Paint Party Friday.....Saying good-bye to the Spring Daffs....

Hi Everyone....and Happy Friday.....

I love love love all the amazing things Springs brings with her.....especially the early bloomers like my daffodils....they were so bright and cheery and really made me happy.....they are slowly going away .....and I wanted to paint them to capture them before they are totally gone...so I created this super sweet set of paintings as a Memory of Spring 2012.....

I can't wait to do more gardening outside ...especially planting my vegetable garden....we always love to enjoy working outside and love to pick and enjoy the fruits of our labor.....

So today I am sharing my new paintings with all of my super talented friends over at Paint Party Friday....

Hope you all have a super amazing weekend....

Happy Friday and Happy Creating Everyone!!!

Mixed Media Monday - "the games that people play"

Hi Everyone....I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!

This week over at MMM the theme is "The games that people play and the last three paintings in my "A painting a day" project 2010 were perfect for the theme so I decided to post them all for Monday.....When I saw the sneak peek at the theme I immediately thought about love and our health...so these paintings all came to be ....love games can make our hearts break...but they can be mended by love too.....The anatomical heart painting represents the games we sometimes play with our health....eating bad foods and having bad habits.....and finally the last one is a little more on the fun side....it is titled ..."mind games"....I have heard many people say they are sick of the mind games in relationships....

Well I hope you enjoy these pieces and I also added a little montage of the project so far!!! and tomorrow I will have some new illustrations!!!

Have a wonderful day!!!

I'm back!!! and I have so much to share with you all.....and can't wait to catch up with you....

Hi Everyone....I have missed you all so much and can't wait to catch up with you....I have been away on a secluded vacation....I have worked on my vacation because art never really feels like work to me....it is a way to feed the soul....I have so much news to tell you all...I have just finished all the work for my book that will be coming out soon!!! I am so excited as it is a manuscript that is dear to my heart....I can't wait to share more with you all....

I also have another book coming out soon with author Carla Burke...I am very excited about this project too!!!!

I have also created some original miniature paintings of women (like the lady above) and am addicted to creating miniature pieces now....they are so portable and so much fun to create....while I was away I was not connected to the world in any way and it was a nice break....I am back now and can't wait to check out all your blogs to see what you have been up to!!!!

I will post more work as the days pass and thank you all for popping in and leaving your comments on my scheduled posts!!! I love that you can schedule posts here.....I didn't want to leave my blog with no activity!!!
