SUPPORTING WOMEN ARTISTS...........................


I try to support women artists when possible.  I can only imagine how difficult it is to make a living selling your art.  


With the internet it probably has gotten a little easier for your work to be seen...but there are so many creative, wonderful artists out there....that the competition is incredible.

This is an artist I love and support....Maria Pace Wynters.  She is an artist out of Canada and I fell in love with her colors and her creativity.

I own two of her pieces...on is larger than the other...but I enjoy both of them.


I have always loved putting contemporary pieces in ornate frames.  This piece was a little to big for the frame....so....I simply attached it to the front....like a shadow box in reverse.  


She always picks a wonderful name for each piece...and I simply love the dream like quality she portrays.  By the way...someone told me if you own three pieces of one artists....you are a collector....who knew?? LOL

Please stop by to see her work....you will find her here

Have a wonderful weekend sweet ladies.

Hugs,

Jo

    I will be sure and pop over to see her work. It's funny that you should be showcasing a woman artist today as I am, too. And old friend of mine I've known for over twenty years. She does primitive/folk pieces that are lots of fun. A riot of color!

    XO,

    Those pieces are beautiful! Art is such a personal thing and it's wonderful when you find a piece that just seems to speak to your heart.

    I love them. I've always loved art in many forms. Unfortunately, I can't draw a straight line. Maybe in my next life. :)

    If it's good this artist, you must be very happy with two of his works. Greetings

    Dear Jo, thanks for stopping by, since you're already in Scottsdale then my Friend's Shop is right in your neighborhood! Long way for me but it was well worth the trip, they've done an amazing job and that's such a fun location to Shop.

    I too love supporting other Artists whose work I admire or am inspired by. This Artist's work is so dreamy, love the vivid colors she uses... I've always been drawn to exotic, bold colors even though I do appreciate a monochromatic theme, I just can never KEEP mine that way when decorating! *winks*

    I love visiting your colorful blog. I have more than three paintings by my very talented sister, so I guess I'm a collector!

    Hello honey
    So glad you had a wonderful trip! I love these beautiful pieces you are sharing with us today. I will of course check her site out.
    You are just so creative and can think of ways to decorate that I never would think of. I like that you knew how to fix this picture where the canvas was to big for the frame. It turned out beautiful.
    I love hearing from you and I appreciate your get well wishes. I know everyone is tired of my whining. Hopefully this will end soon.
    Love ya
    Maggie

    One reason I love blogging is because of all the womens artists. I actually prefer the creativity to womans art...!

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right...

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
