In my continuation of signs, this one is dear to me and I personally love the white on black crackle finish with the black writing. Just feels right to me and always…to Know Thyself

Y’all Come Back!
Such a comforting little phrase…”Y’all Come Back”…not only does it remind me of warmth and visiting with family or friends, but also it reminds me of growing up. Being from Tennessee is about as country as a girl can get, so I tapped into my country roots to create this little precious:

Pure
”Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.” ~ John Lubbock, Sr.
Last night I had posted my new daisy painting that I have called “Pure” on my Facebook wall. Immediately a sweet little lady saw it and had to have it as she’s redecorating her bedroom. This is it:
That one, though is ACEO size 2.5×3.5 inches and available in my cozy loft etsy shop…but she wants a larger one in a 16×20, so I’ve started working on that now.
There is something that I can’t describe in words about how I feel when someone wants something I’ve painted. Art is personal to me and these are my thoughts and emotions going into what I do, just as I suppose it is for many artists. So, for someone to cherish my work enough to want to own it, well it’s humbling, wonderful and makes me feel vulnerable at the same time. xoxoxo
Stand Out
I’m fascinated with black. It’s been my favorite color since I was old enough to grow out of my “little girls like pink” stage of life. Maybe because my hair is naturally the blackest black…I’m just not sure my fascination. For whatever reason, however, it remains a color I’m drawn to and intrigued by. It’s mysterious, dark and ominous.
In my newest work, I wanted to accentuate on the heavy use of black and white, yet punch it with a splash of color. This one is similar to the splash of color in my recent “Intent” piece (see my post this week). I chose the dutch iris because it’s a beautiful flower first of all but the meaning of an iris is “faith, hope and wisdom”…can’t we all use more of those things in our lives?
This painting will be listed in my etsy shop in a couple of days, so this is a preview only
Enjoy! xox
