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.

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

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

CUSTOM PORTRAITS OF YOUR FAMILY HOME

There's a new item in my Etsy shop!  Here's how it evolved . . .

While on our trip to my oil painting workshop in Kentucky, I vowed to do a little something every day in my watercolor journal.  I knew if I didn't write it down (or draw it, as the case may be), a lot of the trip's memories would be lost.  So I did one or two pages in my journal every evening of our trip.  A couple of those pages involved the drawing of houses - the B&B in Versailles, KY, and our own home.   After posting those drawings on Facebook and this blog, several friends suggested that I add "home portraits" to my Etsy shop.

I hope you'll check it out.  I think it's very reasonably priced and a great, personalized gift for a new homeowner, or as a lasting memory of your childhood or current home.  I've tweaked it a bit since I first posted it on my Facebook page, altering the sizes just a bit to accommodate a mat with each drawing.  When your home portrait arrives, it will be matted and ready to slip into a standard size frame.  All you need to do it take a few photos and send them to me via my Etsy shop, and iPhone photos are just fine.  I give photographing suggestions on the listing page in Etsy.
