New Painting

I have just listed a new painting on etsy. This is one of a series of bird painting/collages that I will be listing over the next few days.

Trip to Washington DC and the Butterfly Garden

It was a very hot time to be in DC but we made the best of it! On Tuesdays at the Museum of Natural History the Butterfly Garden is free. They love visitors and will hitch a ride with you through the garden. I am going to do an exhibit in the fall entitled 'Butterflies' and this gave me lots of inspiration!

Two New Prints and Paper Clay Birds

Two new tea themed prints are now for sale on ETSY. Just click over and take a closer look. I have been busy working on bird themed items and have done some paper clay birds that I just love!
The birds will be listed this weekend.

Tom's One Day Without Shoes

Tom's shoes is having a special fundraiser this April 8th. It's a day for us to go without shoes, to feel what it is like for so many children on this planet of ours who have no shoes.

ML Gifts in Nyack, NY is taking this fundraiser a step further and they have asked artists to customize a pair of shoes that they will auction off sometime that evening.

Here are my customized Tom's that will be on display at ML Gifts.

And here is more info from the Tom's website:

Snowy Day #3

Well three days into my Painting A Day experience I messed up! We went to DC to visit our son and I brought my watercolors and pens and paper with all good intentions of doing some quick little paintings in our down time but it didn't happen. Just too much to catch up with and enjoy our visit and it went so quickly. His new home is lovely and we had a great time.
However my husbands back started to bother him a little last thursday after the latest snowstorm he was in a bit of pain over the weekend. But after the six hour drive, he couldn't get out of bed on monday morning and has been in pain all week. A trip to the doctor and some meds but he is still hurting.
So I am hoping to start up again tomorrow, we'll see how it goes..........
