Finished two paintings, and need your help!

Finally finished two of the paintings I gave the sneak preview on last week!  

It was a tough week...my youngest, who just turned 7 was sick with a cold all week, running a fever for most of it. I kept him home from school.  I do love having my little buddy with me, but I do get concerned.  I don't like seeing him miss so much school, though he is pretty bright, it doesn't seem to affect his schoolwork too badly.  He's already missed almost 2 weeks of school this winter.  He loves to paint alongside me.  He does a great job and he chooses some pretty interesting subjects to paint.  I will post his work when he finishes his piece that he started.

Those that follow me on facebook have already seen the leaves painting finished.  I call it "Back to the Earth". 

Back to the Earth

 These are leaves that were laying on the ground in my garden. The crocuses were popping up around them.  Funny how life is like that.  The old, falling back into the earth, making way for the next cycle, the next season.







 Here is the crow painting...looks quite different from the preview.

Crow Calling

I call this painting "Crow Calling". I snapped a pic of this beauty as he was up in a huge poplar tree just outside my kitchen door. My cat, Jag was trying to make friends with him, but I don't think this gorgeous Corvus wanted anything to do with him!



 Both of these paintings are for sale on my Etsy site, just click on the images to go there.







I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.  Hope you like 'em!

Have you ever heard of Heartsy?  For those that buy on Etsy, it's a great place to get deals of over 50% off different shops.  For a seller to become featured on Heartsy, they must be voted on by the community before they are reviewed and featured.  A seller must have 60 votes within a 72 hour period.  I am trying to get featured right now, and I'd really appreciate your votes!  This would give buyers the opportunity to purchase my artwork at great prices and it is great advertising for me.  It's win-win! 

So, this is where I need your help...if you haven't already, I would really, really, really appreciate it if you could go to http://heartsy.me/deals/1519/like and vote for me.  Just click "Yes, definitely" to vote.  

Thanks so much and have a wonderful week!

Gorgeous fall day...

The leaves are changing here in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia and what a glorious day it is here!   The air carries the pungent aroma of damp leaves and earth, still wet from the gentle rain we had this morning.  The sun is shining and it is unusually warm for this time of year.  It makes the red and yellow leaves stand out even more against the dark bark of their trees.

I am so close to finishing my fall leaves painting.  I can't wait to get back to my paints.  Stay tuned...
