Hello dear readers!<br />
I have begun painting again! It's like a refreshment for my soul, let me tell you! We are pretty much settled into our new home, my art room, while not set up <i>quite</i> right, is unpacked, and my brushes are getting a little action!<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Now, let me introduce you to one of my newest little guys! <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/94886676/little-fields-of-gold-little-original"> “Little Fields of Gold”</a> is a charming little oil painting with yellow and golden fields in the foreground, layers of warm sky and clouds, and dots of trees and shrubs. The brush strokes and the thickness of the paint (“impasto”) to add character, visual direction, and a feeling of lovely texture to this little painting.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">I love the tiny size! This little guy measures 4×4 inches, which, for some reason, allows me to get out of my head and just paint. I had fun playing around with the color pallet; warm teal, gold, blue, gray. The canvas is 1.5 inches wide (edge) and is able to stand on it's own and it is very easy to hang.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">So happy, so cute, so bold and brash for such a small thing! </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">You can find this baby in my shop or on my <a href="http://www.EmilyJeffords.com/"><b>new portfolio website</b></a>! Please, go on over there and see what I've been working on!</span></span><br />

Hello! Well, let me up-date you on my crazy life! Over the past couple months since my last post on this blog I have completed three more little painting that coordinate with the one in my last post (and they're pretty cute together, I have to say!) packed up my whole house, drove myself and two little girls from far-west Texas all the way to far-east South Carolina where my husband is now stationed. unpacked our whole house (my goodness we have a lot of stuff!) into our new home in Charleston, got settled in for a couple days, then had a whole party of out of town guests come for a visit. They left, then we left for a little "R&R" in DC during which time we proceeded to sleep very little and walk very, very, very far across that awesome city. After a week of excitement there we headed to Greenville, SC, then onto Atlanta, then - finally - home to our new home (still in partial boxes) in Charleston. My goodness I hate being in the car! <br />
<br />
We have had a couple days of "normal" so I am getting back to work! I thought I would start by updating my <a href="http://emilyjeffords.etsy.com/">shop</a>! Here are a couple images from that process. I was also honored with being featured in several treasuries on Etsy! I really love the one pictured above. <br />
<br />
And now, back to work! I'll be posting some photos of new work soon (as soon as I can find the box that has my watercolor paints in it!)<br />

I have created a new painting and I'm so excited to share it with you! It's been far to long since my last painting; but anything longer than a few days feels way to long to me...<br />
“Nearing 143657″ is a 4×4 inch baby painting. I love painting tiny
paintings because they are perfect little pops of artistic expression. I
like to place them on a shelf near a collection of pretty books, or on a
mantle by a vase of flowers. They also look great in groups, or solo
in a little area, hanging on the wall. Well really, they just look
great no matter where you put them! Tiny paintings are also perfect for
the art lover without a huge budget. These babies are priced just
right (think, Christmas gift!)<br />
<br />
“Nearing 14367″ is so named after the location this painting was
inspired by. My parents live at 14367 CR 37 in a beautiful home out in
the country in Northern, Ohio. Their home has to be one of the most
warm, welcoming, comfortable, loving (and yummy!) places on earth. I
took this snapshot while driving down the road on the way “home” one
afternoon. There is so much lush foliage, and warm sunshine in this
place… I incorporated many shades of gold and cheery green, as well as a
huge variety of warm blues in the sky. It hope this painting fills you
with that sense of lovely warmth and belonging as well!<br />
There are eight more small paintings coming soon but you can find
this one in my <a href="http://emilyjeffords.etsy.com/">fine art shop.</a><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So much excitement! Life is amazing... but life is oh so crazy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In case you're wondering, no, I am NOT going to stop painting! I have oil paints in my blood. I think in watercolors. I am not stopping. There will be many more paintings posted on this blog in the days ahead, so be sure to check back often or "follow" this blog so you'll be the first to know when they're posted! I simply have to focus on a different expression of my art for the time being. We're living in a small apartment (without a studio or place to paint), while living in a strange city in the middle of nowhere in Texas. And with my husbands stressful and crazy work schedule and my two daughters, I need to put aside my first art-love for right now to focus on my family and other art forms.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm not trying to sound cranky or discontent! I'm not at all! I know this is where God wants me right now, and where I'm supposed to do... I just want you to know that I'll be back! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We're moving to Charleston early next year and I am soooo hoping for a house with a studio... or at least a cozy little painting corner. But either way, i'm looking forward to getting out my brushes again soon!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I may even surprise myself and create a line of little paintings before Christmas! </div><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">Hello to my most faithful of followers. I have been a horrible blogger as of late. I’m so sorry! As you know, we moved to Texas where my husband has been doing some advanced training for his job in the Air Force, and since then I’ve only completed four paintings (one of which I hate because it’s blue and for some reason I don’t like blue. Weird, I know). Honestly, its been hard to paint here. I’m used to having a room full of light and peace and space in which to let all my creative juices come out through paint, but that’s not really the set up I have goin’ here… Because we’re only here for 6 months, we decided to get a smaller apartment to save money for our, hopefully, much nicer home in Charleston (where we’ll be moving next!) I have to say I am very, very excited about that. Really, just seeing green grass makes me happy these days… Charleston, SC is going to feel like paradise with all the little gardens hidden around town, and the lush sea side feel… can not wait.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I am, however, still staying very busy! I’ve created a new line of wedding invitations and save-the-date cards that make me very happy. I’m such a hopeless romantic deep down… I’m selling them on my shop: <a href="http://beautifulhello.etsy.com/">BeautifulHello.etsy.com</a> . Hop over and check them out! Even if you’re old and married (like me) they’ll make your day a little brighter. They are all "DIY invitations" meaning I design a custom piece for you, format it onto paper and you get it printed and assembled. It's totally I win win because the bride and groom still get that custom, unique look (that normally costs an arm and a leg) for a tiny fraction of the price, and I get to focus on designing (the part I loooove) and less on printing. <br />

