I am so thankful for my friends and clients who share their "Cree paintings' in their own spaces. Happiness is an awesomely personal choice. I am glad I can assist!
Sometimes with the help of a friend, or even a daughter-in-law, people from around the country find out about my work. This photo was shared over the holidays. Our friend Priscilla continues to be happy with her Cree painting in Indiana!
Happy Days!!!
Happy Days!!!
This piece was a favorite! (You can tell color has not been a priority for me.)
Aways fun to share pleasant news

"Dreams Last Forever", oil on canvas, 40 x 30" is hanging peacefully in a beautiful home in Winter Park. And, seeing the painting in place pleases me to no end! Thank you!!! I am very grateful for clients sharing their purchases with me.
This painting was one within an orchid series included in my "Color, Texture, Love" show in La Jolla, CA several years ago. What fun it is to remember that show and the people who so kindly attended the opening night celebration and enthusiastically shared their appreciation for my art! |

Working with Alzheimer's |
Alzheimer's donation 2012

Meeting my 2012 "pairing partner" and his painting at the Alzheimer's luncheon reception for all the "artists" was the best experience I can remember from all the years being involved with this special fund raising project. My partner's fine painting struck me in so many directions. I had to share the structure as well as the life of his painting through the roots and living organisms on the tree itself. I loved the simplicity of his painting and I tried to emulate his intention as I painted on two panels of canvas, leaving the space between for the emphasis of simplicity.

This painting is hanging in an early cottage -- said to be over 100 years old. And, the gardens that surround this special place are simple, lovely and well nurtured.
It appears that my painting is bringing the sunshine into the cottage in more ways than one.

The couple who proudly displays my painting loves their contemporary home and the soft palette of her paintings. This isn't the only piece they have, but they exclaimed "Your painting adds a touch of our travels to remind us that we are the luckiest couple we know!"

transforming a condo in Upper State New York...

The art of painting is a fascinating process for me. My discoveries go far beyond the canvas. I appreciate the friends I have made, especially the expanded network of artists
and art appreciators. There also is the happenstance situations that simply fall into one's lap. I accepted the challenge of being responsible for "staging" a condo for re-sale. My re-arrangement of furniture, the placement of new art and existing art created a warm and inviting place to live! The unit sold along with these three paintings by me.. Fun!!! |

a true story This painting disappeared. It was hanging in a San Diego coffee shop...and it simply is not there any more. I really was sad to find the painting gone!...I worked on this piece for years, saying I just couldn't make it "right." But, I persisted ... and as you can see, this is a pretty interesting mixed media creation. In your travels, if you happen to notice this painting on someone's wall, would you ask the person if he/she wouldn't mind emailing: creescudder@gmail.com I am hopeful someone will share with me the story behind this painting having found a new home. I truly appreciate having my very own private detectives! Thank you! |
The Sunshine's Pirouette, acrylic on canvas, 20 x 24"
a short story
A lovely La Jolla resident recently passed away. Barbara was
the very good friend of Cree's dear friend. The three ladies
often had lunch together and enjoyed one another's company.
A few weeks after Barbara's memorial service, someone found Cree's website on a google search and contacted her to share she loved Cree's work. (How nice!) The emailer was most interested in a floral painting Cree had done that was at auction. (painting to the left)
The painting had belonged to Barbara!
After a few weeks passed by, Cree learned that the emailer was unable to win the bid for her painting, but she certainly was kind to fill Cree in on the details.
So...if you see "The Sunshine's Pirouette" hanging anywhere along your travels, please let Cree know.
