Simply Said Today

The beginning of that magical 5th year .. ..

Priscilla — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 12:50:07 +0000

I always hear this: "Everything takes 5 years to really develop and take off - you have to give something 5 years and at the end of 5 years, if it hasn't taken off, then you need to stand back and re-evaluate it". Well this month marks the beginning of the 5th year as Simply Said by Priscilla. I am very excited to see what this magical year will bring. Each year I have discovered something new to paint, something different to paint on and my business has grown in leaps and bounds each year - which is very very exciting. To think I get to do something that I truly LOVE and make a business out of it, seems like every persons dream. I feel very fortunate to be living the dream. It's because of all of you that I have made it this far and am looking forward to working with all of you in the years to come. Thank you for your patronage and for the ability to unleash my creativity.

It's a National Geographic kind of month

Priscilla — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 12:20:26 +0000

I have always been drawn to beautiful photography. It's not uncommon to find me browsing through the photos from National Geographic for sometimes hours. It's something that makes me feel happy. I'm a real big shutterbug and spend more time on the golf course snapping pictures than playing golf some times. But it's rare that I can get a "National Geographic" kind of picture - you know, the clarity and crispness of that perfect photograph. I finally took the plunge and bought myself a Nikon D5100 with 3 lenses and have already started exploring with it. I'd love to try and find a way to pull my photography into my works of art. Once I have a nice collection of photos, I'll likely be at least making photo greeting cards. There's a whole lot of learning that goes along with the fantastic photos though .. it's going to be a long, but enjoyable journey. Happy Birthday to me!

Happy New Year

As we say goodbye to 2011 and hello to 2012, I'm wishing you and your family a healthy, happy new year. I will have plenty of new creations this year as I begin my fifth year as Simply Said by Priscilla. I'm excited to see what this year will bring. Thanks for stopping by and please remember to check back often, as I am always adding new pieces of art on here. My latest - an aluminum stewed tomato can that is now my paint brush container .. all painted up and looking very cool!

Gift Certificates are now available

What a perfect solution for that hard to buy for person on your list. Why not give them a gift certificate and let THEM choose what they would like for a painting. I'll guarantee you it will be a one of a kind, special gift that they can treasure forever.

Christmas has come and gone

Priscilla — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 12:36:59 +0000

I can't even believe how quickly the Christmas Holiday came and went this year. This was my busiest Christmas so far with painting. Now that the hussle and bussle is behind us, I will be spending some time on some new creations. I have several recycled windows I am going to paint and will be introducing some new Christmas Tree ornaments later in the year as well. Thank you all who ordered something this year. Looking forward to another great year. Happy Holidays to you and your families.

Fall is upon us

Priscilla — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 13:43:31 +0000

It's hard to believe it is already Fall, one of my favorite seasons in Vermont. It is always this time of year that I become reinspired just by taking in the beauty of the season. No matter where you go when you live in Vermont, Fall is always sure to present breathtaking scenery. The leaves are turning and the bright reds and oranges are emerging. I have just acquired some windows that were taken out of an old colonial home in Proctor Vermont and am planning to paint some beautiful Vermont scenes on them. And of course .. I will be painting some new Fall scenes on Vermont sap buckets to display at the Fair Haven Welcome Center. Please be sure to stop in and take a peak if you are in the area. Enjoy this beautiful season!

Happy June to everyone

Priscilla — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 12:42:51 +0000

Finally - Summer. What a long winter - but I guess considering the catastrophic weather that has happened in so many other states over the past few months, Winter is really nothing to complain about. I'm looking forward to bringing you new creations this summer .. stay tuned and enjoy the season!

Well hello

Priscilla — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 12:30:14 +0000

It's been a while since I've posted on here so I thought I would drop in and let you know what I'm up to lately. I've recently started "dabbling" in the world of canvas painting. I will have new pieces of work posted on my site soon. Be sure to come back and browse often as I am always updating with newly created pieces of work. You can also "like" Simply Said by Priscilla on Facebook. I love getting new "like's". I am spending the winter getting ready to submit my application and be a vendor at the Chaffee Art In the Park this year, a goal of mine on my "bucket list" since I began as Simply Said by Priscilla. Feel free to drop me a note, contact me or just simply browse my website. Enjoy!

Did you know Christmas is just a little over one month away?

Priscilla — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 13:30:00 +0000

Now is the perfect time to begin planning for Christmas. What better gift to give than something unique and personal. All of my items are painted using acrylic paint, and high attention to detail, capturing as many personal aspects of the recipient as possible, with the end result of something that can be cherished for years to come. Thank you for stopping by and please check back often. Enjoy this sunshiny November Sunday!

Spending more time in my "passion" world .. ..

Priscilla — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 10:51:13 +0000

I will be starting a new job at RRMC this month. It is a 32 hour work week and is going to give me more time to play in my "art" world. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I'm hoping this will give me the extra time to grow with my business, which is growing in leaps and bounds, all by itself. Stay tuned for new art to be posted on my website soon. Thank you for stopping by and taking a peak and please come back often.
