in lOVE again…painting “Sugar”, spring in the Meadow

April 11, 2012

of Apple trees all in bloom.

I’ve been so, so busy working in town, building our second dome, starting mini-gardens and PAINTING…..

my second painting of “Ponies in Meadows” series.

All my life I’ve been heading here, dreaming of here, manifesting my life here, and painting what I love:

"azúcar / Sugar" on my deck

So now all she needs is to get her picture taken by Barry Norris Studio, a world class professional  printing studio,

"Sugar" in the Springtime Orchard

 

along with his sister “Springtime She Cardinal”  so prints can be numbered or not.  Not sure what the  pros and cons of all that are just yet.

Won’t be long and if you would like to purchase either painting, please let me know through my email here on my etsy links and I will take $25. off either or both if you purchase both at the same time., original painting when you mention this comment (first come first serve).

I hope your spring is as magical as mine.

collecting beautiful artwork from others

March 28, 2012

Seems like artist everywhere like to share their amazing work.  they price it as low as they can so people that see it, love it right away, and then see a price and love that too.

I’ve been collecting art from other artist over the 5 years I’ve been on Etsy.  And even longer really….. back in my college days  (@31 and 32) and from my mother always….

One of my latest purchases is from http://www.etsy.com/people/EcoProduct

Rose and Max (husband and wife) created this little wonderful, super sweet

Raspberry Finch by EcoProduct

They have amazing art.  Check them out and find something for yourself or maybe your special someone that you like to buy for.

Isn’t it just the sweetest thing?  and all the little brushstrokes just get me evderytime

Another Little Springtime She Cardinal watercolour

March 3, 2012

she’s really coming along.  I was a little scared to add her little eye, but I’m feeling good about her.  Still quite a little ways to go.  But soon she will join her sister of February

and my first try at uploading a video, very tiny, like 5 seconds or something

WaterColor “Springtime She Cardinal”

videos are more ways of getting the news out and something new to learn.

here is a very rough photograph of her progress as she comes alive.

WaterColour of "SpringTime she Cardinal" 11x14

This photograph of the little girl herself is from Kate over on her incredibly talented blog.  full of life, amazing captures with their camera she shares with her husband, and their dog named George.

check her out on “Chronicles of a Country Girl”

peace n abundance,

Unique framing of a Magical Watercolour

March 1, 2012

floating above the frame glass

When I traded some lovely photos of female Cardinals for my Heart Tree print, I was super excited. I have loved this photograph for as long as I’ve been following her blog. www.http://chroniclesofacountrygirl.blogspot.com/  I was even more enamored when I was able to have the print on my wall and see all the nuisances in this beautiful little bird. Her subtle orange/red copatone (big cap) and her bright fiery beak just screamed watercolor, paint a watercolour. So I did (with Kate’s permission of course).

The Original painting SOLD before I was finished (how blessed I am) to my long lost cousin to be a gift for my Aunt June. I am just amazed by the turn of events this little bird brought.

floated, laminated and hung

This is a unique way of framing her. I have a new idea for you if you are interested. My printer guy laminates (professionally) (Not like what you think lamination is) this is an amazing process that makes the piece so durable and you can NOT see the difference between one that is and one that isn’t laminated.  It’s that good,    anyway….. then he puts it on foam core and it can sit on the outside of a glass frame. You can buy an 8×10 giclee, in an 11×14 frame and it sits on the outside of the glass. You never have to take the frame apart unless you want to change the color of the matte underneath the glass. So this lovely piece sits on the outside of the glass and “floats”.    What do you think.?

Giclees are so wonderfully like the real painting that it is hard to distinguish between the original painting and the reproduction. This process allows a buyer to purchase (at a reduced price) a quality, archival print that can be framed and hung with the appearance of an original watercolor painting.

ϔ⤷ This piece is a beautiful Professionally Printed, Crane Museo Max, premium archival, acid-free, 100% cotton-rag giclee and laminated.
The Crane papers do not use any optical brighteners to enhance the white point of the paper and it gives you the richest blacks and the whitest whites. I love this paper Ῠ.

❧100 years in typical home display, 200 years in dark storage, 1 to 5 years for commercial display
❧ Edges are torn like original watercolor paper. It adds a very unique feel for the whole piece.

❉ 4 to 7 day turn around time on this, not including weekends, altho I will always get it
❀ 〪〭 printed and out just as quickly as I can and will let you know what to expect.

Colors in monitors are always different and this one just can’t convey the beauty here. So rich and deep and vibrant. she really is amazing and the yellows in this computer thing aren’t quite so yellow, the reds and oranges really pop and the purple behind her if very rich.
