Seriously fantastic peek into your world of art! :) The pastoral sheep, two girls with the Raven in the Holly tree and the stormy sea next to it...the 3 I like best in one photograph! (1861 too!... especially with the new appreciation I have for Civil War history living just outside Fredericksburg Va.)

Wow! you have some great stuff, art, talent, etc.
I would love to have a studio like that.
Some of the pieces on your walls are beautiful.
I see works like yours and realize how far I have to go.
Very nice.

Thanks Jimbo, truth be told, because I didn't always have a studio, I'm the most comfortable holding the work on my lap & painting in the kitchen LOL. :grin:

Wonderful!

I always admire those with talent to bring life on canvas.

I hope you had a lovely birthday. We partied over at The Party Tree for you.

Yes, that photo really caught my eye, too. Lovely, lovely, paintings, all of them. Just beautiful.

The little vampire girl, though... she just tipped over my gigglebox. :D

Painting on your lap...lol! For me it's at the kitchen counter...can't imagine having a studio of my own. I guess when my kids grow up and move out, I'll have all these empty rooms to fill. 8)

Thank you, Rosie... The little girls were done for an unfinished children's book I had in mind a few years back... I paint more sheep than people, it seems sometimes, and the stormy sea is a painting called RIVERDANCE, which has a little secret:

Thank you very much... I'll finish the 'little vamp' this week, her title is FIRST BLOOD, she's on spec for a book on vampires. The little girl's name is Bailey, and she's been featured on many a Hallmark card by Annette Robidoux. My favorite is one where she appears, this little red-haired darling, with french fries up her nose. Annette says she's a handful. :shock: Right now Bailey can be seen, without the fries & the fangs on one of those overhead banners that greet you in K-MART.
The painting RIVERDANCE is one of my favorites, too:
