This month is flying by!  Show, online shows, PopUp Markets!  So busy having so much fun.  I hope your holiday season is full of fun, family, and making memories.  There are more paintings to come...but, I have to finish my granddaughter's paintings for her upcoming 15th birthday.  This is a busy birthday month with one daughter and two grandchildren having birthdays.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the art!

The Ardrey Pop Up Market

 




This was the best day!  The weather was perfect.  There were 24 booths of widely ranging items from designer cups, roasted coffee, hand carved sharks to hang on the wall, local honey, hand tooled wooden bowls, cookies, bread, and Christmas items.  

There was a very large crowd for a neighborhood event and everyone was so nice.  I plan on doing it again next year.  

Kathy Collins and I both sold some of our favorites paintings, but none of the butterflies (and I thought they were the best!).  This means all the butterfly paintings are being uploaded to TorrieSmiley.com and my Etsy store

Here are the different butterflies that are available for purchase.  They will all be available at my website






Now, it's time to get ready for Christmas!  There is an Online show with Guild of Charlotte Artists that will have one of my paintings in for sale.  More on that when the site becomes live.  I will also have paintings in a Christmas show in Monroe, NC.  More details on that will follow when the show goes up.

I hope everyone is well and enjoying the fall weather in your area.
