TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE

Hey Friends,  Yesterday i almost finished these two pup portraits.  In between working on the commission.  I think I may finished, I'm waiting for a reply from the couple.

These are portraits of MeeMee in her Hawaiian crowns.  I hope the recipients enjoy.

And this is a bad photo of the Madd Roosters but I was trying to get something before it got too dark.

Working on other small gifts now.

Just a reminder that the show at the Jefferson Center will be up through mid. Jan.

And we will be at Goose Creek Gallery in Bedford this Sat. the 12th.  We hope to be outside painting.

Stop in and see all of their gifts made by local artists.

Thanks for stopping in.

HOLIDAY OPEN HOUSE AT POTENTIALLY CHIC AND NEXT STEP WITH THE COMMISSION

Hey Friends,  Last night I went with some of the DLP gals to the Holiday Open House at Potentially Chic on Brambleton Ave. here in Roanoke, Va.  It was a very enjoyable event and evening.  I finally found the perfect birthday gift for my sister.!  Really happy about that.  And the jewelry maker, the Velvet Peony, had the perfect gift for a dear friend in Florida !

And the photo above shows one of my paintings in one of their beautiful shop vinyettes. (spell check couldn't even correct this word-so I don't feel too dumb)

AND they sold this painting of mine !!  How cool is that?

They also sold some of the mini rooster blocks.

Thank you Ladies very much.

And lastly I wanted to show you this detail shot I emailed to the couple that commissioned the painting I began showing you yesterday.

I asked what she thought of this and a few more shots.  She replied "the hen looked as if she is wearing a beret and glasses."  I was real puzzled until I got back to the photos I sent her.

The interpretations other people see always amaze me.  I CAN SEE IT now.  But until she said that I never would have seen it.  So now I have some more work to do.  But I'm really happy she told me and I can correct I hope.

More fun to show you tomorrow.

Hope all of you are having a great December so far.

What are Eggs Symbolic of ?

 

Hey Friends,  Did you already know that eggs are symbolic of fertility and/or family or offspring or siblings?  This painting has 2 eggs.  Could represent you and your sibling or your Mom & Dad and more.  Click Here for the Ebay auction.

 

Yesterday I delivered this Dragonfly to the Little Gallery at Smith Mountain Lake, here in the Bedford/Moneta area of Virginia.  Beautiful gallery in a beautiful setting, well worth the drive.

Mini Bird Paintings at DPW

 Hey Friends,  I just put these 3 little specimens in my DPW gallery for sale.

The short 3 day auctions start at $29.00.

I made the auctions short so they can be shipped in time for holiday gifts.











They come with a little hand crafted silver jewelry wire easel to display.  And yes, I made them because I can't find any ready made easels except clunky wooden ones.

I will take a photo of one on the easel and show it to you tomorrow.   But they are very nice looking, I'm told.

If you want these can be wrapped in a small box and sent directly to someone on your list.

No extra charge !

A SINGLE ROSE

Hey Friends, I'm back with more stuff I found while cleaning the studio. Boy! It's amazing how I can pack boxes. I've been told the way I can pack a refrigerator is amazing too. Anyway, this is a sweet, little gardener with a sweet poem that would make a great gift for Mothers Day or a gardeners birthday. And in case you didn't know, a similar Painted Photo Collage could be created just for you, using the photos you treasure. If you scroll down, way down, I have a tutorial about these collages if you prefer to give it a try! You can find this painting in my Etsy shop by clicking HERE.

Happy Trails.
