The Green Corduroy Coat


I love this coat so much. I just took it out of Scarlett’s closet so I could pass it on. Most items of clothes go through this process with out much thought but this outfit (there are matching pants) was worn by both of my girls and is a reminder that they are growing up way too fast!

This is a 8″x10″ mixed media painting on a Paulowina Wood profile strecher frame.

Imogen Takes Off … sniff

It was Imogen’s first day of school today. She put on a brave face but was a little nervous to be sure.  What a sweetheart.  I was so proud of her.

When she got home for lunch she said to me:

“I liked Kindergarten,  but I didn’t LOVE it”.

Hilarious!

Little Witch Casts A Spell

This is an original 3.5″x 7.5″ mixed media piece on 100% rag paper. Little Witch is a new character I am developing just in time for Halloween!

Little Witch, AKA Blossom Dearheart, can’t believe her luck! Who would ever take a witch with a name like Blossom seriously? What were her parents thinking!? Besides that, her magic spells always seem to go a little wrong … or rather right. Her black magic always turns out white, or rather pink with tiny polk-a-dots, sparkles or, heaven forbid, itsy bitsy flowers!
What is a witch with  a tender touch to do?

Eating Watermelon In The Backyard

I eat my watermelon slice sitting under the apple tree

Sorry birdie

No seeds

The watermelon is so good

Sweet and cold

Juice dribbles down my chin

I squeal with delight

Now That I Have Your Attention

The meeting will now begin

What do two white ravens need to discuss?

The would like it to be noted in the records

They are not albino

They simply have some type of mutant gene

They like that they are symbolic of peace

And they really like the gold sequins on your hat

That is all

The meeting can now be adjourned

Hello everyone, now that I have your attention, I just wanted to let you know that I will be having a Etsy showcase in the Art section Aug10 starting at 12 am for 24 hours. All of my new stuff from the last week will be up. I’ve been working really hard and I hope that you enjoy it!

Thanks,

Maria

Eating Watermelon

Watermelon is such a great way to stay cool during the summer. My kids love watermelon but I have to be honest, this no seed business really kind of freaks me out. And besides, wasn’t spitting watermelon seeds all over the backyard part of the fun? Maybe it is just me.

Blowing Kisses 101

The title pretty much says it all. Both my girls love to blow kisses.

They especially love it when you catch the kisses they’ve blown to you.

Summer Grin

This is a new ACEO I did today.  Even in this heat I managed to get a little bit  of work done.  

I love this cheeky grin.  This summer, I feel like I have watched baby Scarlett turn into little girl Scarlett.
