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...

So little time...

I have been going like a madwoman making changes to my website!  I have struggled with learning CSS, but I think it is finally coming together.

I have gotten a really good start on the galleries (check out my vertical drop down menu, please!!) but I still need to get some more paintings on there.  The Angels section is finished, as are the Florals.  Still have to get the Landscapes written and uploaded as well as Abstracts, Soldered Frames, Quilts, Still Life and New Work.

It is pretty cool when it all starts coming together, but hard on the head trying to sort that code out.  My son keeps asking me why I don't use one of those programs that do all that stuff for you, but hey, I do love a challenge.


If you get a moment, check out my Etsy page.  I have my latest painting "A Simple Pear" on there now and it seems to be getting quite a few looks.http://www.etsy.com/shop/jdmstudios

It has been a busy week!  Working part time certainly has its benefits.  I consider myself blessed that I can have the best of both the working world ( I do enjoy my job) and the art world.  I have been off all this week and have been painting up a storm.  My plan is to be busy.  Busy with my artwork.

I have so far listed two framed watercolor paintings on Etsy.  My store is jdmstudios.etsy.com if you get a hankering to check it out. My crows are there, too.

Check back in the next day or so for my newest work.  They are almost ready to be seen by the world!
