I’m going to be in my first, well kinda,

newmexicomtngirl — Fri, 18 May 2012 03:11:23 +0000

art show in quite a heck of a long time. It is an Equine Art show Which means I get to focus on my Ponies and Horses art, both my watercolours and photography.

I am so super stoked and it’s all happening with ‘ease and grace”. My motto for a long time now………

This is an original that I will offer for sale for the first time at the show. All matted and framed up.

“Sugar” in the Apple Orchard Meadow

and then I can include my first “Ponies in the Meadow”

“Ponies in the Meadow” on my mac

as an incredible laminated WaterColor giclee any size. Maybe bigger than I’ve done before, like maybe an 16×20 or something close.

sooooo many choices to choose from.

Lots of prep to do to make it the best I can be. 35 days and counting.

I have a 10×10 wall space to hang my art and make a lasting impression.

If you have suggestions, please feel free to fess up, k? I would love it….

yellow rose sketch with my watercolors

on an afternoon was we were listening to coast-to-coast

my new Yellow Rose blossom

I love, love, love yellow roses.

Back 30 years ago as of July 24, 1982, when we brought our first son home from the hospital, my yellow rose was blooming and I fell in love with this color.

My favorite yellow that I just adore is the yellow that is tinged with pink on the edges, but it seems a little harder to find. This is a Knockout from Wal-Mart, and it’s just yellow, but such a wonderful rich lemon yellow that changes to white as it stays open. And the scent is just heavenly and fragrant, A little spicy and yet sweet too. At first I wanted the yellow to last longer, but the more I grow it the more the white grows on me too. Perfect for a moon garden. Seems to be doing pretty well with a little rose food and moisture. So out came my watercolours, just to sketch, not necessarily produce a finished painting.

and I tried another one with a darker background, but lost my momentum

I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day.

I have lots of original watercolor paintings, finished and everything, on my etsy shop along with beautiful photographs.

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

newmexicomtngirl — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 04:33:22 +0000

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).

Sugar and Cardinal SpringTime WaterColours

peace n abundance,

CheyAnne

I hope your spring is as magical as mine.

Bought a used car, sent out a wonderful giclee of my Blu, antwerp Blue giclee, and got email that an “interior designer in Tallahassee, Florida currently working on a small restaurant remodeling job…. is looking for rural photography images” and mind came to her, I was asked.

How flattering and she ended up buying a piece. SWEET❤❤

Remember When…

newmexicomtngirl — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 03:53:38 +0000

I talked about lamination of my prints and how easy it is to frame them this way. Wellllll…. I sold a really big hugh 30×40 inches photograph of my Old Blue Chevy with the WaterTank..

Talk about exciting….., to sell something this big was a gas!!!! And then when I told her about having it laminated, she was all for it, as long as the colors didn’t suffer.

Me and My Old Blue Chevy with WaterTank as a 30x40

And She LOVES it, hers that is. “Super love this amazing photo! We are very happy with the lamination process, you barely know it’s there. This photo is awesome this large, and is the focal piece of our country chic master bedroom!!! Photos to follow soon ) Thanks CheyAnne!” Is her feedback.

and she also told me

“Received my print yesterday and it is stunning!!!! I cant wait to hang it. I can’t tell if it is laminated or not, but the front feels texturally different from the back. If this is the lamination, it beautifully preserves the photo!”

It was so gorgeous really big like this, ssooo……Me and my honey had to have one too!

You can touch them and love them and they can withstand lots of elements. All archival and wonderful to behold.

I taped it onto the wall with clear packing tape and plan on fitting molding right on top of the tape, to make it look like a standard, altho Very Large frame with a back, but it won’t need any backing. We did notice that when you take it out of the container you better have a super flat big area to unroll it and hang it right away. It can get kinks in it and so far those little mistakes look like part of the bangs and dings in the old truck, but I wouldn’t want one in the sky. It would probably show up too easily. So we hung it right away.

Leonardo is so in love with this one, he can't wait for the next one.

We think it will be this one

or maybe

Old Blue Chevy in the Field

and I really like this view

Old Blue Chevy in the Snow

Are there any of them that are your favorite? I could do this for you too.

Thank you Sarah in Arizona, for making this possible. It’s definitely a big one for me.

Another Little Springtime She Cardinal watercolour

newmexicomtngirl — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 05:29:43 +0000

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

newmexicomtngirl — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 03:24:54 +0000

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.

❀✿ 〪〪〪Thank you for your support of my art and if you see anything else in any of my streams that you would like for yourself, or for me to send to someone else as a surprise gift, you can contact me here and I will send you an invoice to your email account after talking about what you want. I’ve had quite a few people look at my other streams and ask for a certain image to be made a certain way. Please feel free to browse away…..

⤷⨳➺CREDIT AND DEBIT CARD CUSTOMERS –
