Christine Hooker: Still Life Paitinings

February 23, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 8 Comments

The joy’s of blogging and there are many, first and foremost are the friendships you make and second is all of the wonderful information that you receive from other bloggers. Yesterday, Tina fromThe Enchanted Home sent me a link to a  painter calledChristine Hooker after reading my post onToby McFarlan Pond. I immediately followed the link and I came upon a treasure trove of beautiful art.

Christine also paints landscapes, but as I was featuring still life painters this week, I have only included those here.

.

As I said, a treasure trove of beautiful images, do you have a favorite? I love the teacup! It makes me think of two friends sitting across from one another for a few hours enjoying a long chat and a delicious cup of tea.

Do you have any favorite still life artists, or are you an artist yourself? I would love to see or hear of them!

Thank youTina for your friendship and for the link to this very talented artist! Enjoy your day!

    I have always loved still life paintings in the style you've shown us. I don't have a favorite artist but I know what I like…and I like these.

    Gorgeous…
    Love the teacup too, but I really do like all of them. I WISH I could paint like this 🙂 It does not keep me from trying, though.

“Learn to love and appreciate the good in others “Learn to love and appreciate the good in others.” Good afternoon friends, it’s the last day of February, which is called heart month, not only for Valentine’s Day but for heart health as well. Just because we are turning the calendar page doesn’t mean we should forget that A). We should love and appreciate each other and B). To take care of our hearts! Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women? Ladies if you don’t take care of yourself no one else can, eat right and get moving, cardio vascular exercise is great for your heart! Have a great day! #heart #hearthealth #vintagestyle #love #heartshaped #scrabbletiles #handmade #handcarved

It’s gray and has been raining but I don’t care because my lap is full of pups, a vase of tulips and I’ve got a book and a pot of hot chocolate on the table next to me.

“Chocolate is health food for the soul”~Mirand “Chocolate is health food for the soul”~Miranda Gray. I could not agree more, it soothes the mind, body and soul in tough days and it helps to make the good days even brighter. On the blog today I am sharing Homemade Hot Cocoa mix, this easy recipe is from the fabulous Stella Parks of @bravetart , her blog was great, her cookbook is even better and you can now find her at @seriouseats . This hot cocoa is perfect for the remaining days of winter and we have a few, so come over and check out the recipe, then go and spend awhile looking at all of the beautiful creations of @bravetart #hotcocoa #hotchocolate #hotcocoamix #chocolate #winter #winterbeverage #winterdrink #chocolateislife #ilovechocolate #hotbeverage #food #foodporn #foodphotography #foodie #foodphotography #foodstyling

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
