Greeting Cards

Hello, strangers!  It has been a busy few months and I've been spreading my wings in many directions.  The most recent, as mentioned in this post's title, is greeting cards!

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by GreetingCardUniverse.com (Target is one of their clients) to create special occasion cards.  I've only submitted a few thus far (I'm honing my Photoshop skills big time and still only know how to utilize a miniscule amount of its power!), but just found out that the above painting/card is today's "Design of the Day."  Wow.

I'll be plodding along with this side business as I rev up my engine for more original paintings in the coming month.  Having my daughter home from school for the summer, however, has created numerous, pleasant distractions.  (Alas, that doesn't pay the bills--it only creates more!)

I'll keep you posted.... (Get it?  Posted?  Tee hee....)  Enjoy your day!

P.S.  The original painting is still available.  Please contact me for further information regarding size, pricing, et. al.  Thanks!

What could be better than a fresh egg, fried in butter?  Two fresh eggs, fried in butter, of course!

Fresh eggs from backyard chickens have spoiled me.  Their color, texture, and flavor are incomparable to store-bought cartons of questionable origin and ethics.  In honor of those hardworking hens, I have immortalized  one of their incredible gifts for my breakfast plate.

Christmas Ornaments

Oil on canvas panel

6x6

Currently available on eBay Auction

 



The tree is finally decorated and a chill is in the Texas air! These vintage ornaments originally adorned my parents' Christmas trees over the years. Many broke and are just memories in photo albums. A few survived, though--including these silver and red balls. They now have places of honor in my home (and are carefully stored after the holiday season!).

Date Night

Oil on Belgian Linen Panel

6x6

Available via eBay Auction

 

This little painting attempts to depict the excitement of a romantic evening with someone special.  A single, perfect red rose deserves a kiss, right?  And how many of us have put on a luscious layer of lipstick, only to realize that blotting it on a tissue might be in everyone's best interest?  (No one wants to have a red clown mouth after that special moment!!!)  So, in anticipation of a memorable night, I present the ageless "Date Night."
