Eula's Treasure

I wanted to take a minute to share with you a painting I created this season. This is a large (one of the biggest I've ever done) 18x24 wood panel. It is entitled "Eula's Treasure".

This was created to honor my grandmother. We lost her a few years ago, but her memory is very strong in our family of women. She loved to garden, and the flowers she cultivated were a joy to see every spring. Among her many favorites were irises. If you look close you can see I added a few irises among the bounty of magnolias (I think that is what they are.....I did not get the gardener gene). Across her wings are the words " In the spring when the irises bloom I feel the warmth of her smile upon me" This is a line from a poem my sister wrote about her. I did a few new techniques on this one, including spray paint over some snips of my dried out shrubs and a tissue paper dress. This was gift to my mom for Christmas.

My card club will get to see a mini crop photo shop version of this painting. It will be January's club only card. I will post it here on New Years Day.

Prints will be available after the new year.

Monday UPDATE

Just a quick ETSY update! I listed two new card designs- The first is here. The original will be available in my web store. Click here to view. This is the the altered version I created with bold text. I had this made into 5x7 cards available in my ETSY store now.

Christmas UPDATE!

This morning I received an email from a customer asking for a print to be framed. I just happened to have a framed print left from a recent art market, I generally never list a framed print. Why am I telling you this? because it never hurts to ask! If you are looking for something to give that special person and do not see it in my shop, just ask! I have a variety of items that I take to local markets and never list in my stores. I have a few ornaments, cosmetic bags and a variety of print sizes left. What are you interested in?......just ask!

Pictured is a mini print (5x5) Christmas Angel from last year :)

NEW LARGE PRINTS are listed in my Etsy store! I only have a couple left from the last few art shows. These have white mats and will fill a wall perfectly. I have an 8x10 with an 11x14 mat of my "PEACE Angel". This is one of my most popular angels. She has a worn country feel and a scripture passage that was a favorite of my grandmothers. I have this print in a weathered barn wood frame, my mom has the original :) It makes a wonderfully sentimental gift to loved ones. Click here to see her

Peace on Mother Earth

This week I finished an angel. It is an 11x14 hard canvas, encaustic. It started as a Christmas Angel but finished as more of an earth angel. Her banner reads "Peace on earth...Love to all" Long chestnut hair and brown eyes. This is a weathered blue, with creams and walnut distress. Her dress is grass green and bookprint leaves fall all around her. The paint circles are peace signs.

This piece will go to an art fair first and maybe a local gallery. If you are interested contact me thru ETSY or email....I'm easy to find :) Click here to find my ETSY store
