Persistence collage

Thanks to some photoshop lessons from my sweet neighbor, Donna, I have been creating lately. This started with tiny purple dots, then a grunge layer of teal over that, then white grids, then white swirl, teal swirl, and one of my painted flowers, a calla lily. Then I added the words of persistence. It was so fun to do, I hope you like it. xoxo

Happy New Year 2012

This is a previous post from a year or so ago and not the one I was going to post today but it was a reading from our church service this morning so thought it was appropriate and what could I better wish for you for the New Year than that the Lord will shine His face upon you! xoxox

Christmas Blessings

Merry Christmas, everyone. The birthday of the Prince of Peace! xoxoxo

Dance!

New painted heart to go along with old saying. Have a great weekend everyone!

Serenity Prayer

This picture is part of my new redesign of all the products that I sell. I have sold this saying for many years. Today I painted the paper-white flowers and added the brush lettered "Serenity" word. You wouldn't think that the leaves would be the hardest part but I had to paint those leaves several times. Maybe yesterday just wasn't a leaf day!

Leaves

I painted these leaves as a background for one of my calligraphic pieces. I thought I would share them with you. Thanks so much for looking at my blog! Have a great day!

Beginning the Redesign

Since my show season was SO bad, I decided to reinvent my artwork. I did that at the beginning of the 90's so I guess it is time to do it again. Now starting that process. I think that will take most of the winter!

My new artwork will feature more illustration and smaller calligraphy. I started with redesigning my business card and these flowers will be used on my card. Stay tuned for more! Thanks so much for looking at my blog. xoxox
