New eBay- Dockside

Oil on canvas, 9"x6" SOLD

The wind is howling outside and there is 100%
chance of rain forecasted. A good day to
stay inside and paint. I am still a little perplexed
as to the next step on my painting so I might start
on another one.

I was going to lay off eBay for a while but I have
too much fun with it so I have posted one of my
new little paintings. As usual the starting bid is
1/2 the asking price.

Best to you on this Good Friday for those
of you who honor it.

Primavera- New eBay

'Primavera', Oil on canvas,14"x11", $275
If you are interested in purchasing this painting please
email me at katherine@katherinetreffinger.com

It was so great yesterday to get back into the
Art and Meaning project. I am hoping it inspires
others to get involved. I have quite a few requests
to artists out there.

I had one of "those" days yesterday where nothing
happened in the studio but paint getting used. On
that note I will quote Philip Guston:

"I go to my studio every day, because I may go and
the angel will there. What if I don't go and the angel
came?"

I went, but she did not show up. I know wherever
she went that artist had an incredible day and soon
it will be my turn again.

Seismic- New eBay

'Seismic' Oil on canvas,14x11, $275, Starting bid $137.50
Bid Here

I have spent 2 days on making up my art supply
order and actually ordering the first half. Who would
have ever thought it would take so much time?
Today it is back to the easel for me!

I have not given up on the Art and Meaning Project.
I have approached some artists and some have
approached me, but I am not getting any responses.
I would imagine it has to do with my long break with
the blog.

Circus Life- New eBay

'Circus Life', Oil on canvas, 9"x6", SOLD

I decided to put this small painting on eBay.
Since it is one of my faves I am starting the
bidding a little higher than usual.

It snowed here last night. It looks like
between 3 and 4 inches! This is the first snow
since early December! You never know
what the weather is going to do in Eastern OR!

Claret and Abuqui New eBay

'Claret' Oil on canvas, 9"x6" SOLD
'Abuquiu' ,Oil on canvas, 14"x11" SOLD

I have posted two new ebay auctions this morning
after the last one completed.

I struggled with the image of 'Claret' in photoshop
trying to get the red as true as it is, but I only
succeeded in making the image a bit dark, at least
it isn't as red orange as before I started.

It is Spring like here this week with crocuses in
bloom, the Tulips and daffodils coming up and
buds showing on trees and bushes. What an odd
Winter it has been! But I am not complaining, I
could be in Florida or Texas, where it has been
unusually cold.

New eBay -2 Paintings

'Cathedral' 24"x18" SOLD

'Train Passes Hot Lakes' 9"x6" SOLD

No I have not stopped being an artist. I will return soon.

I am hoping my art reflects this change.
Please stay tuned. I miss you all.

One thing about being global is you can't assume
everyone that is reading your blog celebrates the
same holidays or even solstices as you do. For those
of you that have been celebrating I hope it has been
good. I celebrated both the Winter Solstice and
Christmas, which to me in some ways are about the
same thing, the birth of light. I had a good time. This
year, more than any other time in my life, the
celebration has been about giving the gift of love.
These past 4 months have been profound for me,
as I heal from surgery on my ankle. I have so much
appreciation for those who have helped me through it.

I still have not re-entered the studio, as I am still very
tenuous with my ankle. Needless to say, this whole event
has been a challenge to my pocket book (did I really say
pocket book?) so I have decided to do an end of the year
auction of 5 of my small paintings.

I wish a very happy 2010 to all of you. The start of a new
decade, wow! May it be new! If you haven't seen the movie
Avatar I highly recommend it.
