This is a 12″x16″ mixed media painting on wood. This painting has 1.5″ deep sides that are painted red and is SOLD. Reproductions are available upon request. maria@mariapacewynters.com or comment below.

UPDATE: Well these girls are SOLD and will be going away to there forever home in the future. They’re on LAY away (pun intended) … did you know I do layaway? Yes, I do! It’s a great way to get what you want even if you don’t have all the money to fork over right now. I love helping people get something they love, it makes me happy

OK so this is a little edited  sneak peek of the upcoming lesson I am doing online with Ever After. If you would like to take part in this lesson, follow this link. It focuses on the fairy tale Snow White and Rose Red but I also answer many question on style development.  The main lesson shows the entire painting of this piece from beginning to end with me doing a voice over explaining  what I am doing and why.  I am still a little shaky about speaking to a camera and getting a little tongue tied in sections but bear with me, I hope to get better. I’d love it if you’d like the video and even subscribe to my channel on You Tube. Thanks for your support!

Thank you,

I have created a You Tube channel that I hope to feature more 30 second paintings, lesson and workshop information and give aways. I hope you will subscribe.

I think this whole world of video might be kind of fun… maybe…  ha, ha, ha … we’ll see! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this 30 second painting, which, by the way, is available in my Etsy shop.

It was Scarlett’s thirteenth birthday on Saturday.  She is such an amazing kid. Her mind is full of creative ideas and facts. That brain of hers is full of facts!  I now have two teenagers living in our house but you know what? I couldn’t be happier. Those girls have such a deep love for one another. I love seeing them laugh and carry on together, even when I am trying to get them out of the house and they will NOT focus on the task at hand. Deep down, I feel warmth in my heart, even though I might be yelling for them to put on their damn shoes! I love hearing them sing together, which is often. Scarlett is always singing show tunes and they often feed off of each other and end up harmonizing  on the top of their lungs. I love this so much, even though I may ask for them to keep it down when I literally cannot hear myself think. I love it.  I love how much Scarlett adores animals and often asks if she can go to the pet store when I am at the Post office. I meet her after I am done and often find her  stroking a cat, trying to pick up a budgie or holding a bunny. I have been suckered into adopting a cat (Esther) and Scarlett is also responsible for Jack, our tortoise… I’m a soft touch. (That is two gingers, one Westie and a tortoise for those of you keeping track ha, ha).

Yes, I am a lucky one. “The luckiest”, as Ben Fold’s would say.
