Circus Girls

The Circus Girl paintings are all done and listed separately in my Etsy shop.

If you are interested in buying all 3, send me a convo. thru Etsy and I will

come up with a discounted price.

Hope you all had a lovely holiday weekend.

My kids have one last day off and it looks like it's going to be a pretty nice one.

I'm headin' out to take Penny for a walk now.

She doesn't know yet, but I bet she'll be excited. ;)

Good Night Little Frog.

I've begun working on some image for Dish and Spoon Productions.

You remember.  We talked about this, people. :)

I get to do what I wish with the originals.

I wish to add them to my Etsy shop.

This one is there now. 

Mike is off today and we have lots of running around to do.

I haven't bought a stitch of Easter candy yet and we are totally unprepared for Eli's prom which is coming up fast!

And, of course, there is play off hockey to watch.

Hard to believe Eli will be graduating before the play offs end!

Oh yeah, here's another thing I worked on this week.

It's for my nephew's girlfriend's sister's baby shower. 

She is going to use it on the invitations and then I will add the birth info. once

the baby is born.

I think it's kinda cute. :)

Gotta run!  Have a lovely spring/Easter weekend.

Back from Stampington...

...and in my shop.

"Hold Their Hand, Hold Their Hearts"

arrived back on my doorstep yesterday.

These two are still excited about their feature in Prims Spring 2011 magazine.

But they are equally excited about finding a new home.

They think they would make a lovely Mother's day gift or maybe a special graduation present for your daughter.

Also they are thinking about carrots. :)

Find them here.

Illustration Friday - Journey

I'm thinking the journey from one end of a high wire to another is a pretty long one.

Trapeeeeeeze!

Can't decide if her tutu looks good or if it's just a hot mess. 

I may like it better with an antique filter.

I pretty much like everything better with an antique filter.

Maybe cause I'm old?

:)

The Lion TAmer and some NEWS!

First off I thought I'd show you how my little Lion Tamer turned out.

I think I love her, but there's no time for that...must move on to the next one.

I think the trapeze artist will be next.

I probably won't paint up the sides and list them until I have all 3 done.

I'll keep you posted.

As for "THE NEWS"

it is this...

I'm teaming up with Dish and Spoon Productions who want to put MANY of my images on their beautiful products!

It's all very new, but I couldn't wait to share the news.

I'll keep you updated as things progress.

In the meantime, you should go to their website and see all of the beautiful things they offer.

I can't tell you how thrilled I am that they found me. 

That's it for now.  Lot's still to do.

pssst....

Here's what I listened to while painting The Lion Tamer.

Love every song!

We downloaded it here.

You should too. It makes you paint good. ;)

Circus Sketches

Here are the next few things you will see painted up and in my shop.

I think I mentioned that they are for a small project I'm working on.

The client only needs the images so the originals will be in my shop.

So I think these are the 3 we're going with for now.

Check back soon(?) to see the finished trio.

For SAle

Excuse me, waiter, there's an elephant in my shop.

I don't know.  I'm tired.

Balancing Act

Balancing Act

I've got lots and lots to do today, so I thought I'd save a bit of time and blog directly from flickr.
I have had a request for a few circus images. The "requestor" needs the images only so these will probably show up in my shop at some point. And they will certainly show up on some Zazzle items soon. That's why all the white backgrounds to start with lately...so I can add them onto white tees in my etsy shop. I think I will leave the white background on this one and just paint the sides of the canvas up with stripes, polka dots, and stars. I'll show when I do.

The lots of things to do includes making cupcakes for the last Rams hockey gathering of Eli's high school career. There will be food and drinks, video watching, and the handing out of awards and letters.

I better get started.
Hope your day is full of fun!

Goodies

There are a few new goodies in my shop.

Storybook mini bookmarks with matching stickers,

And the Daydream Believer Moleskine.

The Bunny Doodle one is already gone.
