WIP & a little Spring Decor

Happy Monday!  We're on spring break now & I had to stop & think what day it was.  It feels like Sunday.  Anyway, I don't have a new painting to show you yet (maybe tomorrow) but I thought I'd post the sketch I did last night.  It's not a good photo (my hubs went out of town & took the good camera) but you get the idea.  Also threw in a few shots of just a bit of my Easter/Spring decor which Zoolou of course had to get in on.  I just love the green & white birdy plate I found at Pier One! 

My daughter & I are going to go see "Lord of the Dance" tonight!  Can't wait!  We've both taken several years of Irish Dance but got busy & have been taking a break from it for about a year now.  I know after tonight we're gonna get that urge to reel & jig again!

Have a wonderful week!

Irish Dancer ~ another painting goal made!

Now available on EBAY!

And my 2nd painting is finito! I just may make my goals for this week yet! Colleen, the Irish dancer, is ready to begin her lead round but her cat Seamus is having too much fun with her ghillies shoe strings. "Irish Dancer" is up for grabs on Ebay right HERE! I wish I had a professional photographer to photograph my artwork for me. I can never seem to get a good picture with the perfect light - ugh!

Another goal of mine this week was to design a business card but I'm putting that on hold for now. I signed up for a workshop on selling online & it covers business cards so I'm going to wait & do that when the assignment comes. Instead I think I'm going to FINALLY join the Facebook world! My daughters & several friends & family members, not to mention tons of you wonderful bloggers & artists, have one so I figured I'd bite the bullet & climb on board. My page will be mostly art oriented but I'm looking forward to getting in touch with some old high school friends & seeing what all my out of town family is up to.

We have a bright SUNNY day outside today - hooray! It's amazing how a little sun can lift your mood & give you energy. It's also amazing how much dog poop accumulates in the backyard when you haven't scooped all those snowy winter months - yuck! That's a job to look forward to later. Happy Thursday everyone!

St. Paddy's Painting

Available now on EBAY!

Well, 1 down ... 1 to go! I finished this St. Patrick's Day painting yesterday. It'll be up for grabs on Ebay later today. I just felt like doing something simple & lighthearted so I went with a ginger tabby with Irish red locks of course & shamrocks. Cats love to sleep in potted plants don't they?

This will be a short post as I have a million things to do today but I hope to finish another St. Paddy's painting tonight. It's going to be an Irish Dancer! Lace up those ghillies! My daughter & I took Irish dance for several years but got busy & haven't danced in about a year. I hope we can get back into it soon! Happy hump day to ya!
