Marbles 2.5" x 3.5" coloured pencil

It's been awhile since I played around with coloured pencil.  I love the depth you can get with them.  I might start using them again.

Sky Dance 2.5" x 3.5" acrylic

With the long winter we've been having, I have been thinking more and more about spring and summer.  I love watching storms roll up on the lake......as long as they don't get too close or too wild!!!

Sky Tower 2.5" x 3.5" acylic

We are having one of the snowiest blusteriest  coldest, annoying winters on record here in Saskatchewan.  It seems like we've been getting at least one winter storm a week.  The snow is piled high and I for one am looking forward to spring!  On the plus side, the cold days leave plenty of time for painting.  Here is my renditon of the Northern Lights on a clear cold winter's night.

As always listed on eBay here

Where to start.  I vowed this year, I would try to keep up my blog posts.....hmmm so far that's not working out so well.  I have been busy with art stuff though.......

We started a sub group on facebook (over 200 members in one month)  to enhance the parent aceo group on eBay.  Lots and lots of chatting has been going on there....and lots of information on projects that we are doing over at the big group. I'm a moderator of the big eBay group.  We are the oldest aceo group on eBay with over 5000 members and the owner of the group is Bone Diva who started the ACEO movement back in the day.... To join us on facebook, here is a link:

ACEO ~ Art Card Editions and Originals on Ebay

Also, I started my own art group on Facebook, it's for all mediums, all sizes except aceo (there are enough groups for them)  We are a loud boisterous group who share ideas, network, and art!  No topic is taboo.....(except aceo LOL)  Artists and collectors alike are welcome here....We also from time to time list calls for art etc. and anything "free" like online classes that we think may be of interest.

ACEO...my cat Lucy

"I Love Lucy" 3.5" x 2.5" acrylic

     My first painting of 2013 and who better to paint but my orange tabby Lucy.  She's a sweet thing...She just finished biting the heck out of my arm because she wanted me to pet her and I was busy trying to list this on eBay.  For the most part she's sweet...just as long as we know she is queen of our house.  You will find this little painting listed here on eBay.

A new beginning.  2013 is now upon us and with that, I am going to try and keep one new year's resolution. Keep up my blog!!!!!  To that end..I found out yesterday that a piece I had done some time ago, was chosen as EBSQart's "Art of the Day"  Theme:  A New Beginning

EBSQart art of the day:  Just click here to be taken to the page

Cute little bug guards to keep wasps and other nasties out of your drinks in the summer.  (doesn't look like summer out there does it LOL)  I've been working on these, but didn't realize how time consuming they would be with the chain hand sewn on each one.

Really excited that 3 of my paintings are on display in the gallery at the Cultural Center here until January.

Deck the Halls...........Christmas scenes

     I have been semi-busy painting, but this time on Christmas balls.  Each one has a different scene painted on it and then german glitter glass sprinkled on.  

Laundry Day for Fairies    2.5" x 3.5" acrylic

     A whimsical look at Fairies.  Even fairies have to do their laundry from time to time.  Here they have hung out their freshly laundered wings to dry!  You can find this painting listed on Ebay here
