I have finally taken the time to complete my studio logo which I have wanted to have for a while now and so I wanted to show you how it turned out. I have also completed my Certificate Of Authenticity cards and now am able to be putting them on all my artwork as well (including art prints) which I'm so excited about. lol I just stepped up my professionalism another notch and that is a nice

Now that the leaves are turning and the air is becoming cool and crisp I have finally found the time and the quiet (with the kids gone to school) to paint again and I'm loving it. I have so many wonderful ideas that I want to do and am really excited to be able to get the chance to paint them. I just completed two more ACEOs this week and want to share them here for any of you who may be

I have finally completed my first work for 2011 and it feels so good to have it done. lol I really wanted to paint another unicorn since last Fall to add to my unicorn series and I have finally finished it today. It's currently on eBay for anyone who may be interested in it. ;)This piece is title "Galaxy" being I wasn't sure what to do with the mane and tail until the idea of making them

Okay, I know it's been quite a while since I have posted anything new on my blog and I feel terrible about it. Life gets one so busy that you forget all the things you were doing. lol So I will post pictures of most of my pieces since my last post...which aren't too many really. And I will post the picture of this window I had been giving a sneak peak of for so long. lolSo here's the completed

Okay, I know I've mentioned in my auctions on eBay that there is a new window coming up and so I am giving you a tiny sneak peek into my studio to glimpse it quick. ;) I know the picture quality isn't the very best but remember this is just a sneak peek. I will be taking plenty of good pictures when this 43 1/2" tall window is done. I also have plans for another one just as soon as this one is

I know I am a bit guilty of not posting in a while...but I'm still here. lol And I've been painting too. I decided to try a new style of art recently...folk art. And boy am I truly enjoying it.I do notice I tend to put a bit of fantasy in most my pieces though as that is my favorite all time style. I can't seem to help it really but I guess that makes my paintings more unique to others who also

Well, finally it's Spring and I'm loving the fact I can go back outside without freezing half to death and wading through knee to hip deep snow. I LOVE Spring. It's so very much my favorite time of year when everything renews itself and the birds are singing again and we can start to wear a little less weight in clothing. lol I like Spring best because it's not too hot like summer can get and the

Okay, okay. I am guilty of not writing here for a while. Sowy! I have been busy and at times would forget to stop by and drop in here. lol have been doing more painting and haven't really been keeping up with the posts though.Nothing much has really changed around here except my husband just barely missed the cut off for lay-offs at his work so we are making some changes to the spending around

Well, I have finished my best painting yet. It's a 11" x 14" acrylic on canvas that has taken several days to complete. It is titled " Siberian's Sunset Serenade". It is spoken for at the moment but I will be offering prints as soon as I can get better photos of it.For my next piece I think I will be painting a black cat vintage window again. Right now much money is needed for an annual family

Alright here is the picture of my finished abstract. I really enjoyed painting it. Painting abstract is like nothing else. You feel free to do whatever. :o) I hope you like it.

Yes, I won second place in the ACEO YBA Contest. I am so excited. This was my first contest and I was so nervous because of all the great art that was entered. I really can not believe I got second. I thought for sure I was going to place at the highest 3rd or 4th. So I was happy...still am. YEAH!! lolAnyway, I just completed another piece today. It's a 16" x 20" acrylic on canvas. I can't take

~ I know I haven't been keeping up on this blog. But I promise I will try harder know. lol The summer usually has me so busy that I can't find the time to do everything I need to do. This post I will show off some of my last pieces I missed posting when they were actually finished. Sowy sniff, sniffI have a possible commission coming up next for me and after that...not sure yet. I entered a piece

Right now I am staying at my mom's house with the kids for a while. Being there's not a lot to do out here I have time to get some art done and that's exactly what I've been doing. I will be loading a bunch of different ACEO pieces I have been working on in a couple of days...probably Thursday night or Friday afternoon.To give you the sneak peak as to what is coming up I have a couple of ravens,

I know I haven't posted all my work or just what's been going on in my life lately. But it's been pretty busy especially with a very unexpected death in the family on June 29th. We lost a 3 year old little boy in a pool accident. Anyway, I am posting my last 2 completed and will have to catch up with the others I have missed. I just wanted to let you know I am still here. :o) TTFN!

I know I haven't posted for a while but I have been pretty busy. And now I will be even busier for a little while as our families' event, Olde World Renaissance Faire, is this coming weekend. So it will be some time before I can post here and even list anything new on eBay as I won't be picking up the paint brush for a while.I wish all of you out there could come and see this really neat event.

Actually, I have completed a few pieces since I posted last. This one though is the biggest in a while. A whopping 16" x 20" canvas acrylic available on eBay currently. I finally got my gardens all cleaned out and they are fed as well. So I am good until next year. It was about 3 days of pretty tough work but it's finished. Yeah! Now I have a ton of planting and transplanting to do. But that's

I got another ACEO done today. I am so inspired by fantasy art and always have been even as a child that I just love to paint it. With fantasy there are no rules. You are just painting a dream-like world...your dream-like world. Perhaps a small glimpse of heaven or what one might imagine it to be like.I will be doing a few more coming up here. Perhaps in other colors. I think the green is pretty

Hey, a big "Happy Mother's Day" to all you mom's out there today. :o)I stayed out here at my mom's over the weekend with the kids like I do sometimes. So we blessed her with a house full. Plus, yesterday we had another open meeting for our Renaissance Faire we put on so it was busy between doing that yesterday and running all over for Mother's Day today.For Mother's Day today we went up north to

Okay, so I was able to finish this ACEO today which I am happy about and it's now on eBay. I sort of was looking for it to look a certain way and it didn't really seem to go that direction. But I am pretty pleased as to how it turned out anyway.It's titled "stained". Get it? :o)I actually wanted to do the raven first as a study for the next one I want to try which is an angel. I wanted to learn

I just wanted to post that I've now found the direction I am going with the next few projects. Let's just say there will be lots of colors and one would find it in a church window ;o).Yes, stained glass! But not actual stained glass. Just acrylic paintings of stained glass images.First up is a crow ACEO and to follow is an angel (not sure what size). I'm not sure if there will more to follow that

I finally have the window completed. Took a little time and thought as I have not painted a window for some time now but I am pretty pleased with how it turned out. I have it listed on eBay at the moment under "thesilvergardens". Hope you all like it.I am thinking the next window to hit the easel will be an all black or mostly black window with a moon. I'm not sure if I want it to be a black cat

Like I said in my last post that I will be doing a window...and so I am. I wanted to give a little sneak peek of what is coming and let you know that this is what is currently on my easel (even thought I don't own one...yet ;o) ).I know the picture isn't really great because we'll be saving that for the finished showing. I just wanted to give you a little peak and now I must close my studio door

Hello and Welcome, Come on in!I thought I'd create a blog to share a bit about myself and my work so that any of you lovely folks out there can stop by and see how things are going and what's coming out new for artwork.New right now is I am finally able to make prints of my past works. I have a couple available now and will be constantly offering new prints as often as possible when the images
