and why they were going away? Well, West Palm Beach surely had to be for fun in the sun! It broke my heart to take the sitckers off, but that is what the customer wanted. So, here it is.
Something in Black! Thank so much for stopping by!
