Be Kind

When Shawn Petite put her woodland creatures on sale I had to get the only one I did not already own. The fox.

I created a Video for this cute little creature. One of the only ones I probably will get to this week.

I am preparing for an Art Festival this weekend and I want to have as many pieces as possible. Some of my friends asked for a "pre-sale" and although I am grateful for sales, that put me down 5 canvases. Here is the video. If you are looking for product info. I will get to that at some point.

Don't Give Up

Today I am up on Shawn Petite's blog with my mixed media project:
Don't Give Up 3-20-2019

This project was inspired by the woodland creatures stencil rabbits. Spring arrived early in the Southeast Low Country. Daffodils are flowering, azaleas are budding and the trees are waking from their short winter’s rest. Easter is just around the corner too and what better to represent that holiday than bunnies. In this project I used both stencils for a Mama and baby rabbit. Mom gives her offspring good advice about how the fence should not be a barrier for her to get what she wants. Don’t give up, ever.

Enjoy The Video:

River of Dreams

I took a break from florals to do a landscape.

This was for the Wanderlust 2019 Rivers category. Rather than an art journal I put it on a canvas. I love the rock texture. I created that with beads set in textured sand. It might not be grunged up enough. I did create a video for it. Short and Sweet. Took several iterations to get the river to look like it was not a quagmire. Enjoy
