Week's End


Kind of interesting how things like the economy can bring about new creative projects. I have just started painting these smaller pieces. They are a 5 x 7 format and framed with chunky dark frames. The combination makes a great looking splash of color and art for the nook-like spaces in our homes. This particular one is called "Singular". It retails for $100 as do all of the 5 x 7 pieces. Check out the web site's "New Work" page to see the three that I currently have in stock. There are more in progress which should be available next week. Until then, may the Lord bless you and keep you.

The Color of Embrace

I must admit this is truly exciting. The shipment of the cocktail table style book of my art and verse that we've been working on arrived yesterday. It is now available through the website or directly from blurb.com. The link below will allow you to preview the first 15 pages. Three great ways to purchase: from the publisher, from my website, or from the studio. I must thank my husband Rick for all of the hours he has put into this project. The book is high quality, 40 pages of original art and verse, 13" x 11" and sells for $67.

Angelic


It's been a busy week at the studio so far. Today is angel day as I sit down to create a "multitude of hosts" so to speak. Just getting ready for the holiday season. My angels seem to have a mission of their own somehow not related to art sales. Funny, that... Anyway I always marvel how they are each unique. These angels are sculpted with modeling paste (which is what I'm doing today) and painted (tomorrow's task) and framed in easel back frames (4x6 and 5x7). By the time they are sitting on the shelves ready for their new owners to walk in the door, they have each taken on a wonderfully unique personality. Some look as if they are in flight, some have the look of protector, and others appear ready to wrap someone in their wings. It is one of those delights of being an artist, surprises that come along the way as the art takes on its own personality.
