Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone .. something new is on the horizon

Hand painted recycled coffee containers, with a slit in the top and a bunch of cut up various colored papers.  Every time something good happens during 2013, write it down, put it in the slot, and on 1/1/14, sit down and read them all.  You'll be amazed at all the great things that happened throughout the year, you forgot about.  We tend to remember the bad more than the good.  Happy New Year everyone!

Cesar Millan came to Vermont

What a fantastic show!  I donated 2 items for the silent auction to help raise money for a few very worthy causes.  One was a sap bucket with tons of dog stuff on it and the other was a set of 4 coasters, dog themed (I have pictures of both on my website).  I am a huge fan of Cesar's and it was an honor to be able to have some of my artwork there to help support his efforts.  

If you're planning to order a Christmas gift .. hurry

Just a friendly note to let you know, it isn't even October yet and I currently have 21 orders to get done between now and Christmas.  I'm only taking 4 more orders (as I have a full-time job to boot) .. so if you're holding back on ordering, please don't.  Thank you all so much for the out pouring of interest in my artwork.  Happy Fall everyone!

Projects I'm currently working on ..

It's been a while since I've written anything in here .. so I thought I'd just pop in and let you know some of the projects I'm currently working on .. I have a mailbox (photos are on here even though it isn't finished) in the works - this is a first ever (it was a special request and the mailbox was dropped of at the house).  I also have a very unique saw that someone has dropped off for me to paint their sugar shack on .. that should be very cool.  I have a canvas painting to do in sepia tones of a house from a very old photo.  I also have 30 slate coasters in progress, each of a different ship (the client works for a cruise ship company).  And then, of course, I have several sap buckets in the works.  I'm certainly staying busy and am enjoying getting to know so many wonderful people out there.  Enjoy the rest of the Summer, and be sure to check back often.  I have new pictures on here all the time.  

Summer is flying by ..

It's almost August already, where has the time gone?  It's certainly not to early to start thinking about your Christmas gifts - be sure to get your orders in early this year.  Coming soon:  Hand Painted mailboxes.  What a unique idea!  Enjoy the rest of your Summer, be safe.
