New Pieces On Wholesale Crafts

Some new pieces that we are working on....fun, whimsical and humorous.  I will be posting new pieces as we make them!

Story Walk Images from Seven Springs Mountain Resort

Saturday for the Story Walk turned out to be a glorious day!  Rick and I got to Seven Springs around 7 am to help put up the murals and to place the wooden cut outs.  After the installation, we headed to Ohiopyle for Over the Falls and a day of selling my artwork.  From what I heard afterwards, the event at Seven Springs was a hit and hopefully we will do it again!

Working Thursday

I am finished with the Moses and Foxxy Acrylic piece and re-worked an Iris piece also.  I have two more small paintings to finish while I still have paint in my pan.

You had me at WOOF

I have started another painting and as you can see, the favorite subject now is the dogs.  This notorious pink bone depicted has shown up in our house in many locations.  These would include the middle of the bed, under the covers and even conveniently in the middle of the bathtub where I think Moses believes he also belongs.

I have a show coming up at the Jenners Art Gallery located at Green Gables and the rest of the month is filled with fun shows and a bit of pressure to make some cool pieces.  Our work with wholesale crafts is coming along very nicely and being busy like this has been a gift to treasure.

Once this heat dies a bit, I will be off to see Zora and to go for a drive....unless we get the big storm that weatherwoman Jane is predicting!

Some of us Rest, some of us Work

Granted it has been a fairly hot week in July.  Weather and temperatures have soared into the high 80's and even the 90's but today was a bit more tolerable.  You might think though that these dogs have worked long and hard by the looks of them.  In fact, the majority of their day has encompassed trying out various bed locations much like Goldie Locks trying out beds.  Most often, Moses would prefer to be with me, but since I am painting orders, he is officially banned from the room.  Not that I mind nose marks in paint but I think customers might!  Ah, the life of a dog.....

Paddle Boarding on the Q Dam

Rick surprised me last night with buying a paddle board.  I have seen people doing this in the Cayman's and the beach but never thought to own one.  It is really a cross between an open kayak and surf board.  It comes with a large area to stand or sit and the paddle converts to a kayak paddle or a long single paddle.  I was nervous about my balance not being too wonderful, but at my first attempt found that standing and paddling is great.  It is amazing not only what you can see, but how good this kind of core strength building will be in the long run.

You will see that not only did Rick and I love it, but Ms. Foxxy felt her sea legs too.  She Loves it also!  She swam out to me and was so good letting me put her on the board.  Sitting quietly, she surveyed her new found kingdom.  We had an awesome day with a 14 mile bike ride and two hours sharing the paddle board.  With our sea kayak and board, we are always ready for water in any form:)

Another Busy Day and It is Delightful

The Country Market went really well again today.  It was a gorgeous day and so great to see my mom and give her fresh tomatoes, green beans and brocolli from our garden.  Things were postive and really hopping today.  Last night however we took a break for ourselves and took the dogs and us for a much needed walk:)
