Winds

I really like doves. I like painting them with their necks crooked. I think that is one of the strangest/coolest thing about birds. They can be looking one direction and their head looks like it is on backwards. It's not.

This cute QUILT SHOP!

So, I discoverd this cute fabric shop: LANIE JANE, through the cute girl who commissioned the painting below. Her mother owns it and she helps run it, and........oh......the selection. I am a sucker for limited edition and unique fabrics. Here are my two faves.

Watts Family Portrait

I love painting for Valentines Day!! Here are the 3 Ferre sisters with their hearts and cards.

ART MARKET is this Friday at the Sugar House Garden Center.

Speaking of painting....I painted the ugliest painting today. It was going to be a very serious looking angel, but she ended up looking like a scary medusa. If I am brave, I will post a photo.

Valentine's Day Colorable/Paintable Cards

Need an EASY cheap, fun, creative Valentine's Day project for your kiddos? Here are 3 designs you can print off and project with. At my house, we printed them on a full sheet of cardstock and the kids watercolored them to hang up for Valentines Day. You could print them small and have the kids color them to exchanged at school.

Valentines Day Cards!

So. I entered these little cards in THIS 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 Children's Heart Foundation. 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.

***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.
