As I mentioned in my last post, I have  been working on these tiny, mixed media Valentines.  
Below is a sampling:





These little pieces range in size of 2"x2" to 4.5"x4.5" and will range in price from $25-$40.  Sweet little Valentine gifts.  I hope you can come by my show!

From My Heart

It's that time again...Valentines Day will be here soon.  

Below are three mixed media Heart paintings that I have just completed.  This year, my hearts have been through a lot.  All tattered and torn and broken.  But, they have survived the hard times and their soul shines through.  

Tattered Heart          24 x 30 

Heart of Gold          11 x 14

Mended Heart          11 x 4
"Mended Heart" was selected for the Paseo Arts Association 2013 Members Show!  The Opening of "Art of Heart" will be February 1st in conjunction with the First Friday Gallery Event.  I hope you can come out and support all the artists in The Paseo Arts District!  If you've never done the First Friday gallery night, it's a lot of fun, with some really incredible art.

Thrifting

It was just one of those days...

I had to run some errands, and would be right by one of my favorite thrift stores, so, of course, I had to stop in!  Now, some days I am on the hunt for something specific.  But, today, I was just lalli-gagging.  Naturally, that is when the best treasures show themselves!  I'm so excited to find all this lace and linens!  They are becoming increasingly harder to find (at a bargain price, that is).  This is what I found:

Sweet Easter name plates sitting on top of a soft, gray-blue table cloth.




A HUGE bag of hand-crocheted lace doilies!!

Vintage playing cards.  
(I have an obsession with these old cards.
I sold all of mine during my "Cherryland" antique booth days.)


 Three lace cafe curtain panels, with rings attached!
Where O where will you find a home in my house.

Now, when I get the creative blast, I have the materials I need in my studio to get to work.  Otherwise, I get focused on the hunt and not the work!  The lovely ailment of Creative ADD.

I spy...I'm sure some of these will show up in future artwork!
