Paintings from our Bedroom (Part 2)

This next painting is my version of The Falls Of The Clyde - originally painted by British landscape artist William Turner.

While I was studying with my art teacher Gerardo Beuchot, I had the desire to paint something different and to use a spatula as a tool instead of a brush. So he recommended I take a look at one small book he had of painter William Turner and soon I knew I wanted to replicate this painting as part of my learning.

I love the colors in the painting, and that it almost looks like an abstract, but it is actually a landscape. William Turner had a sensibility for capturing how natural sunlight played with landscapes.

So here it is now hanging on my bedroom wall above a bookcase that I have pretty full of my little treasures.

El siguiente cuadro, es mi versión de Las Cataratas de Clyde - originalmente pintado por el paisajista Británico William Turner.

Mientras yo estudiaba con mi maestro de arte Gerardo Beuchot, tuve el deseo de hacer algo diferente en donde usara espátula en lugar de brocha.  Así que me recomendó que viera un librito que tenía del pintor William Turner y pronto supe que quería pintar este cuadro como parte de mi aprendizaje.

Me gustan mucho los colores de este cuadro, y que casi parece un abstracto pero es en realidad un paisaje.  

Y aquí esta ahora colgado arriba de un librero el cual lo tengo bastante lleno de mis pequeños tesoros.

Paintings from our Bedroom (Part1)

I'm excited to start showing you how I decorate with my paintings in our house. Here are some pictures:




This painting above our bed is an abstract that I painted back in 2005 and it has a beautiful frame.
We have a lot of blue in our bedroom so this painting of orange, brown and rusty colors is a nice contrast.  It can easily go in any part of your house.










My daughter's Godfather and his wife were nice enough to helped me upholster our headboard.





I cut this rose from our front yard and it changes colors as the petals spread open more and more every day.  Just beautiful.

Estoy muy emocionada porque hoy comparto con ustedes como decoro con algunos de mis cuadros en mi casa.  Estas son algunas fotos.

El cuadro que esta arriba de nuestra cama, es un abstracto que pinté en el 2005 y tiene un marco hermoso.  Tenemos muchos tonos azules en nuestra recámara así que éste cuadro con colores óxidos y cafés contrasta de muy buena forma.  Puede fácilmente ir en cualquier área de tu casa.

El padrino de nuestra hija y su esposa, fueron quienes amablemente, me ayudaron a forrar  con tela la cabecera de nuestra cama.

Corté esta rosa de nuestro jardín y sus pétalos van cambiando de color de forma que se va abriendo la flor día a día.  Simplemente hermosa.

City Lights




Oil on Canvas
8 x 10 in
2014
$50.00

We took a trip to Mexico City, where we visited some relatives.  And from my brother's apartment I got to see the beautiful view of the city at night with colorful lights reflecting on the buildings.
My brother, who is also an artist, see his blog here www.robertotostado.blogspot.com made this drawing and with my oils and brushes I turned it into night. 


En un viaje que hicimos a la ciudad de México en donde visitamos a algunos familiares y desde la ventana en el departamento de mi hermano pude ver la hermosa vista de la ciudad de noche con sus luces de colores que se reflejan en los edificios.
Mi hermano, quien es también un artista, puedes ver su blog aquí www.robertotostado.blogspot.com hizo este dibujo y yo con mis óleos y pinceles lo cambié a una escena nocturna.

My Mother used to show me pictures, and suggest I paint them. This was the last image she got for me and that is the reason I named this painting "A Last Wish"

Mi Mamá solía recortar imágenes, que ella me sugería que pintará. Esta es una de las imágenes que ella separó para mi y por eso titulé el cuadro "Un último Deseo"

Mami (To My Mom)


Oil on Canvas

Para Mi Mami

Este cuadro representa el amor y recuerdos que mi Mamá me dio. Siento una gran admiración por ella. Hoy se cumplen 9 meses sin ella.

Sueño con ella muy seguido y se que me contesta muchas preguntas y me reconforta. Me pregunto ella cómo nos vera y qué pensará de nosotros desde el cielo.

Gracias a todos por las palabras de aliento y comprensión. Especialmente a ti mi amor, John. Por ese hermoso abrazo que me diste esta mañana. Significa mucho para mi y las palabras no fueron necesarias.

En este cuadro use objetos que eran especial para mi Mamá y para mi.
Crecer con ella fue un placer en mi vida y estoy agradecida por eso.

Gracias y siempre te recordaré.


To My Mom

This painting represents the love, admiration, and memories I have of my mother. Today is 9 months without her.

I have dreams of her very often and I know she answers many questions and comforts me from heaven. I wonder how she sees us and thinks of what we are doing.

Thank you for all the words of comfort and understanding from all the people around me. Especially to you John, my love, and for that nice hug you gave me this morning. It means so much to me that words were not necessary.

In this painting I used objects that are special between me and my Mom. Growing up having her in my life was a pleasure and I feel thankful for that.

Thanks and I will always remember you.

This is my little home studio... the place I spend hours between music and paint.
