This is the kitchen table at the farmhouse we stayed at in Maine. The scene was to represent the end of coffee time and the breaking out of the paints and easels. These were special mugs. The one on the left is a Fiesta mug that I coveted, belonging to my first oil painting teacher and (now) friend, Valerie Vitali. She brought it from home because it was important to have a cup you loved for tea/coffee. I SO relate! The other one was purchased ON THE WAY to Maine (my husband wasn't with me and thus couldn't restrain me as I approached the coffee shop and passed the Thrift Shop in South Boston!).
Many of us were painting inside the house that day, Jody Regan and I were happily humming while we painted in the kitchen, and I must admit this painting was punctuated by frequent bursts of 70's songs sung by all of us in a most... er... enthusiastic manner (Think... David Cassidy - "I Think I Love You!). At this point we were beyond feelings of shyness, and fairly rocked the house!

I know Maine has a reputation for taking you back in time, but David Cassidy??? Really? ...and you dare to admit it...
ReplyDeletelol
Sounds like you totally relaxed and let loose here. Wonderful!
We'll set up a bed for you, Roisin! Susan, I'm only going to admit I know the chorus and the tune to the David Cassidy songs - the younger gals actually knew the whole songs!
ReplyDeleteLovely one, Kelley. Really sounds like you had a memorable time in more ways than just painting. The comaraderie sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had too much fun. Anything in that coffee cup other than coffee? Nice painting, Kelley. Love the toaster!
ReplyDeleteooooo! love the interior, excellent! love the variety in the edges esp on the table cloth
ReplyDeleteYour painting evokes such a nice feeling. I feel like I could sit down and have a cup of coffee with everyone. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteLove the ritual of "Time to get painting." Important to make it a fun and anticipatory part of your day. You bring the fun with you wherever you go!!! Lovely painting!!
ReplyDeleteLove the painting and can feel the fun vibe you all had in Maine..I learned the words to that song by the original singers in 1967 !
ReplyDeleteSounds like such fun. Love the mood you set in your painting, love the subject matter. The blues and reds look great together. I had a crush on David Cassidy and would play make believe that he was my boyfriend, thanks for the memory.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun trip, and looks like a wonderful painting!
