Titmouse with Holly and Berries Cigar Box

This reminds me of an old mans cigar box.  The base is stained with maple with a burgundy trim.  Then the bird and holly with berries was added for a vintage touch.  All it needs now is the varnish to preserve it.

More painting Projects!

Check out this little bird!

Everything is coming up ROSES!

This past weekend I painted this rose.  Maybe one day I will frame it.

Getting ready for Christmas!

This is a clothespin that I painted to hold my Christmas cards.  One side of the clothespin is for birthdays too.  It's 12 inches long or tall.  Because you can lay it down or stand it up.  How neat is that?

Today is the happiest day of my life!!!

First, the Lord Jesus Christ has allowed me to live another year on His earth.
Second, I won first place in the Beginner Oils Decorative Painting at the Georgia Natinal Fair!!!
Can you believe it??????????????

Honey, I'm home!

My husband and I went to Vermont!!!  I still can hardly believe we went!  Everything was so beautiful and everybody was so nice!  I would move there in a heartbeat but...I don't think I could handle the cold winters there!
Here's some pictures I thought ya'll might enjoy!

Georgia National Fair 2010!!!

This is the picture I entered at the Georgia National Fair in Perry, GA.  It will be displayed throughout the entire fair at the Miller-Murphy building with all the other paintings.  Some of the painters from my painting classes have also entered their artwork.  It will be nice to see all the other paintings along with mine.
This painting is a one that was taught by Clemmie Allen, president of Georgia Peach Painters.  It is an orignal painting by Sherry C. Nelson.
Hope all of you come out and enjoy the fair!

Vermont here we come!!!

My husband and I have been wanting to go to Vermont for years to see the leaves change and some of those beautiful old covered bridges.  So here we come!  We are leaving tomorrow morning!  I can hardly wait!

Saturday afternoon goofing off!

I was just goofing off and painted this Saturday afternoon.  My inspiration for this painting came from my dear teacher, Sandy McTier. But I could never perfect it like her.

Thank you, Jesus for all you have given me!!! Thank you that our prayers for this room worked out GREAT!!! AMEN!!!

You can tell I still have some straightening to do.  But for the most part it is finished!!!

Closet

My studio is finished!!!!!!!!!!! Praise God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a clock I bought  making it look like a sunflower for my art studio.  The petals are all hand made of clay by me.  My teacher, Sandy McTier had inspired me to make this from one she had made.Another peep at the valance in my art studio.  I got only part of the room done with the valances.  I went rushing back to the store where I bought them about 4 or 5 weeks ago to get 5 more(because they didn't look full enough) but they didn't have anymore.  One of the girls was kind enough to take my number and is suppose to get someone to check at the warehouse for more.  I'm praying til I hear from her!!!!

Boy, Am I tired! Been working on my studio today!

This is the valance that I chose to go to the top of the window.

At last!!! Blinds for the windows!

My latest painting---Swans!
