handstands at the shore
If you’ve ever viewed my complete profile, and read the “about me” section of this blog, then you already know that I come from a family of artists…my father, uncle, brother, grandmother and several cousins. Up until now, I’ve only hinted at some of their work, but that all changes today… Introducing, the art work of my cousin, Martha Ives. I’m so proud of my cousin Martha’s wide and varied talents, and her new website that features many of her lovely pieces. Oh, and speaking of her site, it was designed by my talented brother, Steven! Quite the gene pool, (quite intimidating too).

This is just a small sample of the type of art Martha creates. For the full spectrum of Martha’s talents, please visit The Art Of Martha Ives.
So much talent in one family. I just adore her work – longing for those lazy, summer days on the beach!!
What a talent! Love that it runs throughout your family.
I'm looking forward to checking out her work… and I'm so happy you shared it with us!
I love the first one.
Canyon at Dusk is lovely!

Soothing water colours. Such a talented family you have too! Love that 1st pic a lot! XX
Watercolors are always so relaxing and beautiful when done right. These are really lovely.
Wow I fell hard for the the first painting you featured, it looks so alive and really makes me wish for summer! Great gene pool indeed!

Sue,
I agree with the Buzz…the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. It's in your gene pool to be so stylish and to have such a great eye! I'm off to check out your cousin's work. My husband and I decided (when we could finally afford originial pieces) to only buy originals that we both like and that have a great story. I also love meeting the artist. Hmmm…I'll have to check out your cousin's offerings!
Those are watercolors I'm so jealous that she can paint in watercolors and they're beautiful. What a talented family you have!
I just love art. Can't get this at TJMAXX! haha Art is just awesome!
Wow, very talented! How fun it must be to spend time around so many creative people. I come from a long line of accountants — you know what they say about them 🙂

these are wonderful. You have quite a talented family
Wow! The first piece is gorgeous! Such a talented family!
What gorgeous pieces! I love the first one; it's so carefree.

These are so pretty! I could definitely see hanging one on my wall…what talent!
Love it, clear eyed views….
Love "handstands on the shore" – I have a photo of my girls in Nantucket that it reminds me of. Have often thought of having a painting done from a favorite photo, but how to find the artist? Hmmm …

What a very talented lady and I agree that it must be amazing to be part of a creative family. Mine is a family of professors and executives so in comparison it looks as though I play all day:)

These are so beautiful! Lucky you to have been surrounded by so much talent….obviously, it was not lost on you either, my talented friend! 🙂
I'll go and check out more of cousin Martha now!
