More Special Orders!

Just had to sit down to take a little break from painting-whew! I've got about 20 special orders in progress so I'll be working quite a lot in these next coming weeks.

I went to a great party yesterday and as I walked up to the front door, this sign was sitting in the front window welcoming everyone. How great!

I continue to be so grateful to be able to paint for so many old friends, new friends and people I've never even met. I love this little adventure and hope to paint for a long time to come!

Ashland Strawberry Faire!

I'm back in the studio getting reading for the Ashland Strawberry Faire and catching up on lots of special orders-thanks you guys!

This year, the faire is on June 6, right in the heart of Ashland on the campus of Randolph-Macon College. Hopefully, the weather will be nice and cool for lots of art, strawberries, plants and people watching.

Also, I'm working on a new idea-Sunnygirl Stackables. Come by and see for yourself!

Great Show!

It was a really great show this past Saturday at William Fox Elementary School in the fan in Richmond. The Cashmere Jungle Lords played, the weather was a little humid but not rainy (thank goodness) and the crowd was perfect.

While a little worried about the economy, I was so excited to take many special orders this time. It was a relief as I didn't take as many signs to the show as I had hoped and ended up borrowing some from friends to have on display.

Thanks to all who attended the show and hope to see you at the next one! Ashland Strawberry Faire is on Saturday, June 6 on the campus of Randolph-Macon College-see you there!

Special Orders

I love painting custom orders-my customers share such great ideas and working on such diverse names

is always interesting!

There are so many words to paint; the possibilities are just endless!

I've painted names of course, favorite sayings, pet names, house numbers in words, words for kitchens (eat), bathrooms (flush), bedrooms (sleep well), hallways, river houses-wow, so many!

So, what word can you think of? Or for that matter, words? Send me your ideas and I'll be happy to paint for you-anytime!

Many thanks! I'm off to the studio...

Time to Paint!

Ahhh, Spring Break is here and it's time to paint! Things at my 9 to 5 have been unusually busy this year and painting time has been really tough to find. I find myself with many special orders that have been sitting in my studio, some for much longer than I would like-that's for sure. So, tomorrow, I begin. No plans other than coffee, painting and perhaps a walk or two. I will catch up on all of my special orders as well as start a new bunch of signs for the show in May at Fox School. Very exciting!

If you are one of my very patient and oh so kind special order customers, thank you. Thank you so much for supporting me and waiting for too long. Hang on, they're coming soon!

Oh, and give me a due date! Even if there's not one, please make one up-somehow that helps...
