If trees could talk

After walking in the woods with a friend and my doggy today, it made me wonder how many interesting conversations those trees must have heard in their lifetimes, if only they could talk eh?

If Trees Could Talk :

The Pirate Party

Did you know that Pirate parties are one of my favourite types of party?

Second only to Zombie parties, which are by far the best parties ever, oh yes indeedy!!! ;o)

You didn't know that already? well now you do.

Here is my little girly all ready for her pirate party, she seems to be dressing for this one slightly gothic lolita too :)

Now available in my etsy shop :)

2 paintings on a dull day

So the sun has disappeared for today and the weather is back to it's usual chilly self, so whats a girl to do eh? er paint ;o)

The kids have been amusing themselves by feeding our neighbours new chickens and hubby was fixing the fence in the garden, so some peace and quiet for me then.

2 small paintings now available in my etsy shop :o)

Molly the mermaid:

Flowers in the sand:

A walk in the park

I went for a lovely long walk this morning with my doggy, we heard woodpeckers and pheasants and saw bunnies hopping about in the fields it was so good to be out there today :)

This painting is a little larger than I normally do, due to a complete mess up with an order I made from my supply company,(all my fault too) it also means it won't fit on my scanner :(

I just hope the piccies I took are ok enough as I still have 10 more canvasboards in this size and 20 even bigger lol, it's forcing me to paint big for a change ;o)

A Walk In The Park:

Sailing on the summer breeze

Well it kinda feels like summer here at the moment, the weather is fantastic and it's making me feel like painting summery 'juicy' colours.

I am loving life right now :O)

Hugs and love

A positive day

Hi guys, after a weekend filled with sunshine and outdoorsy stuff I returned to my little art room on Monday only to learn that I had to fight with some 'inner head gremlins', you know the type you thought you'd banished long ago but they decided to make a revisit for a while until you lock them away again!!?

After some thinking time and some serious amount of writing done too (which i'll tell you all about some other time) my head became clearer and I knew I had to change a few things round (again)

First things first.....No more theme of the week, boy was that a lesson in giving myself a ball and chain on my creativity, it really did suck me dry. I needed to get back to some random spontaneity as my work was becoming too planned and I just did not like that feeling.

Also this summer, after a short holiday away we will be getting a new puppy so I will be taking some time out to train the little cutie, then I'll have to work to a new chaotic schedule until things settle a bit ;o)

So here is the first in my 'back to no theme' painting.

I hope you like her, she is in my Etsy shop now.

Hugs

A Positive Day:

Blossom and Bloom

Well the weather here has been fabulous today and over the weekend, so i'm hoping to see more flowers popping up soon :)

My cherry blossom tree has finally bloomed and new buds are on my other trees too *yay* I love this time of year!!

Here are 2 more flower girlies, now available in my etsy shop

Blossom:

In Bloom:

Flower girls

It's been a while since I last painted any ACEO cards so I thought it was about time to do some more :)

I have just popped these 4 flowery girls in my etsy shop.

Happy weekend

Dream

This is my last 'random' painting for this week.

Next week's 'theme of the week' is 'flowers'

I kinda touched on the flowery thing with my 'spring theme' but I just wanted to stretch this one out further, maybe a bit more summery than the 'spring theme' was.

I have a couple of sketches drawn up to canvas already and i'm sure i'll think of a few more once I get that thinking cap on ;)

I do hope you like this little lady, she is now available in my etsy shop.

Dream:

3 in 1

I was a very busy bee yesterday and finished off 3 paintings, but didn't quite get enough time to blog about them aswell.

2 of these I had had sketched out for a while and the other one (ponder) just appeared on the canvasboard as sometimes they do ;o)

All 3 are now available in my etsy shop, I hope you like them.

Charlotte

I had a lovely day painting today, the sun was shining even though it was cold outside and I spent a wonderful few hours finishing off painting this little lady :o)

She has been drawn up on canvas for a while and I never got around to finishing painting her (silly me)

Anyway, she's done now and she's in my etsy shop, she's all pretty in pink, totally not the colours I originally thought out for her, but I like her much better now :)

Charlotte:

Grow

Hello everyone, thank you for all your wonderful comments on my last painting, you are all lovely :)

This is the last of my 'spring' themed paintings called 'grow' she will be in my etsy shop as soon as I manage to kick my lazy butt in to taking some photos :)

So what's the theme for next week Micki? I hear you ask? well next week is going to be a random week with no theme, you see although I am loving doing the 'theme of the week', I also have a small stack of sketches which I don't really want to make a whole theme out of but still want to paint, so it's a random week :)

I think I am going to continue with my 'theme of the week' for a few weeks at a time then throw in a random week now and then too, as i'm always sketching ideas so I am bound to have this happen again.

Hugs for you all

Have a happy weekend

Topiary

Yes ladies it really is the time of year that we all need to give our bushes a good trim ;o)

Spring is almost here I can feel it in my bones, or is that just the cold blustery wind giving me arthritis? who knows?!! ;o)

This little lady is now available in my etsy shop

Topiary: SOLD

popping in with some aceo's

Hello everyone, I promise i'm not slacking off with the spring theme, I have been busy painting up my last 2 custom orders for this month, I did manage to get these 2 little spring(ish) aceo's done but I promise some actual bigger paintings will follow shortly :)

These 2 are in my etsy shop now ;o)

Theme of the week #4

So I am convinced that spring has to be on it's way even though it's been freezing cold here in my part of the UK.

I can't wait to get out in my garden again and to walk the dog without a hat and gloves on, so the theme of the week this week is SPRING and i'm hoping it will arrive very soon!! :o)

The first painting in this theme is a 6x6 inch chunky canvas of a girl and a flower called 'Cherish the small things' she is available in my etsy shop now ;)

The Zombies are coming..........

It's the last of my post apocalyptic paintings and I saved my favourite until last ;o)

This time it's the time of the zombies.......are you prepared?

It looks like this little lady has it all planned out, she's got her handbag full of zombie fighting kit and it looks like she's already killed a few with all those zombie teeth hanging around her neck ;o)

Just remember folks.......Aim for the Brain!!!!!!!

Survivor:

The last Flower

Only one more post apocalyptic painting to go and then i'm moving on to a new theme :o)

This one is a little less fun, quite a sad one really but hopefully makes up for it in colour, this pic is the scanned version though which doesn't show up the neon pink very well, so click on the piccie to look at it in my etsy shop with the neon goodness showing through :)

The Last Flower:

Toxic Waster

Have you noticed I have a thing for t-shirt slogans? well yes I do indeedy love a good t shirt slogan, I used to wear t-shirts like the one on this girly all the time, infact I even had green hair at one point too ;o)

Love and hugs
