A few new paintings to share right before we end 2011.....what a wonderful year!

Hi Everyone.....

Again...I can't believe it is Friday already.....and that Christmas was last week....and that a whole new Year is upon us.....I wish time would slow down just a little bit so we don't miss anything.....

Today I finished up my last two watercolour paintings for 2011....wow....what a year for paintings and books and illustrations and fun.....I have learned so much this past year.....and I also hope that I have grown as an artist over the last 365 days.....seems like I was just telling you all about my 2011 business plans and now I have to start planning my 2012 business plans....wow is all I can say.....

These two latest paintings were so much fun to work on....tonight I am bringing this Baby painting to it's new home......I hope they love the way it turned out.....I think this little boy is as cute as can be! and the Pug is another special painting that I will be sharing in my Etsy Shop for Pug Lovers everywhere.

Finally....I am sharing these two paintings with all of my wonderful friends over at Paint Party Friday....it has been a wonderful time with all of you and I hope 2012 brings us more great times.....

Happy Friday and Happy Creating!!!!

Paint Party Friday....The Ballerina Mommy.....La maman de ballerine

I have no idea where the time goes...Friday already...wow...the week has flown by right before my very eyes. I always look forward to Fridays for several reasons....besides the obvious start to the weekend which I always love as I get to spend more time with my family and friends.....but also because I take a moment on Fridays to think about all of the things I have accomplished during the past week and think about what I would have done differently or changed if I could....and I take that all in and make plans for my up-coming week....it is all about learning for me....and I always take a moment every day to be thankful for all of the amazing things in my life....and by "things" I don't necessarily mean inanimate objects or material things....I mean things like being a Mommy....my amazing family.....taking care of my family....my health....being a full time illustrator and author....teaching art to children....these are the things that truly fill the soul with happiness....these are the things I am most grateful for.....

so in light of one of my most favorite "things" ...being a Mommy...Today, I share with you a piece I created for a special dancing Mom and her little wee baby....a piece that I hope will be cherished forever....This piece is titled ...."The Ballerina Mommy" or in my virtual Paris Studio.... 
La Maman de Ballerine....

I am sharing this over at Paint Party Friday....I wish you all the best today and during the weekend....We have an extra long weekend here in Canada....as we celebrate Thanksgiving with our Family and friends....so more reasons to be thankful and grateful....

As I bid you adieu I just want to ask what are you Grateful for today?

Hugs
Diana

CA- Fly with me

Hi Everyone....what a great theme on Crazy Amigos...."Fly with me"....I think the best thing a Mother can do is to teach her babies that anything is possible ....to lead by example....to fly....to dream....to soar......if they see you taking flight they may be more eager to try out their wings too....

hugs
