Garden Fairy after refurbishing |
In other news this week I have some new designs over at Zazzle, just click the Zazzle panel on the right to go there. I've become a Dick Blick affiliate so if you need good deals on art supplies you can click that link. In the meantime remember the pet portrait of the two yellow labs? Well apparently the owner has been showing it off to all and sundry and I've now been commissioned to paint another yellow lab from his neighbor! Woot! Things are rolling my way! I do have to make a run to the valley tho, because I don't have the size canvas he wants and I don't have time to wait for an order to ship UPS. So probably tomorrow evening I'll run down and pick up just one, then make an order for more. Getting low on a few other things anyway.
And Happy Paint Party Friday! I might not get around to everyone this week, I think there were more than 60 last week, but I do try to go look at everyone's.
Congratulations on your new commission and love the fairy refurbishment. Happy PPF, Annette x

ReplyDeleteCute fairy and great news about the commission.
ReplyDeleteThe fairy turned out great. She even looks happier with her shimmery new clothes.
ReplyDeletethanks everyone! Now that the fairy is spruced up suppose I will have to work on the garden! But work calls and then I need to drive about 50 miles to the art supply store to pick up the canvas for the commission. Which is ok, will swing by and visit the grand kids. Just means I might not visit too much PPF until tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteNice job! She turned out beautiful! :) I Like the idea of refurbising things.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference Mary! And a great idea! Nice colour choices.

I don't know if you've ever seen pictures of the garden gnome I travel with on my blog, but when I bought him he was chipped and sad... I fixed him up (and even painted him some Converse sneakers)!

ReplyDeleteMy what a difference a coat of paint makes. You have inspired me to go grab my garden frog and give it a go as he is quite faded.

I've been considering doing the same thing with my garden ornaments. I love how she turned out!
