Special 45th Birthday

Hi Friends, I had a wondeful birthday this year. My birthday was on a Friday and our long Thanskgiving weekend.  I had a nice week in Montreal and then a wonderful dinner out with my husband at the new StoneRiver Retaurant here in Cumberland.  Beautiful old Mansion along the water that has been transformed into a restaurant.  The owner is of German descent and her fiancee is wonderful Chef.  For the whole month of October they are celebrating Octoberfest and they have wonderful menu and live music everyweekend by the wonderful Diamonds.

Here are few pics from my birthday week and Thanksgiving:

My Talented Boo

Here are some of my Boo's art work she completed in her pre-school. She is not even 3 1/2.  I think she has talent. I love this pic and how proud she is of her pieces! 

And here is here is my Bee (The Boo's sister) who is 9 months old.  She has the sweetest face and most lively eyes!  She also loves to look at my colourful paintings.

Fresh off My Easel "The Tea Party"

Hi everyone, Hope you all had a nice weekend and good start to your week.  I finished my tea party painting.   This painting was done for my sweet niece Morgan which I will personalize with her name. This generic one can be tailored to add different children's names and words to the banner. e.g Happy Birthday, You're Invited, Let's Celebrate. Cards of this painting will soon available at the various on line card stores. Fine Art Prints will also be availabe very soon.

New Painting Sketch Idea "Tea Party"

Hello Everyone, Well its been some time since my last post.  Sorry for the delay, but I was away and then Christmas was here and well, you all know how that is...lol.  Firstly, I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year and the very best for 2012.   I finally was back in my studio working on a new painting idea for my little niece Morgan who was born two months ago.  I painted a painting for my little Niece Margaux last year so now its time to paint one for Morgan.  This painting is the same thing theme with the little white kitty and other furry friends, but insteas of a little ballet part it's a tea party. 

Here is my rough sketch the painting I will be starting.  I will paint on gallery wrapped 40 x 50 cm canvas.  I am looking forward to working on this one.  It's a also a nice break in between my intense Cinque Terre paintings.
