Coffee pot


One day my Mom and I were in an old house where a friend of hers used to live, now long abandoned. We found an old coffee pot inside, and my Mom gave it to me to paint. So, of course, I knew I would make it a gift for her. After some thinking, I decided I would put a pink rose on it. And then it just happened that the September "Different Strokes" project in the acrylic section at wetcanvas.com was a picture of a pink rose. It was just what I needed and I painted the pot and gave it to my Mom to thank her for all the help she has given me this year.

Also, the voting was done for the Dragon Project at wetcanvas, and my spiral dragon won for most unusual.

Long time, no post




Finally, an update. I was very busy with packing, then painting, then moving, then trying to settle in. This house is supposed to be bigger than the last, but I'm having a hard time finding a place for everything.

I have done a little painting since moving in. I did two 8x10s, but they will be part of a series and I will post them when it is all done. But I had to put that aside for now.

I also did some digital work last week for a bookmark project being held by the Manitoba Arts council, where you submit 3 bookmarks, then each artist will receive one back from another artist, and the other two will tour libraries and then be sold to raise funds for the arts in Manitoba.
