Win a Santa?

It's a cold a dreary day here in Saskatchewan. We had record rainfall yesterday and some places have some flooding (again). Not the nicest of springs. So what better way to lift spirits than to tell you about a "Santa" give away by a blogging friend of mine. Details are at her blog "Santa and the Mrs" and the draw will be Jul 24th. It's a contest, so there are some rules to follow. She makes the most divine Santas .... Good Luck :)

Shadows

A blogger friend of mine takes photographs for her blog and calls them "weekend shadows" This is how my bedside table looked last night, so I thought I would try my hand at photographing the shadow. This is the result. :)

Tall ship, storm, Guardian Angel ACEO

"Guardian Angel" 2.5" x 3.5" acrylic

Trying to get more painting done now that we have moved into the new house. I'm still unpacking, but did get one painting done today. I can't imagine anything scarier than a tropical storm in one of those old Tall Ships. Back in the day I'm sure they counted on their guardian angel to watch over them.

Listed on Ebay here.....All my Listing will have reduced starting bids for the month of June.
