Flower Cart


Here is today's submission. I enjoyed doing this one. This is a take off of a Dorothy Dent version. It was fun converting it to my way of painting.

Fae Gifts


I like this little painting. I did it as a time filler over the weeks and had no idea how it was going to end. It is painted on a 11 x 14 canvas and was a lot of fun to do. It mixed media which is new for me. It is just my goofy thoughts and very elementary looking, but I had fun with it.

Tomorrow I am painting a flower cart. Whoo Whoo

Lighting the Way



I like this one. Been a while since I could get some painting done. I call this one "Lighting the Way." I wish my step-dad was still alive. He would love this one. He was a lighthouse freak. I was thinking about him the entire time I was painting this one.

Lost in Time


Decided to paint today and here is the result. Reminds me of an old barn left to whither with time. Still have tons to learn, but I like what I see anyway. time will make me better as long as I don't quit practicing and learning.

Hibiscus Painting


Well, it has been a couple weeks since I picked up a paint brush so the heebie jeebies were beginning to hit me. It was time....so I decided to try my hand at a hibiscus. I have to say for the first time in a long time, I am satisfied with this work. I like the colors and there is even some dimension to it. These are my bathroom colors so I think this one will be finding a home there when it is dried and framed. The painting was done on a 16 x 20 canvas.

Amos Brother Ivon


Poor Ivon. He just didn't feel like venturing out of his shell today. He just came out real quick and retreated back to his safe haven. (smile)
Ivon was a lot of fun to make, but he didn't feel "handy" so he just stuck his head out to say hi. Love these guys

Meet Amos


I couldn't sleep last night. Got up at 2am and started creating this precious little Hermit Shell Fae. I am taking a class from Dawn Schiller and this was the lesson. I am so excited. At 4am I finally went to bed and finished "Amos" this morning. What fun this was. I can't wait to create some family members for him. I have loved these faes for years and I sincerely thank Dawn for sharing how to create them.
