Private Collector's New Pieces 2012

From EM,

Inspiring private collectors to artists all over the world.

It is hard to put into words when someone takes your feelings of serenity and peace and paints it on canvas! I was looking for a piece of artwork that would bring in the outdoors that I see through my back windows and yet did not want it to be overwhelming. Anabela listened and as we talked I told her about my love of Burke Lake and the scene I see every day going to work. The view of mist coming up from the lake, the beautiful colors of the sky and the beauty of the trees losing their leaves has always given me such a sense of peace and I wanted that scene in my home. Anabela took time out of her mornings to come out and take pictures around 6:00 AM to capture the colors and create such a stunning painting. I was quite shocked at its beauty and the intensity of colors. It truly is a masterpiece. She also added geese flying in which represent my immediate family. I love it! I sit in my family room and just stare at the intricacy of the painting. The strokes are beautifully done. It will be a piece that will be handed down from generation to generation. Did I mention that she created three pieces of the painting in which you can stand in different areas of the room and the painting still connects?? Wow! What a blessing to have such a gift as this, Anabela!

From Me:

My newest and first commission in Oil for 2012. Three pieces 16" X 32" each panel, capturing Burke Lake Park, Burke Virginia 2012. Glad to share with you this first piece of the year. Now delivered. Had a great time hanging it up for them on their wall. It is a joy when someone is so happy to have something like this and treasure their favorite spots in their lives with me.

Collectors that helped me be successful!

Thirteen years later. ....



My husband and I first met Anabela shortly after moving to Virginia. We purchased a large watercolor that we loved and wanted in our home so we could feel like we were still outside enjoying our day even after the sun set.

Thirteen years later , we needed a fix on the matting and she was so gracious to do it for the grand sum of a cup of strong coffee. Anabela has always kept in touch with her emails and I have enjoyed buying additional pieces of her artwork for friends and the younger family members , hoping they would come to understand how wonderful it is to have something unique and beautiful in their lives.

If you are blessed to have Anabela come into your life , she will always be a part of it. Currently she is even helping us sell our house and I can't wait to have new friends come and see her work in a new home.
