"Ballet Series - Seated Ballerina #1"

This painting is a pastel on board

of a  beautiful ballerina.

I was trying to capture her

reflection in the mirror, which is

always fun!

Many times we see our

reflection in the mirror and

when we do, say nice things

to ourselves.  BE GRATEFUL

for the wonder we have in

our lives,

the love,

the fun,

the friends,

the freedom.

The world is always reflecting

back to us what we are

sending out.

Today,

send our gratitude,

laughter,

confidence,

a belief in yourself.

Love yourself.

Love life.

Be happy.

Have the most wonderful

day you have ever had!

Blessings,

September McGee

Monday Beginnings and Blessings from American Impressionist September McGee

Giorno di bucata - Wash Day

This is an oil on panel from my

travels to Italy. 

I stayed in the house directly to the left

of this wonderful woman carrying her laundry.

The Italian people are so loving, warm,

friendly and kind.

I am lucky to carry my laundry

to the laundry room!

This is one of the reasons I love to

paint, because each rendering evokes fond

memories of the people and places

I have been.  And, paintings

last a lifetime and are then passed on

to bless someone else's life!

The joy of painting and leaving

behind uplifting visuals

for all to see is truly a blessing!

On this beautiful day I offer all of

you blessings beyond belief

and more!

"Couch Series - A Special Night"

This is an oil on an Italian Pannelli panel

and is a brand new piece as part of

my Couch Series!

I just finished the final touches of this

piece and wanted to showcase it

in todays creative musings.

The model for this painting

for my Solo Exhibition.

She is a gorgeous woman

inside and out and

an honor to know

and love!

"I too attended September McGee’s Gala Reception and have to say that there were so many gorgeous themes in September's array of paintings - many of my friends commented on the Street Car and also the orchestra paintings. I had too many favorites to choose just one as I'm a big fan of all of her amazing work. What a lovely night to be surrounded by such beauty and the fact that September’s energy is so warm and inviting."

Monday Musings in April with American Impressionist September McGee

"Couch Series - Kailee and Muffin"

This piece is an emotional painting I

just completed of my daughter

Kailee McGee and our beloved cat, Muffin.

The rendering is a pastel on board

and the technique I used takes a

great deal of time to create, but I have

to admit I am happy with the results!

It has lively colors and petites touches

that give the painting an impressionist

flavor while still maintaining form

and a sense of realism.

With my solo exhibition now complete

and a huge success I am on to

many new and exciting projects.

Stay tuned for updates!

Monday Blessings!
