If you haven't heard, Design Supply is in the process of rebranding itself under the name Galerie Odette. I'll be changing the links on all of my pages to match.

They're still the same lovely people, and they still have this painting in stock. Reach out if you'd like me to connect you.

This painting hangs in the room that is pictured in this painting.⁠

I should start asking where exactly the finished piece will hang, so I can include the painting itself in the picture. How cool would that be?⁠

If you have a room that you'd like me to paint, and you have a place in that room to hang it, I'd love to work with you. I think it would be fun to plan this.⁠

Summerville, SC No. 302, Watercolor and Acrylic on Panel, 12in x 16in, 2025.⁠

There is a lot of invention in my paintings, especially when it comes to color.⁠

I don't have the reference photo in front of me (I discard them pretty early on in the process), but I'm confident that the fireplace in this house isn't light pink, nor is the ceiling orange.

My family got a dog around the time I left for college. My youngest sister, who had wanted one for years, was beside herself with joy. My dad, who moaned and groaned about "that damn dog," had such a soft spot for her. But Cinnamon only had eyes for my brother.⁠

One day, I was sitting in the dining room with my mom, and she says, "Watch this," and yells my brother's name up the stairs.⁠

"Hey, Samuel!"⁠
(Cinnamon's ears perk up).⁠

Somewhere upstairs, a chair creaks and a door opens.⁠
(Cinnamon is on high alert).⁠

There are footsteps coming down the hallway.⁠
(Cinnamon's tail is wagging).⁠

There are footsteps coming down the stairs.⁠
(Cinnamon is practically vibrating with anticipation)⁠

My brother pops his head into the dining room, and barely gets a chance to ask what's up before Cinnamon is jumping up and demanding attention because her favorite person has just come downstairs. It's a funny and sweet memory I have from the era of life when my parents house was still home base for all of us.

Sometimes, when I think about what's happening in a painting, I don't reflect on the formal qualities of the painting (the color, the shapes, the scale of the objects), but I think about what might be happening in the scene. Staircases are really interesting in paintings because it makes me think of the things that I can't see. What's happening upstairs? What's down the hall?

Yesterday, I was at an art fair where the general consensus was that this room had Key West vibes, which was funny bc I'm pretty sure the house was in New England ❤️

When my client ordered this one, we talked about inside and outside. This house was important, but so was it's location in the Pacific Northwest.⁠

When you look at the painting, there is a sense that the sun is going down outside, with all the dim, grey blues in the trees and the sky. Meanwhile, the inside is warm and yellow with the glow of lightbulbs. The contrast of painting natural light alongside artificial light forces the viewer to consider those places separately.⁠

I wonder if it is snowing outside this dining room.⁠

I don't think anyone has requested a particular kind of weather in a painting..... but if that is important to you, they I'd love to talk about it with you.⁠ Let's get started: https://www.erikastearly.com/commissions
