I have a sale going on in my etsy shop this week on all my limited edition prints! This includes my new (very limited edition of 10) large 24×36 prints that are on sale for $200 each. Also, I just added three new limited editions of 100 that will be $25 each. They measures 10 inches x 10 inches (includes 3/4 inch border). These all come signed and numbered.
Thank you, thank you to everyone who voted!!! I am so excited to go to New York in just three short weeks. I will only have part of one day to really explore but if you have any good tips, please pass them on. I’ve never been to New York in December, so can’t wait. If you’re in New York please stop by on Dec. 4 and say hi, here is all the info on the sale.
Also, I am still taking orders for portraits for the holidays, so get your orders in soon!
Thank you again, the support I received from friends new and old as well as from my customers has meant so much.
I just added some of my new mini prints to my etsy store. They measure 5″x5″, the actual image is 4″x4″. I also put my limited edition of 10 each prints, of three of my most popular paintings, All Together, Girl in the Yellow Suit, and In the Depths . They measure 24″x36″ with the image measuring 23″X23″. They turned out just beautiful!
I am so thrilled to have been included in the December issue of Martha Stewart Living, in the holiday gift guide. It is on the stands now and my portrait sketches are on pg. 54!

This past weeken at Little Winter was just really special. Abby and Chelsea created the most magical market I’ve ever seen, filled with the nicest people selling the most beautiful items. It was table after table of goodness. I met so many people and can only say good things about the entire weekend. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and said hi! I didn’t take many photos, but made sure my husband took the kids by the Ace Hotel photo booth. Also, the biggest thanks to Cara for hanging with my the whole weekend! The photo of us was taken by Jordan and her jealous worthy camera. This little video by Anja Verdugo, captured the event perfectly, I think.

Little Winter: meet and greetHosted by West Elm

Friday November 5 from 7pm-9pm
I’ve been having fun planning all the little details for my little winter table. I already had most of what I need, but I got this amazing bee hive string dispenser on etsy recently (here). So, now I will be wrapping up paintings that are purchased with some brown paper and string!
I am now offering several limited edition prints that will make their debut at little winter and then I will be putting them in my etsy store. I’m really excited to be offering a limited edition of 10 24″x36″ (image size of 23″x23″) prints of ‘Girl in the Yellow Suit,” “In the Depths” and “All Together,” as well as limited editions of several as 10″x10″. Also, I am going to do mini prints of all the little 4″x4″ paintings. So, lots of new things (and busy nights for me ahead)!
Does it get much better than this?
I am finishing up all the prep for little winter!
I had the wonderful pleasure of receiving an email from singer Ashley Toussant recently and I am now a fan of her work. I love the internet, little connections that happen, introductions to art, music and people that would not have otherwise known. Go check out her charming website that is nearly as charming as her music!
I just had to pop in with this photo by Amy Stein, it’s perfection. The colors, their expressions, love it.
My daughter is a master at the subtle Halloween costume. So much so that often times it’s hard to know exactly what she is. Take for instance the year she was a half fruit/half vampire bat. I’m pretty sure she is the only kid that has ever been that. This year she announced she wanted to be a ghoulish/scary owl, not your average cute owl. So. We made an owl costume and then, added three drops of blood. Subtle, yes she is.
Have a fun Halloween (and happy bday to my mom who is a Halloween baby!)
There is a huge giveaway happening over at poppytalk with 14 of the little winter vendors donating their wares (including me). You really must go check it out!
A couple more small paintings. I’m sharing them together because despite the difference in palette and subject they both feel like quiet winter scenes to me. These will both be available at Little Winter (which is next weekend!).

I dropped off some little paintings yesterday for the Crafty Wonderland pop up shop. Here they are, but I forgot to snap a pic of them all framed up. The pop up shop is set to open in November and all the art is 6″x6″ or smaller and $100 or less.
I swear the weeks are spinning by so fast lately! How did it get to be Friday again so quickly? My day started out so nicely yesterday with coffee with the lovely Elsa May and this weekend I am looking forward to the staying in, getting some more painting done and watching the rain arrive.
