I have a couple of new paintings to share

enjoy life and no ordinary day, they are both in my Etsy shop!

Looking forward to seeing the Hunger Games...can't wait it should be awesome!

This is the new painting I added to my Etsy shop.

It's called Enchanted. It is painted on a 11x14 ready to hang canvas

Thanks for looking!

Breaking Dawn

I know I am probably a little late to gush on and on about this movie...but I am anyway.  I am sure that most of you have seen Breaking Dawn by now.  I saw it when it was first released and then about a month ago, and just again last week.  Every time I see the movie it gets even better, if that is even possible? It is my favorite one by far!!!! The soundtrack is amazing too! I thought I would post some images of the wedding, which by the way was better than I imagined. What about Bella's dress...I thought it was perfect!  Oh, and an interesting side note....the song "A thousand years" by Christina Perri was written by her especially for "Edward and Bella". She was so blown away by the books and movies, she wrote a love song for them and had it forwarded to Stephine Meyer, who then put it on the soundtrack. Pretty cool, right? 

Alice

  I have been such a bad blogger!!!!.....not that anyone really reads this blog, but if by chance someone does I'm sorry for the long absence!

I just finished an Alice in Wonderland painting.  I have been wanting to paint one for a while. I think I kinda lost my mojo. Sometimes I seem to get stuck and need a break.  I am refreshed and I have a few ideas for some paintings that I will be doing soon.

Bye for now!

Come fly with me

I just finished a painting called "come fly with me".

This painting was inspired by my love for the circus, carnivals and state fairs.

Hope you like it!



A new painting

It's been a long time since I have blogged. I guess I took the summer off with my kids. We had a lot going on.

Anyway, now they are back in school, I have some time to get back to painting.

I just finished this painting, and will have it listed in my etsy shop soon.

I am having issues with both my cameras, so this is not the best quality photo (sorry)!

as always thanks for stopping by!

Mermaid

Hello....I want to share a painting that I just finished.

I love mermaids, the sea, the sand, seashells, the smell of the ocean. We had a such a beautiful weekend, I wanted to be at the beach so bad, so instead I painted a mermaid.

Pink Saturday

Happy 3rd bithday Pink Saturday!

Today I thought I would share Pink macaroons. I wish we had a bakery in my town that made these yummy cookies.....for now I think I will have to enjoy looking at them or try to figure out how to make them.

The first image is from Magalerie (etsy)

The second image is from ChelseaVictoria (etsy)

Thank you for stopping by and please visit Beverly from http://www.howsweetthesound.typepad.com/ for more pink Saturday fun! P.S. I am having Blogger issues, not sure why but I can't leave comments on some blogs, so please understand if I can't get back to you right away.

Art for my wall

Hi there

I know it has been along time since I've blogged.... I have been working on a room in my house...it still has a ways to go but I thought I would share half of the room right now. This room is where we have our family computer, we also are going to use it as another T.V. room. I found a couch and two chairs on craig's list for $100.00 they are from Ikea and were in perfect condition. I changed out the slip covers to white. My sister-law gave me the hutch which was maple and we had it painted white. I am not sure about the lamp? I found it @ Target, but the green is not the shade I am going for. I think I need a yellow or white base? I really wanted some cool art, I could not find anything I really liked, so I decided to make my own pictures, since I am not an artist by trade I thought they came out pretty good. Here is one half of the room...I will post more when it's done

Bye for now!

Dreaming in color

I have a new painting to share.....it's called dreaming in color.

the canvas size is 11x14 I have it in my etsy shop

Thanks for stopping by!

Going crazy for Blythe Dolls!!!!

My Grandmother was a doll collector and had two + rooms in her house just for her dolls...as a kid I would sit in the rooms for hours. I inherited some of her dolls and have my own collection, mostly Madame Alexander dolls. I am wishing for a Blythe doll!!! My husband thinks I am crazy. They are the cutest, loveliest dolls ever! Seriously, I want them all...the only problem, they are crazy expensive!!! Here are a few pictures...

Best Friends Always

I wanted to share with a painting I just finished....

It's on Etsy, I will be selling prints hopefully within the next week!

Bye for now!

Thanks Vanessa!

One of my favorite blogs is called Design Sponge, they recently featured the home of Fiona Douglas, of Bluebellgray. Here are a few pictures inside her Glasglow home. I love the pops of color and how she mixes the different tones of blue!

Hope you enjoy them!

The new issue of Lonny Magazine

Hello and Happy 2011....Okay so I am a little late please forgive me!

I just got an email of the new issue of Lonny magazine. If you have not seen it yet check it out! They always have lots and lots of cool pictures. www.lonnymag.com

A few months ago I came across a design blog, I love, love, love this style! Just look at these pictures. If only I could blink and this was my house! The blog is called "The cross design.com"

Love these!

I was looking through etsy as usual and came across these gorgeous pillows! They are from Karen Hilton (karenhiltondesigns). I just love the colors!

Check out her etsy shop! karenhiltondesigns

Up Up and Away

I am taking Wyanne's online art class called paint free. I am really enjoying it...she is a wonderful artist and great inspiration! The new painting I just finished was inspired by her class.

Here is Up Up and Away

Lazy Days and Sundays

I have new painting to share.... Lazy days and Sundays always make me smile.

I thought I would try and do a smaller one although the size 12x16, the girl is smaller in size. I hope she looks a little younger. The girls I usually paint look a little older maybe in their tweens. I paint them that way so the girls (hopefully) will want to keep them in their rooms longer. Anyway she is listed on Etsy.

Thanks for stopping by!

At long last! I can finally upload pictures to my computer (yea) !! I am really excited, two of my favorite artists are doing new on-line classes. Suzi Blu is doing a mermaid class which sounds like so much fun and she is teaching a lot of new techniques . Wyanne is doing a new class too! I have to decide which one to do first. They are both really great artists and have some great classes..

I have a new painting called "friends". It is listed on Etsy. The saying says "friends come in all different shapes & sizes".
