Valentines coloring on a snowy day ❤️❄️. As a kid I loved to stay inside on snowy winter days, drinking hot chocolate, coloring, and doing crafts. As an adult I still love doing that, funny how some things never change lol. If you're looking for some coloring fun for yourself or to keep the kids/grandkids busy, pop on over to my art studio website for downloadable printable coloring pages... bit.ly/shopcoloringpages or https://ift.tt/38e2VNw #valentine #coloring #coloringpages #valentinesday #valentinescoloring #valentines #coloringforadults #coloringsheets #coloringfun #love #hearts #happyvalentinesday #bemyvalentine #coloringbooks #coloringpage

Hanging with the winter hound. He's been eating snow like crazy, (at least it's the fresh stuff). He just loves winter (me, not so much)!! His energy level just explodes when he's outside on a winter's day. This old dog starts jumping around like he's a young pup again. Have to say, if it weren't for him I'd probably stay inside and hold up in my art studio for four months of the year lol. Do you like winter? If not, what would entice you out on a snowy day? https://ift.tt/1UdOdwc #snowdog #dogsinsnow #snowpuppy #snowdogsofinstagram #winterdog #snowpup #winterdog #doginsnow #thegreatoutdogs #winterpup

Today is #SendACardToAFriendDay Do you remember the last time you got a card in the mail? How did it make you feel? Back in the day people sent cards to loved ones all the time . Cards filled with updates and news, or just to let someone know that you were thinking of them. Social media does that now, but gone is the charm and excitement of getting something in the mail that you can physically hold and display in your home. Bring back the tradition by sending your best wishes to someone special written inside a beautiful card that they can display or even frame as a remembrance. Check out the selection of art cards in my studio shop.. http://bit.ly/greetingartcards #artcards #artcardsforsale #SendACard

Winter at the lake here in Port Stanley. Lots of people come to the beach in the summer, but in the off season the moods of the lake are generally only witness by the locals. As an artist I love the ever changing views and expressions of mother nature as seen in this body of water. What place or site do you find yourself constantly taking photos of? I've captured other views that I love in my paintings and art prints. You should pop by my studio and take a look... http://bit.ly/artprintdecor https://ift.tt/1UdOdwc #winterlake #beachinwinter #lakeerie #portstanley

Today kicks off February, as #NationalEmbroideryMonth. I'm not a stitcher myself as every time I try, it turns to a bunch of knots. In a strange twist, a while back I still ended up on the cover of 'Needlepoint Now' or at least my art as a needlepoint did (the insert if my painting the needlepoint is taken from). All thanks to MaggieCo., the company that licenses my art for their hand-painted needlepoint canvases. Are you a needpoint or needlearts creator or fan? If you are what are you doing this month to celebrate? Check out MaggieCo to see 22 of my other paintings as needlepoint canvases for your next project. http://bit.ly/needlepointart #needlepoint #needlework #needlepointart #needlepointnow #stitchingart #embroideryart #embroideryartist #embroideryartwork #needlearts

A work in progress. I'm always so exciting to see how it will come out. I've learned over my years as an artist... the difference between a new hobby artist and an experienced pro artist is in the confidence level when starting a painting. A pro knows that no matter what the journey, the skill is there to make it all work out beautifully in the end. If you've ever thought about how to you could get custom art, check out the custom art page on my website to see how it works. http://bit.ly/getcustomart https://ift.tt/2R3Pzw2 #customart #customartwork #artcommission #commissionart #commissionartwork #workinprogressart

This is how our dog likes to spend most of his day...with brief interruptions to go for walkies 3 times a day. I think this is how he processes all the smells he smelt during the walks. Just laying there thinking about that really great smelling dumpster, or the mystery meat he found on the sidewalk, or the neighbor cat lol. To sleep, per chance to dream.... https://ift.tt/1UdOdwc #dog #hounddog #firedog #beagle #dog #doglife #instadog #dogs_of_instagram #dogslover #dogscorner #dogdays #pet #dogslife #sleepingdog #cozydog #cutedog #dogslife #mydog
