I'm pretty excited to have this painting finished.  I will be delivering it in the early evening to such a lovely couple over in Norfolk.  I am going to take a photo of them with it to share.  They bought my Poochy Love painting too and I have to tell you, Marilyn looks just like the girl in the painting.  It was very uncanny and fun!

Awesome Art by my Friends

Check out how cute this little star girl is by my friend Cynthia!
Check out the most awesome Zombie girl by my friend Elizabeth!
It's great because they are completely 180 degrees out from each other and yet each one is so FUN!

Be sure to click on them to enlarge for better viewing.

Remember This??

Well, I forgot to show you that it turned into this - and it sold at the show! :o)  The couple who bought it also bought "A Little Birdie Told Me" and called it their first "real" art purchase.  (And my head swelled three sizes that day! ha ha)

Happy Thought No. 1

You know what makes me happy?  When I discover a few more french fries at the bottom of the bag when I thought I at the last one...

You Guys Rock!

I just wanted to give a big heartfelt THANK YOU! to all of my dear friends and customers who came to see me at the Stockley Gardens Fall Art Festival. YOU made my show the best show ever and I am truly grateful to you!
I am really pooped now so it's off to bed because I have to get up for my "other" life in the morning.  :o)
Multiple Hugs to all of  you and Thanks Again,

What little girl doesn't?  A bit much glare in the lower right corner - oops!  18 x 24

This is what a bundled two year old looks like:

Sydd turned two yesterday!  wow... time flies.


NOW

THEN



I didn't make it... :o(

I tried though.  Gave it my all even but two and a half paintings is all I could get done - three and a half really but one (which I haven't posted) was a 6 x 6 so I'm not sure it counts. As it stands I have three painted backgrounds waiting, and plenty more empty canvases.  It is time now to switch to jewelry.  Wish me luck - I'm so going to need it!

Here's a little Mushroom named Montake' that I just painted within the last couple of weeks for your viewing pleasure and her story to understand her picture better. 8x10

Montake loved the way the light filtered through the trees down to the floor of the forest. It sparkled and dazzled like diamonds as it descended just a few feet away from her dark, damp home in the crook of an old tree. How Montake longed to step into that light. After watching butterflies and birds flit in and out of the light for hours, Montake finally gathered up all her courage and crept out from her hiding place. She moved ever so carefully to where the light was playing, all the while holding her breath. Suddenly and without thinking, she lept forward into the streaming light. She laughed and danced as the light touched her skin and tickled her nose. What a glorious feeling of freedom! It's funny to think that most of us spend out time being afraid of the dark but little Montake was afraid of the light - no longer!

Two down - Two to go

I am pooping out.  I should have had this one finished hours ago but it took me forever to even get started.  Number three is in the works.  It is almost 8pm and I don't know if I can get two more done by midnight.  I guess we shall see.
