Antique highchair love :)

I was gifted this very old baby's highchair for my birthday from my sweet husband. Love it, just love having it in my kitchen, day-dreamin' of babies coming over who would love to sit there :) New studio photos to come real soon as well as new paintings! All coming together very nicely... preparing for a fall open house in my studio. Love from a very warm Alabama!
Ciao!

Summer sunset in Alabama

Enjoyed a drive out in the country with my sweet husband Geoffrey and this is what the sunset looked like as we drove down this country road. Loved it :)
Have a great weekend everybody!

Take care.

I recently sold my first commissioned painting!

I  recently sold my first commissioned painting! I am thrilled, what a confidence shot in the arm! Feels great, I've gotta say to have someone out there get you, AND get your art. I've got one word, AWESOME! Here's a look at Becky's bunnies! The 2 fairy bunnies are Becky's granddaughters, Riley and Audrey, two cutie pies!!! The painting is hanging over the bed in the girl's room at their Nana's house :) Thank you Becky!

Love, love love to all bunny lovers!

Tuscaloosa tornado category 1 disaster

http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=217778308234398&comments

Please pray for my hometown, Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The April 27th tornado went right beside my home. Our neighborhood lost a lot of big trees, some houses had trees in them, we lost power for several days, but no fatalities in my neighborhood. Right behind us however, lots of people were not spared. Many people are suffering. The devastation to our sweet home Alabama cannot be absorbed yet... please pray for God's mercy and peace for all victims.

sadly,

House of Turquoise

Good day everyone! I have always loved the colors of turquoise stones. The different hues, Indian turquoise is a beautiful bluish shade, desert turquoise is a darker shade and then there are the greenish stones. My color palette for painting consists of turquoise, blues, greens, colors of the ocean, the sky, beautiful swimming pools, the colors of the "Emerald Coast" on the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. In the south, summer = trip to the beach! Only 300 miles to the coast, and boy, it is so worth the trip! Family vacations to the beach, you just can't beat it. I want to show you this blog which I am totally loving, http://www.houseofturquoise.com/   Love, love love it.

Home tour photos - part 1

This week I will be featuring photos of my home and my art studio. Today I want to share the beautiful view through my living room windows. The kitty cat is a rescue that my son brought home after someone left him to die at about 4 weeks old. I bottle fed him, and now he really thinks I am his mom! How cute is that???
Happy weekend to all of you.
Have a great new week this week!

Ciao,

Have a great day friends!

New art work

A new painting for a lovely brown eyed girl I know.

My name painted with my favorite colors!

 

My kids were stopped by this train and Lindsay noticed my name! Awesome! The colors are perfect, 2 of my  favorites, cool huh? I like to daydream about the artist and wonder if it was meant for me :)

Spring in Alabama

Check out this cool prism. Looks like my Ada is receiving her magical powers!

Tell me what you think :)

My Austin and his Lindsay ... adorable inside and out!
Today is day # 1 at a new inpatient rehab for Lindsay - approx. 60 miles away - Lakeshore Rehab.in B'ham, AL. Lindsay will stay for a few weeks, and with continued blessings from God she will gain more and more strength every day shes there.  Please continue to pray for Lindsay's TBI recovery. God has been blessing her each and every day. God is good.

Check out the images below, the first 2 are the photos on my calendar for this month... earlier this month, when I flipped my calendar to March, I was struck by the beauty of Sicily, Italy.  I thought my Etsy banner (see below) this art of the blue waters - art I made up in my imagination, looks a whole lot like this beautiful spot in Sicily, Italy! What a beautiful spot on God's green earth, which I had never seen before March 1, 2011. I created this Etsy banner (the very bottom image below) a couple of years ago... i'm just saying  i saw a resemblance. What do you think?
i like stuff like that ... must be a sign that I will go to Sicily one day, yeah with my whole family - the cutest little Italian family! Marie, we love you and miss you
Enjoy your week! Smile :) God loves you!
