The First Peace Card

The first postcard for the Peace In a Time of War global exchanged arrived the other day. I was so excited to receive it and now you all get to see the first one. Everyday I wonder what will arrive in my mailbox. You have till September to create these and mail them to me but don't wait so long cuz it's so fun to share them with my viewers. Here you go...from Wacky Stuff in Canada.

AS SEEN AT HIGHPOINT...

I finally got on the walls at High Point. These are multiple original paintings in 40x40. I designed them as digital images created from actual plants in my garden. Artists Guild in southern California reproduced the designs as acrylic paintings. Two of these are available on Art.com and hopefully the others will be available soon. More to follow....

Inspiration From a Power Pole

I came up on a photo of a telephone pole so I scanned it in and manipulated it in Photoshop then added the orange background. I liked the image so much that I did it in blue and green as well. I also tried it with Victorian florals that I got from Dover. I really like the play of something as gritty and raw as a power pole with something delicate like florals. Or without flowers too as you can see. They are on etsy at Pear Street Press if you want to order an 8x10.
