August 23 Hi Everyone

HI All! I guess I am taking some time off of listing and posting. Nothing that I set out to do, just got busy...I am hoping to start posting paintings after Labor Day. I am in the midst of getting one daughter ready for college and another's sweet (??) 16 party.

Good news is that I am doing a lot of painting! I am working on large, medium AND small pieces. I want to build a large inventory of new stuff for both Ebay and Etsy so I can get back to posting/listing with a vengence!.

Etsy is a great site (www.etsy.com) which features arts and crafts straight from the artists. There is a variety of mediums from jewelry to woodworking to painting and everything else you can imagine hand made. It is definitely a site I recommend checking out.

I will post later, everyone take care!

August 7 SPIRITUAL NIGHTTIME OCEAN BEACH WITH PERSON

SOLD Hi Everyone, just a note for you out there that I need to ship things to or correspond with. I didn't get much done today, I got hit with a flu bug and was down and out and in in bed. Hopefully this is a 24 hour thing and I can get my work done tomorrow. Thanks for your understanding.

Today's painting is for a gorgeous night time scene. I put a very tiny person on the beach, looking at the moon. This is 10x10 by 2" in depth and I am starting it at only $95 with free shipping.

August 6 Serence Calm Ocean Beach Sailboat Painting

SOLD Hi Everyone
Well I took a couple of days off from listing. I had to do some school shopping. Let me tell you, shopping with 2 teenage and one tween girl is NOT my favorite thing to do. But we had some fun and great bonding time. I can't believe how fast this summer is going!

Today's painting is for an original acrylic on masonite. This is something different. My talented brother (who is a custom furniture/cabinet maker) is making me some cradled (with sides) panels for my masonite and wood panels. They are absolutely amazing to paint on. I should be able to paint larger and not require my customers to have to frame anything.
More about these later, he is thinking about selling them too. I will keep you posted.

This painting measures 10x10 and is 2 inches in depth. It can sit on a shelf, table or hang on the wall.

August 3 Moody Nighttime Farm Landscape

SOLD I can't believe it is August already!

Today's painting is for an original acrylic on piece of antique ceiling tin. I left the tin's original character exposed for a really unique look!
I call this painting "Evening Puddles". I imagine that a storm in the night has passed and the moon has come out, exposing the puddles left behind.
