I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! One that is filled with lots of laughter, fun, & of course yummy things to eat! Seems hard to believe there is only a little more than 4 weeks until Christmas!!
**Also!I just discovered a great Etsy Giveaway going on at the Team CAC (Christian Artists and Crafters)Blog
be sure to check it out!
Such a beautiful blog...thank you Privet & Holly for including my artwork in your post today! There is nothing better than random acts of kindness in my opinion! God bless! ;)

Is there anything better than fresh strawberries?...well maybe cherries. Available on etsy.
It's been awhile since I've done a study so I decided to do one of my favorites, "Windflowers," by John William Waterhouse. I'm hoping to get a better photo in the next couple of days, but I'm really happy with how this piece turned out! Available on etsy.
I wish I would've seen this live @3PM EST when it was on the front page, but still pretty cool! This is the first time I've been on the front page...I was chosen as an alternate a few months ago, but never made the coveted front page until today! Who-hoo! I love etsy!
This piece is available in my store on etsy.A private commission of two paintings of vintage buttons...it's amazing how beautiful some of the old buttons are! Little miniature masterpieces unto themselves. If you are interested in having a custom painting done, feel free to contact me!


I've never really done one of these blog party things, but I thought I might try and add to the mix with one of the many things I am 'hooked on' being Russian Matrioshka dolls! I used to help a friend who sold them to help fund his missionary trips to Russia, and of course being an artist and art lover I was blown away by the amazing talent these artists have!Some of the dolls would start out rather large and go down to literally the size of a grain of rice! They use a magnifying glass to paint on the smallest doll....I also learned that they actually start by carving the smallest doll first. I will have to add to my collection when I get a hutch to put them into :o) To visit the blog party visit Hooked on Houses and join the fun!Our move went well, although we are presently surrounded by boxes...the 'boys' are estatic about their new, humungo backyard that opens up to the woods...I'll have to post some photos soon...but on top of all the chaos of moving I had to go to the dentist and have a tooth pulled, so I am in quite a bit of pain at the moment...hoping to get into the studio later this week! I know I will be itching to get back to painting in the next couple of days...it's kind of like going thru withdrawal...if I don't paint every couple of days I feel as though I am going to burst!So do check back! :o)
I just came across an offer for free advertising on The Paris Apartment blog, a great opportunity for women who have an online business and are in need of exposure (such as myself of course) :o)...to learn more visit this link at French Blue...and be sure to pass on the good news!
