New jewelry set from my painting, Soul of a Rose:

Here are more views of the piece:

A woman takes a moment to take in the fragrance of a pink rose. Inspired by the Waterhouse painting, "My Sweet Rose," which was commonly called "Soul of a Rose" from Tennyson's Maude poem. This romantic floral landscape is offered as a necklace, handmade by the artist from my original painting. Due to the variety of vintage and modern beads, I nicknamed this one "Grandma's Attic" as I was stringing the necklace.
An 18 1/2" beaded necklace of vintage pearls, glass and metal beads, with a toggle clasp, completes this unique piece of wearable art. A bonus set of dangly kidney-wire with heart charms earrings is included.

Here is my latest painting, "The Scent of Red Roses":

Out for a moonlit stroll in a garden, Frida stops to smell the red roses that are climbing along the wrought iron fence. A crow or raven has fluttered down too. Both are illumined by the full moon. Frida is wearing a simple white peasant dress, with a chunky Mexican bead necklace and earrings. A branch from a pepper tree sways overhead. This visionary landscape is an original acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped stretched canvas (the 3/4" staple-free sides are finished off in dark blue acrylic) and can be hung with just a nail--no need to frame. It has been lightly varnished to protect the paint and preserve the lustrous colors. The copyright watermark does not appear on the actual painting. Size: 11" x 14"
