Humpty Dumpty's PFATT Marketplace Debut Today... oh and the chicken as well...

On Humpty Dumpty I did some research, and it seems that no one really knows just how old he is! So I've decided to have a party for him as he is waaaay past due. He truly is excited as you can see, and hopes that you will throw him a party as well. Don't let the party start without him!

As for the little red hen up there, she comes with a hand painted barn wood frame and is ready to hang. For more information on both of these pieces stop by the PFATT MARKETPLACE this morning at 11AM mountain time.

Dreaming of Chickens

The Stansbury Art and Literary Society challenged us to come up with a poem and then a painting or some way to illustrate our poem. So I've been dreaming of crocus and chickens and dragonflies, trying to decide my topic. Here she is, what I've settle on. Not sure I'm completely finished, but she's pretty much there. Now to find a frame and get her ready for her debut tomorrow night.

Whew! Catching Up On Santa Business!

 First off I would like to say I love Apple care! They figured out the issue with my slower than a snail internet and it's humming like I've never seen it. The poor Verizon fellas got a good work out as we tried various ways to get me on line, but it all had to do with a couple of folders on my new mac that really weren't necessary and mucked up things.

 So I'm a happy camper as I'm back on line and can share my new creations, as well as say hi.

The top two Santa pieces are in my MothersDreamRtworks etsy shop,  and the bottom fella is on EBAY
I hope you are ready for the holidays, and all is well.

Sunflowers In Autumn

 I can't believe I didn't take a photo of the last sunflower commission I created, but this time I made sure I got some pictures. This piece was commissioned because of the last one. It's already hanging in it's new home.

I love the vibrant colors, and wish I had been able to get better photos. I took these at the Tooele Chamber of Commerce office where two of my pieces are now hanging. The new owner of this painting and I met there as we are members of the Stansbury Art & Literary Society and the Chamber is letting us display our art there. It's a great opportunity! So this is my Monday share. I am hoping to be on here more often, but as soon as I commit to that life always runs away with my time. I hope you have a good week!

Primitive Victorian Driftwood Santa #2 2013 A Long Awaited Finishing

He has waited for a couple of years to be finished. Sometimes, it's a matter of patience.

Primitive Victorian Driftwood Santa #1 2013

I've had this piece of driftwood from Alaska for years. I had originally hand painted him with simple details, but he was whispering in his good Father Christmas voice that he wanted a bit more. So I got out the clay and added features, along with a homespun sash and wreath. You can find him on ebay now. Mother's Dream Artworks

Blue Or Brown, What color are Santa's eyes? A Victorian Santa...

When I sit down to create a Santa I run into what color to paint his eyes sometimes. So I ask, what color are Santa's eyes? Does it really matter?
I painted Santa's eyes blue this time, but who knows, the next one may have brown....

Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Who's got the Pumpkin?

My etsy shop has two as a matter of fact. Created on gourds, these fun guys, are ready to help you celebrate Halloween. See them at MothersDreamRtworks

Owl Be Seeing You.......

 No pun intended..... well, okay, maybe just a little. A fun and funky abstract owl, I think I will take this one to school and share with my students.

Perhaps it will inspire them to try new things. Some are amazingly artistic already, and others have untapped potential. It's fun getting to know their styles.

PFATT Marketplace Offerings for August

SOLD!

 Northwood Pines Santa

Pumpkin, Pear, Moon Folk Art Painting

So here I am four days after the new month launch trying to get things sorted out. Not only am I waaaay behind on posting this, it appears that I boo booed and sent the wrong link or didn't get the link changed when I created my page for this month. So what you see is Marcus Moon, which is on his way to his new home, an oil can JOL, that really should be the painting above, and the Santa. These are my three offerings on the PFATT Marketplace this month, and we are working on changing the painting photo. If you are interested in the painting let me know.

Whew, all this running around trying to take care of two homes 600 miles apart, church responsibilities, family and art makes for a whirlwind life, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

If you are interested in the two pieces left that you see above, stop by PFATT Marketplace

July PFAtt Marketplace Offerings

When friends dropped by unexpectedly, I dropped the ball on getting these posted here. So, here are my July offerings on PFATT Marketplace. I'm off to get some art pieces done for a gallery I show my work in. Things are starting to move so I need to get ahead of the game. Have a wonderful week!

Tiny Timothy Owl

I've been remiss in sharing my latest ebay listing as I just pulled a mountain of weeds trying to get our little Oregon home back up to snuff. It's hard being away and not being able to keep things at bay. Luckily for us our neighbors are understanding.
Last week the Stansbury Art and Literary Society had a challenge for our monthly meeting entitled "Nocturnal". What could be more natural than a night scene with a tiny owl created using various vintage items for the design texture. What fun I had with my buttons and such! Tiny Timothy is on ebay now so head on over to see more about him!

Gourdelina Is a Good Gourd Witch

The gourdeous Gourdelina has made her debut on ebay this week. She's a tall one at 16 inches. See more about her here: EBAY
