Art by Mary Rochelle Burnham

This was my first time posting a video to blogger and unfortunately the quality seems to be diminished and I had some other issues pop up. Also, it uses Flash, which won't work on some devices, such as a tablet. So, please go on my Facebook page by clicking the link below: https://www.facebook.com/mary.rochelle/videos/10209826994130540/ and while you're at it, here is a little interview of me at the Hart of AZ Gallery: https://www.facebook.com/burnham52/videos/1230500303710008/

What's New, Pussycat?  oil, 8 x 6", $199 Well, I'll tell you some of what's new...I took down my old website and put up a new e-commerce site at the same address: originalartbymary.com . It will only have my paintings. Prints, greeting cards, digital downloads and some small paintings will be at my Etsy Etsy store. However, Rome wasn't built in a day, so I will be working to put my artwork up, as I have been so busy with my galleries (and convalescing from an injury) that I had let my Etsy store go fallow. Other than that, life has been good and I earnestly intend to keep my nose to the grindstone. I'll keep you posted! Mary

Spanish Rose, 16x12", oil, available I took fourth place for my entry of "Spanish Rose" last Friday's opening at the University Club. I was very surprised as the competition was stiff. So many great pieces! So, if you have the chance, come out and see the show. It runs through April 22nd. Location: The University Club of Phoenix 39 Monte Vista Road Phoenix, Arizona 85004 Exhibition hours: Monday – Friday 9-11 AM and 2-4 PM

Black Magic Woman, 16x12", oil, available on Etsy "Black Magic Woman", is from a live painting session with our lovely model, Mia. She sat the entire session (morning and afternoon) with her beautiful 'bewitching' smile. I am so happy with the light and color on this piece, it practically glows in the dark! If you are in Phoenix this Friday, come to the opening of the Portrait Artists Of Arizona show at the University Club. I have three pieces in the show. Location: The University Club of Phoenix 39 Monte Vista Road Phoenix, Arizona 85004 Opening Reception: Friday, March 11, 2016 5:30 – 7:30 PM Awards Presentation: 6:30 PM Exhibition hours: Monday – Friday 9-11 AM and 2-4 PM Click here to go to my Etsy shop.

Red Teapot with Mug & Apple, 8x10" oil, Available This is the third time that I have painted this scenario. Each time I think it improves.

Alluring, 6x12" oil,  Available This little sweetie, Marcel, belongs to my good friend. Like her mom, she is very curious, smart and adorable! The painting is for sale at my  Etsy  shop and comes framed and ships for free within the continental USA. I haven't posted lately because I have been painting up a storm and also back in July of last year I became one of the exhibiting artists at the Village Gallery in the Village of Oak Creek, AZ. I have made a line of affordable prints and greeting cards that I sell there, along with my original paintings, which I will be getting up on my Etsy site, as well. I have also been doing a little teaching, exhibiting in shows and doing commission pieces. I have been busier than ever...now, if I could just be pampered like this kitty, I'd have it made!
