The Golden Pear IV ~

The Golden Pear IV
8" x 10"
Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
~Sold~

The Golden Pear IV is a new pear painting available for purchase in my online EBSQart.com gallery and in my Etsy.com store.

I am so sorry I have disappeared for so long. This has been a very busy couple of weeks. I have been planning the baby shower for Audrey Grace and Miranda. There is a family wedding in November and that shower is the week before Miranda's~ Congratulations Andrea and Jeremy. I am busy planning a new studio ~ bigger and better ~ for more painting, and then there is that pesky "real job" working for the hospital.

I am almost finished with the Ballerina paintings. It has taken longer than I expected, but these are the largest ballerinas I have painted. I will be finished by the weekend.

My online stores are almost empty~~ I have to get busy! I keep hearing Miranda's voice in my head, what she is usually yelling at her dog Sadie "Focus Sadie--Task at hand!"

Well, off to the studio to paint~
Thanks for stopping by,

Sprinkles, New Cupcake Painting!

Sprinkles
8" x 16"
Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
~Sold~

I have finished my "Different Strokes From Different Folks" painting. Sprinkles is available for purchase in my EBSQart.com gallery and in my Etsy.com store.

I am currently working on the two new large ballerina paintings. They are coming along nicely and, hopefully, will be finished soon. They are 16" x 20" acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas.

There are so many paintings I want to get finished, but there is that baby shower coming up and there is so much to do.....speaking of the new grandbaby, Miranda did mention how nice the Sprinkles painting would look in the baby's room. If the painting disappears from the studio, I will know where to look for it!

Well, off to get something accomplished!

The Golden Pear III is a new pear painting available for purchase in my EBSQart.com online gallery and in my Etsy.com store.

This week is flying by and I am trying to get the new large (16" x 20") ballerina paintings finished by the weekend.

I am also in the middle of designing a new studio with lots of cabinets and cubbies (thanks IKEA). I will keep you updated on the progress. It will be nice to have a place for everything and everything in its place......I hate searching for something that I did not put away!

Check back again soon,
