Hit by the Flu

Don't let this happen to you. It was no fun! I've been down for a week. ugh...

Hearts Desire - New Mini Painting

I just finished this piece today. I must say, I find it hard not to paint hearts and angels lately. It is all I can think about when I put pencil to paper or brush to canvas so, I figure I am just going to go with it until something else pushes to the surface for me to create. ;o)
Also included is an in-progress pencil drawing. Happy flowers (that look a bit like a fanciful form of Echinacea).

Meet my fantastic Artist friend Cindy

My friend Cindy has such a great eye for design and color. I really love her style and just had to share her art with the rest of you.  Be sure to check out her flickr site for more wonderful eye candy.

Cindy and I met when we were stationed together at NAS Oceana here in VA and we just recently reconnected.  It is amazing how paths can separate and then come together again.  We have so much in common after all these years and I am happy we found each other again.

Thanks FaceBook!

New Work - Angel Painting

Here is a new painting I made for my very dear friend Cara. It is called "Home Is Where the Heart Is".  It is the perfect subject matter for Cara because she is an Angel and takes great pride in having a heartwarming home. The multi-color background was to match a focal mirror that she has.
Acrylic on Canvas 18 x 24

Happy Thought #6

My warm, comfy bed waiting to cradle me from a long hard day at work. Blankets like a cocoon, melting into the mattress and pillow.  Feeling my entire body sigh as the last muscle relaxes and I let go... Zzzzzzzzz


I wish this were my bed



Creativity Days 6 & 7

I have been attempting to post daily on FaceBook since that is where this challenge originated but the last two days have been so busy there was no time to post. I still got my one hour of creative time in though so I met the challenge half way.  Below is what transpired after my necklace frenzy. Here is Mouse Boy in progress and Bunny Boy complete. His eggs got a paint job in the last photo.

Eclectic Artisan Jewelry

My bright and creepy side is showing itself again...

I revamped some pendants that were strung on ribbon because I just wasn't happy with the look.

Creativity Challenge Day 2

Here is a photo of me figuring out what beads will look right with the White Rabbit. Believe it or not this is more than an hours worth of time because I did a bit of detail painting on the clock and I crackled the blue bow. And so it goes. :o) I think I should make a very small flamingo to throw in the mix (maybe?).

WIP - White Rabbit

From my demented Alice mind. lol
My friend Lisa and I have begun a Creativity Challenge that you can read about on my Facebook if you desire.  Today was the first day and this is where my one hour of creativity took me.
