Bookmarks

Do you remember my series of sort of light-hearted little paintings I did earlier this summer?

I was looking at them a while ago and tried to figure out what to do with them because I like them as a series (and I want to hang on to the originals for now) and suddenly I thought: bookmarks! Aren't they fun?

As you've probably noticed from some of my posts and photos, we LOVE to read and I think one can never have too many bookmarks. (Especially if you are like me and have several books going at once!)

If you want to check them out in my Etsy store, click here. So far, I've only listed four of the series of ten, but I'll be listing the others as well soon...

Happy reading... 

Series Continued - Hope

2.5 x 7 inches, mixed media

Somehow, she turned out to be my very favorite one - and the last for now - of this little series.

Thank you all so much for your well-wishes for Daniel's surgery. All went very well (although I think I was more of a nervous wreck than he was) and he's now back home recuperating. That means physical therapy, keeping his leg up and iced for a bit and having me wait on him hand and foot (or rather knee). ;-)

I am hoping to sort through our photos this weekend and show you some of my faves before our trip seems like a distant memory. It always amazes me how quickly that can happen as life just keeps speeding on. Sometimes I want to hit the pause button so I can catch my breath. Alas, instead I try to go with the flow...

And in that, I hope to float by your blogs and visit this weekend!!

New Series - Joy

This is the first image in a new series I've been working on, which has been quite fun and very meditative to paint. A little cuter than is my "normal" style, but it was really enjoyable for a change.

All images are 2.5 x 7 inches small and painted with mixed media on 140 lb cold-pressed watercolor paper.

I hope you enjoy them!

P.S. Thank you so much for visiting. I am on the road at the moment, so I will answer any questions you may have and visit your blogs whenever I get a chance (make that Internet connection) or after we get back.
