and I started a 30 Day Marketing challenge from one of my favorite artist on the web.  She is so inspring and helpful to everysingle person that looks for it.  I’ve talked before about Artist Helping Artist  ~ Leslie Saeta ` blog talk radio and her show is made special for artists and creatoress, and Goddess of all kinds that want to grow and learn and have fun doing what you love.

this is day 6 right now and she took us all to

PicMonkey.com  Watch out, it is sooooooo fun that it’s really hard to get anything else done.  But today I am on a mission to write this blog.  I have goals this year and they aren’t out to the start I had hoped, so it’s time to learn other ways of creating revenue for our home and way-of-life.  (Which I adore, for all of my friends that always wonder why I don’t send flowers very often anymore….I love you always(…

When Springtime Rolls Around

May 4, 2013

Tulips are seen everywhere you look.  Some even grow them in beautiful clay pots so they can move them around.

This piece is really incredible in person and computer monitors, altho handy, just can’t give you all the wonderful colors and feel this painting has in here.  The way the light plays on the flowers is just wonderful to look at.  I love the feel of this painting.

If you would like to gift this to someone for graduation or maybe Mothers Day, or simply just because, please click the  image and it will take you to my Etsy Shop.

Thank you for stopping by,

peace n abundance,

CheyAnne

beyond the woods, with a fat little bunny, to the plum blossom tree

April 14, 2013

Busy week and productive one too.  I lOVE Spring.  I feel so motivated about my art and creating.  Also learning new things about the business end of it all.

This is actually the first week in a long, long time that I have posted two posts in one week.  I wrote about a returning robin enjoying our little ponds of water to take a much needed bath after their migration.

AND I’ve been painting: not really big paintings, but watercolor sketches of plum blossoms

and I went beyond the woods:

and found me a fat, little green bunny:  (just the first, well second layer) of Winsor Newton Paynes Grey with Sap Green…..

bunny, bunny so fat and round…why do you look all green?

 

Just need to add some more detail and fix a few things and I might call her good.  We will see tomorrow.  I found this little sweetie in a new store in town, kinda like a Ross, with a little bit of everything thrown in.  Couldn’t resist her for 2 bucks.

I hope everyone’s weekend was fabulous,

peace n abundance,

CheyAnne

 

 

 

 

Robin Red Breast, taking a bath in the Garden Pond

April 10, 2013

This was the first year in about three that the Robins left our area of northern New Mexico for the winter again, like they use to do.  So seeing them and hearing their melodious songs in the morning is so incredible and welcome.

I just added fresh water to the pond liners and it didn’t take long for one to make out like a bandit
