More things to look see.....

Here is my funky couch with a tree. Imagine that! " Pulling us toward our destiny". I like using images of furniture. I think it is my way of incorporating people in my work..... they are portraits.




I love this one . I still have my bits of scrap paper that I always need to have however it is bit reserved....... right? " For all those that hold the vision" .


Here is a quick shot of something coming up. I am using all my neutral toned vintage paper as the background. I am going to leave them as is and then add the color with the imagery over them. More pics on this next week.
I am in the school on Mon, Tues and Wed. so if the kids cooperate in the evening I can get some good creative time in. Operative word COOPERATE !!!!!
Talk to you soon,

Another birdie


Here is a new little birdie. I have a few more new pieces that I will take pics of later to show you. They are all headed down to Tallahassee .

I have just joined an art/mail group. We all must create a postcard (4x6) original piece of art for each participant and send it through the mail. All the markings and handling will become a part of the artwork. How great is that. It is due by September so I have a bit of time to think of what I will do. I love receiving mail so this will be a treat.

Talk to you soon,

a little tease......

The above is a little tease of a new piece I am working on. This is about a little over 1/2 the canvas size. I should be finished by Thursday.

The kids are on the last couple of weeks of school. This week is packed to the brim with events.
Field day, volunteer breakfast, family entertainment..... you name it.

This time of year is always bitter sweet. The beginning of summer and the end of another school year. It is really hard to change the routine , however I am really excited for our summer so hopefully the boys will feel it too!

Talk to you soon,

A day at Lucketts......

Today I had a great day with two good friends in Lucketts VA. It is such a small little place with a cluster of the cutest little antique/boutiques ever! Although I ended up buying nothing, I loved looking at all the unusual things.

This is a gigantic scrap metal rooster. Perfect for the yard!!!!



Here is a gal that might have seen better days!!


A dream, a cluster of old shutters.
Although most everything was very over priced, I had a great time enjoying friends company.
Talk to you soon!

A new piece and a movie......

O.k...... here is another new piece that I will put into my etsy shop on Tuesday morning. This is a 5.5 x 8 on wood. I have another bigger piece I will show you tomorrow. I am in a tree kinda mood these days. I do have some more figures swimming around in my brain that will come out soon enough.

If you have not already seen the HBO movie " Grey Gardens" I really recommend it. I finally watched it with my husband last night.

Talk to you soon,
