I’m pleased to share a new series of small works created during the International Strada Challenge this past September, a month in which I completed one oil painting every day. Each piece was painted from life — scenes gathered from my gardens, the quiet structure of my property, and the shifting light that moves across familiar spaces.

Working daily brought me back into a more intimate, observational rhythm. It also set the stage for a natural transition into my recent studio explorations: constructed still lives made from paper twine, roping, and strips of colored paper. These small arrangements echo the movement and geometry of my line paintings, and they have become a bridge between the realism of these Strada works and the visual language of my larger abstract pieces.

Every painting in this collection is an original oil work, priced at $250. My hope is that each one carries the atmosphere of the place and the quiet attention that shaped them.

Orders placed by December 18th will arrive in time for Christmas. If you would like additional photos or have any questions, kindly let me know. Thank you for your ongoing support — it means more than you know.

Warmly,
Paula
