Okay...just one more...

"The circus is coming to town"

Okay....just one more kids painting for my Prairie Hearth delivery.....er.....maybe one more after that....I'm having such a fun time with these...

a weekend of celebrations...

Happy Mother's Day!  ...and Happy Pella, Iowa Tulip Festival!

A sneak peek...

These are just a few of the paintings I've been creating for an upcoming delivery to Prairie Hearth boutique.  As mentioned, I can't stop painting flowers.  Today, I even bought flowers for the yard!

I'm in the process of having greeting cards printed that utilize some of my original artwork.  Let me know your thoughts.  Should I just sell them at boutiques or try selling them on-line via Etsy?  Do I sell them individually or in bundles?  Thanks in advance for your comments!

"Daisy-lion"

This lil' ray of sunshine nearly got painted over.  I started out by painting in the background- a pretty purple, but the brush stokes were terribly noticeable.  Panicked and crabby about it, I quickly rubbed over the entire surface with a clean paper towel to remove as much paint as possible.  Well, today I decided to go back over the background with a blue and things just started to flow from there. 

Tomorrow (hopefully) I will be taking on the task of applying stain to 12 of my folkart paintings.  Once done, I'll start posting photos of those as well!

More whimsical kid paintings for Prairie Hearth boutique...

A little kids decor...

There are 12 paintings nearly complete in my studio.  All of which are in my folkart style and happen to have flowers for the subject matter.  I think I have spring fever! 

While sketching, I decided to put aside 4 canvases to try some new whimsical kid art.  I just had to share this first one.  The others will be done soon. 

Stay tuned for more images- - of both my folkart pieces and whimsical kid art.
