Art in the Park

I am getting ready for a spring show Art in the Park this Saturday May 22nd from 12noon to 6pm. I am looking forward to seeing the other artist work and enjoy showing my new creations to people in my area. If you live nearby come by and visit me.

New Birdie Card

Can you believe a new year is upon us? I used to have my new years resolutions that rhyme with the new year. I stopped making resolutions a long time ago so I wouldn't set up my self up for failure. Lol! If I did this year...maybe it would be: Be more thin in 2010. Can you guys come up with something that rhymes?

I have got a new card that I will add to my shop by tomorrow. You guys are the first to take a peek. Have a great rest of the day!

Painting Finished

I finally finished my landscape painting. I am happy the way it turned out using the different patterns of color for the background. I am already thinking about what I am going to do for my next painting. I will start some preliminary sketches today.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

"Eden" is complete

I finally completed this painting after putting it aside to figure out what finishing touches I would add to the painting. Hopefully I will be complete editing the demo of this painting video this week so I can upload onto Youtube. A print will be available this week in my shop.

Finished Painting

Happy Friday everyone! Man is it sure getting hot here in Hotlanta.

I wanted to show you my finished painting that I started last week. It was such a tough decision, because you guys gave such great suggestions. I decided to name it "Deeply Rooted", as suggested by Pocket Full of Prettys. Pocket, I will send you a print for helping me decide the title. I was pleased with the finished result and plan to create another with this similiar technique.

1000 Markets

Happy New Year!

I am very excited to have a second shop on a new site called 1000 Markets. The venue is an exciting high quality site of fine art and crafts. The site is not as crowded as the Etsy sight so it is thrilling to be on the early stages of this new one. Come check out my shop and check back for updates regularly. Looking forward to a succesful 2009!

Featured on Cuteable!

I sent an email to a adorable blog called Cuteable. I thought my work would definately fit this definition. They featured me last week on their site.

Contest!!!

I will be giving away one of magnets titled "I Can Fly". All you have to do is post a comment, and I will randomly pick a winner from the list. The contest starts today July 2nd and will end tomorrow July 3rd by 9pm. I will send a note to the winner and post it on my blog!

Why Fly Note cards

It has been so crazy lately with my kids end of the year activities. Finally the summer vacation for us has started, so hopefully I can include more items in my blog now.

I have created some new note cards from my original work. My fanciful birds are a perfect little note to send to a loved one, or friend.

I'm looking forward to this Memorial Day weekend with all the festivals and other fun activities in the area. I wish you all a safe holiday!

Check out my etsy shop, I'm always adding new items.

New Image titled "Eden"

I have been working on this new image for several weeks now. I wanted to have my fanciful birds in a forest setting. I loved working with all the different shades of color and texture. I was happy with the way it turned out. Prints are available in my Etsy shop and soon I will have note cards of this image also. Each image I am creating I try to push my self a little further as I get to know my bird a little better. Hopefully I hope to convey joy and love of God's beautiful creation!

I've Got Notecards

I have been creating my images not just as fine art prints, but in note cards as well. I think these little birds make the perfect eye catcher for sending that special loved one a personal note. I'm selling the cards in packs of three. Check out my Etsy website for more information.

Another Bird with an Attitude

I have been unable to update my blog due to a nasty computer virus. We had a tough time getting rid of the virus that would come back again and again! It was so frustrating.

I have been wanting to update my blog with a new image. I hope you like my new addition to my collection of fanciful birds. This little guy is sure to stir up trouble.

Bird with an attitude

I have got a new fella to my series of birds. He is quite the character. I hope you like him as much as I do.

Here is my mixed media collage

This is my latest original I was experimenting with this week. I have added a little paper to my pieces before. I will adding more in future designs.

I've Got Another Fanciful Bird!

This is the latest of my bird series. Watch out cause this hot tamale has got quite a temper!

I've Got Pendants

I am so excited to debut my new product I have in my Etsy shop. This is wearable art from an original painting I created. There are a couple of pendants in my shop right now and I will be adding more, so check back. The black leather necklace and the silver pendant look great on. I am wearing one right now as I am typing away. They are $15 each .
