So, I would love to share with you all some pics from the last couple of weeks. Remember Stacy from Magic Love Crow? Here's the awesome painting I won from her blog giveaway a few weeks back. I am a bit late posting this, Stacy...So Sorry! But here it is and I hope you enjoy. I have it in my front entranceway with my other 2 favorite pictures.
I also received in the mail a gorgeous poster that I will have to frame! I participated in a fundraiser by doing a painting a on 6x6 inch tile for the Mosaic for Mental Health. It was hard to get a really good picture so I took several.
Every little square is a different painting from a different artist.
Aren't these fabulous? I love how there is so much color!
So much great art here.
If you look closely you can see my grapes in the middle of this one :)
Incredible.
Every year at my workplace, we raise funds to "adopt" a less fortunate family for Christmas. This year we are selling tickets on a huge basket of goodies. Everyone was asked to bring something in for the basket, so I hand painted some wine glasses... I tried to make them funky and fun.
I hope everyone has a great week! Next I'll be posting a pic of my work in progress...It is still a work in progress but slowly coming along :)
Wow, the colour & visual stimulation would keep me checking out that poster for hours! Very inspired :) Stacy's art is a daily delight in my house, I have a few wonderful pieces scattered through our home to enjoy at each glance as we pass by :) Oh yes, I think it's great to share at Christmas, so adopting a person or family to give a gift to is I believe the way to carry the true Christmas spirit to the community!

Hooray for your camera! Lots of beautiful goodies here...thanks for sharing them. Have a wonderful rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteLove your display of paintings and the poster looks amazing! :)
ReplyDeletePoster is lovely - how does it help mental health - is it that everyone donates the art so they can have a new promotional poster each year. Are the posters printed and sold? Is the art sold to fundraise? Is the art given away to mental health patients to cheer them up. Is the art not donated, only a photo sent. Sorry re all the questions but I am just intrigued how it all works and wondering if our art societies here couldn't do something to help mental health too. I have a nephew with schizophrenia, a partner with depression, another nephew who has tried to commit suicide (an I am totally neurotic of course), hence the interest.
ReplyDeleteAwesome wine glasses and I LOVE the mosaic poster, wow!!! You lucky girl, I have Stacy's little crows all over my room too,lol!!!Deb
ReplyDeleteGorgeous mosaic. What a wonderful idea!
