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!
Toni

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!

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.

More about these later, he is thinking about selling them too. I will keep you posted.

July 2 WHITE CORN CRIB AT NIGHT LANDSCAPE

SOLD I see so many old corn cribs standing alone around the midwest landscape. I am sure at one time they were all
accompanied by a farm house and other outbuildings marking homesteads which were full of activity and families.

In Iowa alone we lose over 100 barns a year and that doesn't count the corn cribs, hog buildings, chicken coops and farm houses from these vintage farmsteads! It is sad to see them go, once they are gone, they are gone forever.

SOLD Today's painting is for a gorgeous original acrylic on canvas 12x12. It is funny how I started out with something completely different in mind for this painting.

June 25 OCEAN BEACH COTTAGE CHIC PAINTING

SOLD Today's painting is called "Soul Searching". Some thing I have done many times in my life (haven't we all?)......usually my soul searching has been done driving down the highway in my car or in the midst of chaois, not on a glorious beach with the ocean in the background.

I am sure wherever you have done your soul searching the location didn't really matter...it's the action you took or didn't take that made the difference in your life.
