My Garden Flowers

Below are a few photos from my garden...I always love when my garden is

in full bloom....it starts out looking so sparse in May...

But in my area of the country, by the time my garden starts looking like this -

we are almost out of summer....

School starts next week,

its dark by 8:30 now.

Fall is in the air and in my studio...

I have been gathering up some supplies -orange glitter paint, pumpkin shapes and pretty sheer ribbon and decorative paper.

..harvest angels and folk art sheep, scarecrows and more...all are in the making.

Starting next week I will begin listing new fall decorator trees....."Christmas" trees from table top size to up to 4 feet tall - decked out in pretty lights and harvest decor (a few items hand painted by me!) Halloween decorated trees and

Christmas and Winter decorated trees to follow....

In the meantime be sure to watch the store -I am adding new fall items as I get the chance...

Shelley B Painted Canvas

This is an 11 x 14 painting I have finished

on artist Canvas

A white prim country house on a blue checkerboard background

with autumn leaves falling from the trees

see how the edges of the canvas are staple free and painted-

ready to display with or without a frame

This painting has lots of little details in the quilt, leaves,

door wreath and potted plants on the front porch

Watch for new paintings....coming soon.....

birdcage display

Love Birds in a bird cage

I made this little display for my patio.....

the metal bird cage has a crackled finish in blue and green.

When the weather turns cold and I put away my patio furniture and bring in all my decorations....I might paint it pink. I am thinking about a line

of shabby pink garden items. I have a few seconds from the store that I could paint to start with........

for now I am painting cute little snowmen faces on wood mittens ~a familiar favorite from my past painting days that is

getting me back into the painting groove!
