And the winner of the Dorothy print is.....

Hello everyone, the winner of the print from my Celebrate Oz giveaway is post # 24 which is MARLENE!

YAY!

thanks to all participants, it was a fun event!

How about some puppy love?

Here is my latest. I love her! and once I get to the fabric store and buy some organza ribbon to hang her, she will be in my shabby chic living room. I wish I'd taken some pictures as I was working, just so you can all see the ugly phase before the girl started to emerge. I had such a hard time at first, the hair was originally going to be white, but I couldn't make the shading look good, it looked gray and dull.
I was only going to use pinks and white, but I added this very pretty spring green, and it just worked.
I finally managed to get a few prints listed in my Etsy shop as well. I've never been a big fan of them for myself, I prefer original art, but it seems like most people prefer prints. Probably because I'm too lazy to frame anything :-D
Good thing most people aren't like me!

More artwork

What kind of an artist paints something, then decides she can't sell it? ME! Each one I do I say is my favorite, and I don't want to part with it. I just put this butterfly mixed media painting up in my Etsy shop, after holding onto it for a few months. The other 2 of the series sold, and it reminds me that I need to do another one. I was hoping to do a dozen buttefly paintings, but got sidetracked with other work. Soon...

I have to say I love painting mixed media girls, each one has their own personality. I am happy to have picked up another commission painting, and this should be fun! It will be a challenge though, because this isn't a typical girl I will be painting. She is a bit on the goth side, wild and beautiful, so I hope I can bring this out in the art.

Hopefully within the week I will be able to have some prints of my little girls in my shop.
