Great Grandmother Again!

My newest grandchild finally was born on January 27! He weighed in at 8 lbs and 13 oz.
His name is Bowen! Here's a picture of the little doll!

Paintings and Babies

Hello all, today I'm going to show you the cover for the DVD on peonies, at least it's a work in progress, I have not decided how it will look yet. And let you know that my granddaughter, Ashley, has said she may go to have her baby today. She is already 1 day overdue.

Here's the cover so far, needs tweaking, don't hesitate to make some suggestions.

If I disappear for a few days, I will be back!

Pretty Peony Final

Here's the final on the Pretty Peony. The DVD is very close to being finished. I may have to wait a while to finish it, my granddaughter is at her due date and dialated 2 cm! That could cause some wait time.

Here it is though.

Latest Photo of my Peony

As of last night, it looked like this.

I've done some more since then, I sat up late last night thinking my granddaughter, Ashley, was going to have her baby last night! So to stay alert, I painted a little more. Will post that photo a little later today. That baby has his own mind! He
went back to sleep and decided it wasn't his birthday yet!

site where one can view some clips of how this was painted. I'm making a DVD

Trying to come back!

Hello everyone, sorry I've not been posting. Seems like life is quite busy for me lately, my granddaughter, her husband and 2 year old have come to stay with me awhile. It was good
for them to be here while I was recovering from my surgery!

I have been painting! Here's some steps of the one I'm working on right now. I have another step done but haven't taken a picture yet.
Let me hear from you, and you can now subscribe to this blog! And I hope that you will! Later!

Out of Pocket

Hello everyone, I had back surgery yesterday. I'm doing well, very sore from the incision,
but the numbness and pain that drove me to that point is gone! I hope forever.

So.... no artwork to report right now.

What's happening!

Lots is going on in my life folks! I'm going to try to post a bunch of it in one post but don't know how much I can put in one post.

Ebay has been good to me. I've sold the following paintings in about one month. These do not include the little ACEOs or the books!
Or my new product, the DVDs!
I will put that in another post.
