New Item!

Hi All!! I wanted to share a piece that I just completed over the weekend. A friend of mine sent me a wooden tray, and said she knew I would find something perfect to paint on it. Well after staring at it forever I chose this design by Terrye French. I wanted the piece to look very aged, so I painted it an antique white, and then aged and distressed it. The background had to look just as old so I spent quite some time getting it just the way I wanted it, and it looks to have been around grandma's house for a good long while.......I am pleased.

My goal this holiday season is to paint a new piece everyday, and I have been working  hard to achieve that goal. In between orders, and everyday life it proves to be quite the challenge on some days. I have so many ideas floating around in my head, I just hope I get the opportunity to share some more of them with you soon. Have a Wonderful Tuesday and as always.......God Bless.

  7. You paint so beautifully! I can't believe you're going to do a piece per day. That's a lot of work. I don't know how you do it.
