The Holidays Are Here!

Its been forever since I posted anything here.... My computer was slow as molasses... but its fixed now, so I'm back! I made the "Handmade Pledge" this year- and I may be slightly crazy- So I've been planning gifts and searching for other artists to make the ones that I can't. (The Handmade Pledge is simply a pledge to support artists and make less environmental impact by making or purchasing all handmade gifts for Christmas) I've also been taking lots of commissions that people would like to give for Christmas. Busy Busy Busy!!!!

We have our tree up and decorated, but we still have to decorate the front of the house. FUN! Well, I need to get off the computer and get to painting... lots to do!

Ok, Spring is officially on vacation again. Yucky cold. Here is a bird painting that I just finished. Its called "Swamp Sparrow."

Wow! Can't believe its already March!!! I have been working hard on my paintings because I'm getting ready for two art fairs coming up. Its that time of year!!! No pictures to post today... several of these new works are larger than my scanner. One of my jobs today is to see if a company can scan them for me... It feels like spring around here. Its so exciting!

I put this image on a T-shirt on my zazzle site. www.zazzle.com/miss_art_teacher

As soon as I have some extra $ I'm gonna purchase one myself!

Here's my latest piece.

Here is my latest pet portrait. It is my friend's dog, Bailey. I've put prints of one of my pet portraits on Ebay... so we'll see how that goes. This picture was a little bit of a struggle for me b/c I painted from 2 different pictures with 2 completely different angles, but I think I fought through it. Honestly, I could probably take it back into the studio right now and do touch ups, but I am trying to leave it alone. She's a cutie! Next I plan to paint my friend Amanda's fat rabbit, Anabell. She's v cute but kinda scary. Luckily I am not painting her from life. ha ha ha She's been known to bite. Haven't made progress on my calendar lately, February is stumping me even though its one of my fave months.
