Painting for Fall or is it Autumn!?!

 We haven't really even started summer and I am painting for fall or is it autumn?
 I love the colors of fall/autumn and Halloween.
 I am trying to decide if I should use these items and make a raffia swag.  Hang a crow, a scarecrow man and a colorful leaf on a braided piece of raffia.......decisions.
 Still painting for Summer.  Love these colorful flowers with a Welcome painted on it.  Finally have them listed in my Etsy shop. 
I hope you have had a successful week and are ready for the unofficial start of summer this weekend!
Enjoy,
Barb

What I have been working on!

I thought I would share what I have been working on.  It is amazing when you have a deadline how fast time flies and how much you can get done when forced too.
These next few photos are large piece that I have painted for a local spring show.
I do not put them on Etsy due to the fact that they are large and I am not sure how to do the shipping.
I will take any advise you have on shipping if you ship large things!
This is a 27 x 5 inch piece inch of barn wood.  Love these stacked chickens!  The original design is by Rebecca Carter then I altered it.  It is hard to tell but the chickens looking down have eggs hanging around their necks. 
Patriotic chickens!  This frame measures 20 x 13 inches.  The original design is by Susan Jill Hall-love this one! 
Love this design by Cheri Saffiote.  The frame size is 26 x 16 inches and the pattern has been altered to fit into the screen. 
This design is a Shara Reiner's pattern and I have painted it big and small.  This frame size is 15 x 15 inches.  
I love this little guy and took him to show a gal and another gal bought it on the spot.  It is a Tami Rodke design.  I cannot remember the measurements. 
This pattern by Shara Reiner is large...the inset is 16 x 20 inches.  My dad had made this frame so that was more like a shadow box so the screen sits deeper.  This one sold fairly fast too.
I am lucky enough to have a good friend that allows me to put up a little display at her Jazzersize studio.  All the gals there give me great feed back.
I will be at the Simple Treasures Boutique at the Ogden's Union Train Depot.  I did this one last year and had a great time.  It was fun to walk around the Depot and look an all the displays from years past.
Got a few more things lined up to paint so I better get to it!
Enjoy your day,
Barb

Bingo and Flowers

It seems that maybe summer is truly here and it is time to smell the flowers!!

These have been some fun flowers to paint and I am liking them in the barnwood frames.

BINGO has started at the Primitive and Folk Artistists Blog so check to see if your words are listed!
We have family in from Vermont and Michigan so I will be taking time to smell the flowers!
Remember to sign up for my Birthday Giveaway too!  It ends on June 15th and drawing will be on the 16th!
Enjoy and take time to smell the flowers!

READY FOR SPRING!!!

I hate to whine and complain but we have had all winter to have snow and I feel really bad for all of you in the Midwest that got all the snow.  But the forecast here is for snow tonight and into tomorrow!
NO, I am ready for Spring!  Winter had it's chance...bring on the sun and warmer temperatures.
Well at least I have been painting for Spring.  A couple of new listings on Artfire and Etsy.  Hopefully this will help bring on SPRING!


Anybody else ready for Spring?
