face 7 and more flowers

Happy Friday.

I love Fridays….I only work half-days on Fridays so I have the afternoon to play in the studio.


Here is Face #7. I have an old (replica) of a Sears Catalog from the early 1900s. That’s where the horse image came from. They used to sell some very useful items back in the day. Actually, the horse was not For Sale…just the horse blanket.

I don’t want any confusion there!!


And because it’s Paint Party Friday … here is my weekly flower garden. I’m starting to get quite a collection of flower gardens!


I have one large frame and I keep changing out the images so I can see the gardens while I work. Maybe I ought to invest in additional frames?? Nah … that would be too easy!


First, I’m off to visit some of your sites … at 29 Faces and Paint Party Friday … then I’m off to the studio.

  2. Oh, how I love coming here Sue... Not only are your drawings/paintings fantastic, but your posts are so much fun to read!
    What a great series of ladies you're creating (And, I can totally relate to #4... I am also dreaming of warmer places...)

    p.s. I'm glad furry peace (or at least a temporary truce) has been reached at your house!

  4. Love the face page - but your gardens give everyone a terrific taste of Spring - it's been a bad winter in the northern climes.
