January Flurries!

I have been busy PAINTING!

Custom Orders!  

And Painting Hearts 

Primitive Hearts

And More Hearts.

Right around the corner is Valentine's Day!

Already?

This wonderful creation was painted by a fabulous painter, Jenn, who had this great idea!

I LOVE how this looks!

She did a great job--four season toads!!

Thanks for sharing Jenn.

Wishing you all a warm day today.

Sad when 29 degrees feels warm.

Enjoy your day,

Barb

Crazy Weather!

  I am not sure if I should be worried....

We have had record high temps the last few days.

I have had the windows open and the fans on!

I watch the news and see the East being pummeled with snow.

So for us in the West does this mean a COLD Spring or a unimaginable HOT Summer?

We did have snow on Christmas Day but really nothing to speak of since then.

Either way I am a bit worried!

I finally was able to complete a few custom orders.

I have been working on all different types of orders.

I love when I can paint Christmas and Halloween in February!

Wishing the Folks back East a safe time with all the snow.

Feel free to send some out our way!

Enjoy,

Barb

What FUN I have been up too!

Missing in action!

I was contacted by a gal in Australia to paint up a couple of Santa's for her.

I had shown her this one:

I then came up with this and she loved it!

As you notice it is very LARGE!

She also had me paint up this one for her Mom!

This was so much FUN and she was so fun to work with!

I put it in the mail on Wednesday of last week and it is on it's way to Australia!!

I am hoping it gets there safe and both her and her Mom will love them!

I never did show this Santa finished: 

Here he is all done!

I love doing custom orders....it makes me think outside my box!

It can be a bit stressful but so worth it when all is said and done!

Hope you all have a great day,

Barb

OUCH!!!

I am no hand model but I do rely on my hand to paint!

Last night trying to get everyone out the door for Curling and Ice Skating I got my finger caught underneath the microwave and ripped half of my fingernail out of place-OOOOOOUCH.

I will not show you that photo.

So needless to say we ended up at the Doctor's office because the bottom part of the nail was on top of the cuticle.  They numbed the area then tried to push the nail back in place so that a new nail will follow the track and grow back in the right place.

It took two Nurse Practitioners about 6 times to try this and the Novocaine kept wearing off.  Can we all say THROBBING pain!!  Now I cannot get this wet for three to four days-yea no washing the dishes!!

By 10:30 we were finally home...the funniest part of all of this was that I was not charged money for the swear jar and just yesterday I received two huge custom orders!?!

Enjoy your weekend-I see sleep and a pain pill in mine.
