"The Showers of Spring" & some winners!

We are all craving a little spring, aren't we? I walk out my door and smell oranges and lemons on the trees, hear little birds chirping and I take a deep breath. This woman is enjoying the showers of fruits and blooms that the spring promises to bring us each year. In the right spot I look up to the sky and this is what I see...the color of happiness.
There are so many layers of paint on this one this painting feels like it weighs five pounds.
"The Showers of Spring" is painted on a 16 X 20 canvas and will be available on ebay tonight!
You probably noticed I changed my header area to this painting...I think she turned out so sweet so I wanted to show you the whole thing. Her animals hold her heartstrings.....hmmm....wonder where this idea came from?!
And, to all you sweet readers who entered my give away...THANK YOU!!!
You all inspire me each and every day!
But, there has to be winners so....
First, the vintage pillow/postcard goes to:
Tina from The Artful Life
& the painting goes to:
Yasmin from Mundomundaca
Ladies, please email me with your addresses @
Have a great week!

  8. Oh man, these new paintings are so beautiful! I love the bird with the heart string! It reminds me of my daughter who is probably the only college student who keeps a bird feeder in the solitary tree outside her campus apartment and keeps them well fed. I think watching birds brings peace to her stressful senior year! I am so envious that you have lemons!! What fun!!
