Flutterby 3-09

Here's my latest "Flutterby". It is listed, and it's starting at only .99. This is an ACEO.
I loved painting this, and leaving white where it was called for.

Update

I cannot believe I have not posted since March 15! Well, hmmmmm
There are now prints on my site at ebay. http://www.glowing-watercolors-by-cia.com
and I'm selling some of my old art books also. I have read them a million times (well, you know)
so I thought maybe somebody else would love them.

Here's the last two paintings I have there right now. There is a bid on the "Come Hither" one and not much time left.

The other one, and I do not know why there are no bids on this thing, because I think it's one of my best ones, is Confederate Roses.

On another note, I think that I am feeling a lot better finally after my back surgery back in September. More later!

A 5" x 7" Confederate Rose Painting

This is a lot like a tiny one I did but easier to do because it was a little bigger. With my new kolinski and sable brushes, I begin to improve a whole ot.

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!
