Festive Tree.... It's not too early. Here at Art on Union this weekend

 

 

My friend, Mike, is the designer for this great tree. The pics are shots from his workshop next door. He will be here at Art on Union with a sample taking orders for the holidays. All of the trees are made in Maine, sit beautifully on a table, and are collapsible... great for storing and re-using. I hear they are going to start a line of ornaments. VERY excited for them.... www.festivetree.com

Slice of cake, a blueberry, or a tiny sofa anyone?

500 tiny paintings.... yes, really. (Not all pictured here, but trust me, the studio is bulging)

May give-away! Drawing is May 8.

On which online page can you find the wooden horse's tail? Send your answer via email or click on my facebook link to the left and comment on the "May give-away" post. All correct answers will go in the hat. The winner of a lovely pack of cards will be picked on May 8th! Good luck!

Loving lavender

More in the series with Kayaks.... really loving how the lavender works as water. On a different note, I have had to shift gears a little with my "thank-you-for-coming gift" for next weekend's Art on Union. Sadly my little arugula plants have remained the same size for almost two weeks! I will still have them available for those of you with greener thumbs than me, but I will also have alternatives for for the first 50 guests.... my favorites... the orange day lilies. See you May 10 & 11.

Kayakers on the river. Rose Bryant Original

The sun is going down on the studio.... but the paint brushes are still moving. This new painting, "Kayakers on the River" will be at Art on Union. Thank you Lianne for the inspiration! I couldn't get a grip on the direction for color for this one (see post on 4-11 for the "before"). It went through MANY changes to say the least... and then my artist friend Lianne directed me to some color solutions and now I think I have it... for now, anyway :-).
