A little look into my world...

 Well, folks....this is it...my space, my room...my area to do, create, paint...sew what ever
I please......A mess...of course it is! Someone once said..." no true artist's space is ever immaculate...a clean space equals an empty creative mind"

 I'm sure some artists have their own lofts...rented space...large workshops....I'm sure it's nice...but for now...this is perfect...my safe haven...it's cozy and corky...full of charm and inspiration all around.
 heres a little sneak peak of a completely new style of paintings I've totally been delving into...
it's a long drawn out process of stencil layering with fun tones and hues...a bohemian-hippie chic style if you will...
 Below: this has absolutely nothing to do with my lil' business LOL...but, it does involve a couple of my most favorite individuals in the whole world..my children..and my Dad!.
 "Papa-pants" gave Mayce and Miss Margo two itty bitty plants that he got at a plant sale a few months ago....I told them they were magic plants and we will just have to wait and see what they become....from itty bitty to completely flourishing with orange and yellow blooms...we now know what is in store for FALL!
 Mayce-man and Miss Margo Adella are stoked to see what becomes of these wee lil pumpkins
in the making...how big will they grow?
 below:...another one of my new styled boho-word art on canvas...this one
is super colorful and fun...has a Spanish tile feel to it...my son's suggested caption
"Peace & Harmony"...it was the perfect phrase...thank's son!

Above" is a completely re-vamped yardsale find...I wish I would have taken pictures of "before"....total 90's oak frame with cow and sunflower pic to display. LOL. Those were the days...ahhh. A new coat of paint, matting...and original handpainted simplistic word art to finish....says it all  .... "Love" is all ya need. Definetly never a shortage in my world...
