Merida, Mexico Cathedral fine art painting "draws" rave reviews

Ta Da!  It's always a pleasure to get some critiques and comments on a new completed painting. It's time to let go and let it be finished. The black canvas format is what made Merida, Mexico Cathedral, stand out among the other paintings of mine on display. It is a bittersweet farewell to this painting as it hangs in the Mellwood Arts Center Gallery with my current exhibit, "Seasons ," which has been extended through February. If you haven't got out to see it, stop by the Mellwood Arts Center Bridge Gallery, Louisville, Ky. Merida is available for purchase at https://scrapboarding.etsy.com

Vintage fine art "Blessed Christmas" greeting cards kick off holiday season

The 2013 Christmas season has inspired me to create new greeting card designs, canvas with "silver and gold" decorations - as Burl Ives would say - and glitter cardstock 3-D tabletop festive Christmas trees. They have been a joy to create as I hunkered down with gold and silver, trinkets and ribbon in my studio and craft room.

These photos are the initial makings of the "Blessed Christmas" vintage holiday greeting card design. Greeting cards and festive canvas scrapboards make wonderful keepsakes for friends, family and associates.

The fine art greeting cards are available in customized script or embellishment at
