INSPIRATIONAL TEA CUP QUOTE

Tonight I worked on a tea cup painting ordered for a person who just received her PhD.  What a huge accomplishment, and a fun project to work on!

All wrapped up and ready to go!

If you have a favorite quote and a favorite tea cup, let me paint a personalized gift for YOU!

My teacup quote paintings can be found in my Etsy shop here.

Thanks for looking!

WINTER'S FLOWERS

Walking outdoors in the summer - there's so much to look at and smell.  

Everyone's gardens are blooming, and lawnmowers are putting that 

great fresh-cut grass scent in the air.

Walking in the winter is a whole different story 

with only the skeletons of summer left behind, and the cold has a smell 

that's unmistakable. 

But cut a sprig from a pine at any time of year and that tangy, fresh scent 

reminds you there is life outdoors, even in winter.

Winter tames man, woman, and beast.

-William Shakespeare

INK ON MY HANDS

I couldn't be happier than when I have ink on my hands and my work table's a mess!  Sorting through old projects, some barely begun, some almost done, it was a good night.

The clamorous owl that nightly hoots 

and 

wonders at our quaint spirits.

-William Shakespeare

Thanks for looking!
