TEACUPS, BOOKS, AND MORE

After 7 months of dry brushes, life has settled down again and

I'm ready to paint!

It's fun to have several things going at once and one of those will be a new children's story entitled,

LUCY

and

T H E L O N E S O M E P I N E

This story is dedicated to my little granddaughter, Lucy,

and I hope to have it ready for her and my shop by Christmastime.

Along with the book, I'm working on another Tea Cup Tale painting. This order specified an inspirational quote behind the teacup to celebrate a friend's achievement of a doctorate degree.

See the shop listing to order your own china/mug painting

Also, a new shipment of my children's book will be arriving next Tuesday and can be ordered

here.

Last of all, with the holidays right around the corner, I'm again taking orders for
Home/Front Door Portraits.

Those can be ordered

"THE JUDGE" 6 x 8 inch watercolor

Today, a friend and I took a drive to a great little shop in the country, Monches Farm. Along with beautiful seasonal home decor, they have a perennial farm, and a chicken house. Seeing all the chickens and the roosters strutting around made me think about painting one of those kingpins!

I've named him "The Judge" - because he's the one who would walk around like he owns the place. 6 x 8 inch watercolor - it's the perfect size for a standard 5 x 7 inch mat. It has been painted on extremely sturdy #300 Arches Cold Press Watercolor Paper. You can find it in my Etsy shop, Gillyflower Cottage, or on my gallery page at Daily Paintworks.

Also, my ABC book,

O is for the BIG OAK TREE, Children's Rhymes from A to Z

is in the shop at Gillyflower Cottage. They did a great job on them. The colors are rich and vibrant and the books are printed on heavy cardstock with the front and back covers on even heavier stock. Spiral bound to make it easy to see the whole painting on each page, and easy holding for read-alouds.
