Eve’s thoughts on “Violet and Grey”:
In Laguna Beach we lived in a 1930’s bungalow on a corner lot 2 blocks from the ocean. We had rehabbed it and preserved many of the original details.
I was on the design review board in Laguna Beach for 6 years. I was referred to as “the cottage hugger” for my views on preserving historical character.
It was a very petite house but had great original windows.
Because our beach bungalow is on a south facing corner, we got a lot of great morning light all throughout the house.
We never installed AC and just opened the windows to get a great sea breeze.
I photograph scenes around the house, like this one, where the morning light came in the window.
This one came about while reading the morning paper over coffee.
This was my moment of calm to start the day. Home delivery of the Los Angeles Times and a pot of good coffee.
I was interested in the muted tones of whites, grays, blues and violet and how they blended and offset one another.
I enjoyed painting this work as it captured my morning ritual.

Eve has been painting steadily for the last 25 years. Largely self-taught, she has focused on still life for the majority of her subject matter, painting objects or moments from her everyday life and travels. More recently she has expanded her subject matter to include NYC scenes as well as scenes from classic Film Noir and Western movies.
“Painting is a creative outlet for me when I’m not acting. It gives me a feeling of control over my creative life. An actor often has to wait for projects to come along, but I can paint any time of the day. I sometimes describe my art as ‘spontaneous still life’. Whenever I see a likely subject, everything stops and I take photographs. This holds the moment in time until I can paint it.”
