Thowback Thursday

"White Light"
12" x 12"
(watercolor on paper)
SOLD

I recently sold this painting at Pompanoosuc Mills in Natick and would like to thank my new collectors.  It's always a thrill knowing that someone connected with one of my paintings; I'm very grateful being able to do what I do.

Oh and if you're wondering why my title to this post is "Throwback Thursday" it's because this is an older painting.  It goes to prove that even older work should continue to be marketed.  So keep the faith if you have some older work that hasn't yet sold.

Thanks for coming by and sharing in my journey.

It's LIVE!

We've had some very gray days all week so I needed a little color in my life.  I began this painting earlier in the week.  It's moving along well, so I hope to have it finished along with my blueberries in the next week.

Coloring Book Update:  I checked with tracking and my proof should be here this afternoon!  It's at the local P.O. as I type.  I'm so excited!

In other news . . . I'm sharing these photos of a painting I recently sold.  My collector has a very talented brother-in-law who dabbles in wood-working and he crafted this perfect little frame for "Fill-It-Up . . . Hi-Test." I think it's delightful, don't you?

Have a great day and Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there!

Frame close-up . . . what lovely detail!

How cute is this?  I think it's the most perfect color.

Uploaded & Ready To Proof

COLORING PEACE - my first coloring book - 8.5" x 8.5" paperback

As you all know by now, I've been spending almost every waking moment for the past month, designing a coloring book based on my paintings.  I've included a variety of subjects: architecture, still life, animals, to name a few.  Each image is a square line drawing, surrounded by corresponding original patterns for extra coloring fun!  

Over the weekend I formatted my pages, designed my cover and uploaded my book.  I was notified last night that my hard copy proof is on its way.  So barring any horrible errors, I am hoping to have my book ready for sale within the next week.  I'm very excited and can barely contain myself.  Ha! 

I'm happy to get back to painting though . . . I think this is the longest I've gone without painting since I began this full-time artful journey 8 years ago.  I have some paintings I began before this bookmaking madness commenced, that I intend on finishing this month and am looking forward to planning some new paintings.  

I'll be sure to let you know when my book is available for purchase.  It will be placed on amazon.com so you should have an easy time ordering it.  

Have a lovely day!  Now, I'm going to try to focus and get painting!
