Welcome to the New Year!

Whew! I survived the holiday season! Lots of one of a kind items on order and they all made it under the appropriate trees in time!

I also participated in the Jasper Christmas Market with my handpainted rock ornaments and they were a hit with all! I never thought I would be painting on rocks but they are a lovely canvas to work on. My husband and I are members of the Pine Country Gem and Mineral Society so we have a big interest in rocks and that has led to me painting on them. We have a nice selection of agates, petrified wood, jasper, quartz and more and we cut the slabs from them.

I love the cute little rabbits that seem to be everywhere! They hop and then they freeze...thinking you won't be able to see them in their grassy spot!

I was digging back in the archives last night and found this watercolor I painted 5 years ago. I love redbud trees! The color just can't be explained in words...it is something you have to see for yourself. It's not quite pink and it's not quite purple but a hue unto itself. They don't smell sweet like the wisteria blossoms but they put on a SPECTACULAR show once a year!

Well, it's my first post on this blog and as I look outside the window the sun is shining and it is pouring buckets.

Gotta luv East Texas weather!

I'm not complaining though...the grass and trees were starting to get brown so the moisture is much appreciated. An afternoon of rain perks everything up (even me) and makes it a lush, green world again.

We are still working on my art studio so for now I am set up in the dining room but there are 2 big windows and the air conditioning works great so I'm painting up a storm!
Hmmmm...I see weather is a theme today. ;)

I'm working on some handpainted items for the holiday season but I also have some new watercolors coming up soon. My work can be seen at different venues such as fineartamerica, etsy and zazzle as well as ebay, so please follow the links to view the different shops.

Back to work....but....ya'll come back now...ya hear! Living in the country DOES rub off on a girl! :)
