I am super excited that there is a Fine Art show this year. I have really missed doing paintings that I would consider a little more "fine art" and a little less boutique. I will never give up the folk art style. I am just enjoying coming up with paintings that satisfy both. Here is one that I will be showing this week.</div><br /><div align="center"></div>Ann's ARThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02791188439081899075noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3044851390177062024.post-71729579493114291042010-04-09T08:16:00.000-07:002010-04-09T08:57:41.135-07:00Cooper<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqZXZ-huVTuKHKcGMZe7OxqzCP7QmjDw8mx0Ov1aVQxbPTUmHHZdGIp3flC2qDNnD2J0e9nXgevWU2UeN-q7z8RuHsOmLV3PXMJ2tDlKxr4KemnHBhBdpHp2TI1Fabh1m3zjMzB4zwldjZ/s1600/boondoonpainting1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 238px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458167382412226226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqZXZ-huVTuKHKcGMZe7OxqzCP7QmjDw8mx0Ov1aVQxbPTUmHHZdGIp3flC2qDNnD2J0e9nXgevWU2UeN-q7z8RuHsOmLV3PXMJ2tDlKxr4KemnHBhBdpHp2TI1Fabh1m3zjMzB4zwldjZ/s400/boondoonpainting1.jpg" /></a>Ann's ARThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02791188439081899075noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3044851390177062024.post-73656221175381419902010-03-04T20:59:00.000-08:002010-03-04T21:11:30.155-08:00Winds<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRd-N2WW4daCHfmu9p-y283i6ZBj7ItZ4RzHll2PxocejEQP-oO3nOs332hfPH65a4p69fXo54m5gJ34KhW0hWPrT3xkKwp2B3iOtpnkhTqJsOsyX8NcmiXi4TV4OgkxbpfyvGaNXrhajY/s1600-h/bird+and+tree.watermark"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 291px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445011940940575042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRd-N2WW4daCHfmu9p-y283i6ZBj7ItZ4RzHll2PxocejEQP-oO3nOs332hfPH65a4p69fXo54m5gJ34KhW0hWPrT3xkKwp2B3iOtpnkhTqJsOsyX8NcmiXi4TV4OgkxbpfyvGaNXrhajY/s400/bird+and+tree.watermark" /></a> I really like doves.

I entered these little cards in <a href="http://www.coolmompicks.com/valentines-design-contest/#idc-cover">THIS</a> contest. It is a contest to design a simple, printable coloring Valentine's Day card for kids. It is difficult to not go totally crazy when designing stuff like this. I just had to think about what kind of pictures my kids select when they get out their box of crayons. All proceeds go to <a href="http://www.childrensheartfoundation.org/">Children's Heart Foundation</a>. I think I will have my 3.5 year old little guy color these construction ones up for his buddies this Valentine's Day. Maybe we will upcycle some crayons to go along with these. <div><div><div><div><span style="font-size:85%;">***Once the contest is over, I will upload big versions for you to download if you'd like to print some for your little kiddies.</span></div><div></div></div></div></div>Ann's ARThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02791188439081899075noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3044851390177062024.post-14094538170236916792010-01-21T18:41:00.000-08:002010-01-21T18:48:11.699-08:00New Design for the VINYL BIZ.<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=38868854"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429389705721682578" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZbzVeBGcD4CcqbP7rQcpWTLpXAnuXNDAhZuupfGkmDFHTSMTnHsr5Y7GDJG-ijLhVGBkY9dQnzLwlyEQIE63p-GIeoCJ0p5HoCEMCJSMdSXd8pHN0sIDaXvVySuC-1QzR3yqUzO4iE8S2/s400/dandelion.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Yesterday I posted a new item to our 2nd little etsy shop: <a href="http://www.decomodwalls.etsy.com/">http://www.decomodwalls.etsy.com/</a></div><br /><div>Our most popular designs are the boyish ones, but every so often I have to design something that is a little more feminine.

And let's face it friends....while trying to juggle the role of being a mother, co-business owner, and whatever else I waste my time one, I don't get around to painting very much. I do, however, do something art related EVERY DAY. So....we're changing the way we look at Ann's blog. It is ann gardner DESIGN dot blogspot dot com.... for heaven's sake. <div><div><br /><div>So, I will give you the latest. While decorating my kiddos rooms, I fell in to a rut. I wanted them each to have some sort of religious reminder/art in their rooms (<a href="http://www.lds.org/">Here's my religion</a>), but I wasn't finding what I wanted. I like MODERN. Very simple, no shabby in my house. Well....tell me if you've seen any of that stuff around town. So, I started designing my own. Here are a couple.

I asked 11 others (all of whom I think are fabulous) to participate in this collaborative project. Each of us 12 chose an image to represent a month of the year. I designed a funky, "Year In View" calendar featuring all 12 of us. </div><div align="center">Here's the little blurb I put on the shop:</div><div align="center">"The idea for this piece came to me one day. I love art. I love to collect other people's art, but year after year, I run out of space and MONEY. Wouldn't it be fun to have a little snippet of art from artists all over the world? Best thing is, I get to have 12 new pieces each year and all in one spot."</div><div align="center">You too...may own these 12 little masterpieces!</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.justusfolks.etsy.com/">SUPER FUN!
