i am going to attempt adding some new pieces of my work onto etsy fairly often. but i won't post each and every one on my blog, or that might get a little old. so...for today, this is the one i just added, thought i'd share as it's one of my favorites. SIMPLY STATED: ENJOY, my friends. xo

THE SEA IN DECEMBER...

WIP...i am digging the pink :))

MORE wip and intuitive paintings......a section of a WIP that lit my fire!

Gifts galore...see, i've been busy in my workshop more and more...

These are the hand enbroidered titles for my "sea pillows"...

i shall be incorporating these "lovely titles" sewn onto the pillows with added yarn and fabric...

isn't the "sea lace" fabric sumptuous? these are fabric remnants that someone SWELL gave me!

there are those around me and espECIALLY on our blogs that encourage and entice and inspire...something of which i hope i too am a part of---SHARING and SPARKING our energized creativity back and forth...

this is what all the backs of the pillows look like...They are all about 16" to 20" squares

COLLECTIVE CREATIVE ENERGIES is what we are about at timesWASH CLOTHS GALORE!

CHRISTMAS JOY!!!

 hanging angel ornaments...i'm at it again...just can't resist...it's soon to be Christmas afterall...

 i got this idea to share with everyone, anyone...found it in a magazine somewhere?
grabbed an empty box...tore out an interesting paper page from magazine, painted a wash and then white randomly.
then painted the angel and dressed her.
glued old jewelry on the top and added wire and beads...voila... an intriguing ornamental!

HAPPY WEEKEND TO ALL MY BLOGGING BUDS! XOXO

SUPPORTIVE friends, a world of wealth...

 i jumped out of my car when i arrived at work last week, ran under one of the chinese pistache trees and shot many photos...one day these were just beginning to change and then overnight they turned so magnificent. they are all over the campus and so INSPIRATIONAL!!!

 i don't usually frame my work with glass on them, but for some reason i really liked the trasformation the glass gave this simple painting...and then i loved how the photo shows the reflection of a window on the left :))

i have so much fun experimenting...always...while taking one of misty's classes i didn't have watercolor paints so tried turning my acryrlics into just that (it's done all the time i hear). any hoo, that's how i painted this one, with a little ink to outline. while painting it, i was THINKING of mistie and her words and her support and thought it looked like her...but then when i was done...i thought...this doesn't look like her at all, but happily i thought..."i love the feel, the emotions this has turned out and THAT'S just why mistie's paintings drew me in in the first place"! This was quite awhile back and now she sits on the San Clemente Pier in Southern California...for sale yes...in my niece's space...if she doesn't sell, i won't be sad...honest...i maybe should have saved her...we shall see what's meant to be! and i don't usually get so attached to my work...has this happened to you?

The previous post was a hasty trial at posting on BLOGGERS new modern version...i still have to learn so much, but know it's good for me :))

THANK YOU FOR PEEKING AND THANK YOU FOR LISTENING XOXO
