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
‘Plum Blossoms’ watercolor on paper original 9×12 (cropped)
‘Plum Blossom’ watercolor on Paper 9×12
and I went beyond the woods:
‘Beyond the Woods’ ~ watercolor on paper ~ original 9×12
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

from Laura Trevey over at Bright Bold & Beautiful‘s fun and informative blog she had a giveaway and I won an amazing print of hers.
I really had no idea and I even sent congrats to the winners. I had not even seen my name down at the bottom of the poster she made. I felt a little silly when she told me I was a winner. How thrilling. and then I got my great package in the mail on Friday and Wowza:
Bright Bold & Beautiful
thank you Laura.
And I’ve been working on the anemone a bit last week and finished it up. Loving the translucently and the rich dark purples making it almost black,
Sweet Anemone
with little sparkles of white paper shining like light on the dark stamens in the middle of this incredible flower. They call these ‘wind flowers’ as well. I love that name.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Greek anemōnē means “daughter of the wind”, from ánemos ”wind” + feminine patronymic suffix -ōnē.[4]The name “windflower” is used for the whole genus as well as the wood anemone A. nemorosa.[5] from Wikipedia.
Have a blessed and sweet Sunday
peace n abundance,
CheyAnne

It’s been another long week because I’ve had a new crud this week. I’ll tell you, I Am Sick of being Sick. I am well now and Will Stay that way (I tell myself over and over). I painted this weekend and it feels so good. First I’m finishing my ballerina “Flooded in Light” and will soon take photos and post her for sale. Then I pulled out some Yupo paper I still have and traced a few of my favorite sketches. This one
Under the Milky Way
this was a combo of a few sketches put together and I really had no idea where it would go, but that’s the beauty of Yupo paper. When you don’t like it you can wipe it down and start again. The marker lines stay, but I always kinda like my lines in pieces and always debate whether to erase them or not. How do you handle that?
This image is taken propped up on the window,
on the window
This other piece is a favortie sketch of mine and after looking at the painting thur being photographed I think I want to start over on this one and even change the initial sketch a bit.
“July”
“July in Rachael’s lap”
the whole bottom leg thing bothers me. I need to bring her pink shorts straight out and give her a bit of a calf where the kitten is lying. don’t you think?
And I saw our little female coyote again this week. As I went to take the trash out I saw just her back through the meadow so I snuck back in real quick, grabbed my camera and as quietly as I could got back out side. I made it to the top of the drive way knowing she would cross somewhere close enough to capture her. Little did I know she would walk right towards me
she turned up the drive
right towards me
unfortunately I shake a bit too much with my longer lens.
If you notice her ear is always cocked towards me because she could hear me the whole time and this last time she looked right at me
‘before she faded away’
I can’t add any of these to my Etsy site because they just aren’t clear enough.
This is the reason I am putting out to the universe that I could really use a camera with image stabilization and a higher quality, bigger lens……
Hope your week was happy and healthy and the next one is even better.
peace n abundance,
CheyAnne

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….
