A Productive Week

It's been a pretty productive week in the studio, although maybe not for blogging.  Oops.  My Open Studio (Dec. 3rd and 4th) postcards have been labeled and are ready for the mail as well as other prep work for that weekend.  I've also begun some new paintings while finishing a couple others, however one of those paintings is a secret so you're going to have to sit tight until I can share it with you.

Have a great weekend!  I'm headed out to dinner with some dear old friends!

New Notecards

(clockwise from top left:  "Pristine,"
"Old-Fashioned Hydrangea," "E-Z" and "Coke Bottles")

I just ordered some new cards along with replenishing stock in some of my older designs.  I always order from catprint.com as I love their quality and customer service.

You can purchase my notecards and other prints and small gift items at my online store on storenvy.  I hope to be updating my store with more of my "Little People" cards this week.

"Little Yellow House"
5.5" x 4.25" notecard
$2.25

I'm not sure if I ever shared my "Little Yellow House" notecard with you.  I think it's a lovely card for a housewarming.

"Pristine"
5.25" x 5.25" notecard
$3.00

Each notecard is blank inside.

Although I do have some of my "Coloring Peace" coloring books in stock, I don't have them listed in my online store as you can purchase them here at amazon.com for $8.99 each.

"Coke Bottles"
5.25" x 5.25" notecard
$3.00

Thanks for dropping by!  I'm painting away on my commissions.  I can't wait to share them with you.  Happy Painting!

So . . . I think we're done here.  I mean . . . I could continue to fiddle all day long with this thing, but at some point you have to ask yourself, "have I said enough to get my point across?"  I think I have.

The title seems to be a bit obvious, albeit boring, but here's a little backstory that lets you in on my private joke:  Earlier this week I picked up my first pair of bifocals from the optician!  So as you can SEE (ha, ha) . . . "coke bottles" has a double meaning for me.  I shall always remember this painting fondly . . . as yet another significant step toward old-age!  Ha!  But really, it is SO delightful to see again!

Thank you for dropping by.

Progress and New Class

work-in-progress

This one seems to be shaping up . . . although at this stage in the game, progress is slow:  lots of details and tweaking.

I am starting to schedule my 2016 classes, beginning with this Intermediate Watercolor class in February.  You can read more about it here.  It's fast approaching but I hope you can join us!