Well it's done. The first substantial (aka, large) painting for our new living room! As you know, we just moved to West Texas from sunny, lush, green South Carolina. Let me tell you... it's a bit of a landscape culture shock. I used to live in Houston, so I thought I knew what I was getting into... but it feel so different!<br />
I love the warm colors, the HUGE sky, and the hundred different shades of yellow that are prevalent here. It seems like you can see for miles and miles and miles... and, you probably can! I snapped the photo that inspired this painting on my drive from San Antonio, TX to San Angelo, TX.<br />
This painting, called "Headed West" is 24x36 inches on canvas. I cannot wait to get it framed and hung behind our lovely new couch!!<br />

I'll try to finish it tonight and post pictures tomorrow of the completed piece. I know right where its going to go, and I'm so excited to frame it and hang it up!! Why does oil paint take sooo long to dry?? I just love working on large canvases. <3<br />
<br />
...isn't Annalisa getting big!! You can't really tell here, but she's running, and skipping, and dancing, and using new words every day. I love it. She has an infatuation with this painting too. Maybe it's because it's sitting on a box on the ground... (my art table broke in our move and I haven't gotten a new one yet. Besides, what more could I want! I have a big box and a pink velvet poof!) ...or maybe it's because I keep telling her not to put her fingers in the paint... or maybe she's a natural born artist and she just can't resist those colors and smells, and textures... <br />
<br />

I cannot tell you how good it feels to paint again!! It's been far to long. I've missed you dear brushes!! You should have seen me... on all of my cross country adventures (with my sweet baby and sister in the car) I would frantically grab for my camera (which of course, was never where I left it), trying to still drive in a straight line at 80 mph, and snap a picture of some amazing sun set, or lush field, or dry landscape. I am sooo excited about doing a series of landscape painting inspired by the beautiful variety of America I've seen over the past couple months. <br />
<br />
This particular painting is hitting pretty close to what is now "home". I snapped this photo soon after entering Texas. I love how huge and grand the sky looks, and how much depth there is in the golden fields. <br />
<br />
This is an oil painting on canvas. It measures 11x16 and has a dramatic red border (I'm liking the suprise element that adds to my decor). I haven't decided if I'm going to sell this painting quite yet... my new apartment feels a little naked...<br />
<br />
Many more paintings to come!! <br />

I must clarify, (for the sake of my artistic integrity!!) I was not painting <i>this</i> landscape!!! I was just admiring the similarities... This is the view from my bedroom window. You should see it at night... wow. Maybe I'll paint that someday! <br />

Wow. What an adventure these past couple months have been!! Let me catch you up! Since my last post, I have packed more boxes than I wish to remember, arranged them like a rubix cube in a storage unit, spent a lovely time in Charleston, SC, said goodbye to my dear, dear husband for two months while he received training with the US Air Force, I have travelled thousands of miles (in a car. With two babies) across the country, spent precious time with my dear family (on both sides) celebrated my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary with a huge family reunion (I had the honor of decorating and flowering everything -- so much fun), kissed my girls double time (for their daddy while he was away), travelled from Ohio to San Antonio, TX with a caravan of family for my husbands AF graduation (SUCH a fun weekend), and then, on to San Angelo, TX, where my husband continues his training and my girls and I battle the heat and enjoy our time together in the wild, wild west! <br />
<br />
God has brought us such a long way. I've never felt his grace and peace more powerfully that this summer. <br />
<br />
Here are a few photos of my adventures!! (sorry there are so many.. there were just so many photogenic moments!)<br />
I'm excited about getting into this blog again and hope that you'll join me!<br />

Now, you must understand, this is very rare for me. I'm not the most skilled seamstress... I spend a lot of time with my seam ripper, trying to get it just right. But every now and then (apparently, most often when there is a baby on the way!) I get the fabric itch. I made Annalisa (my first daughter) a blanket before she was born out of fuzzy yellow fabric and satin, and she has grown so attached to it. I wanted to make another one for Madelyn (due in 8 days!) So, I've been hard at work creating her blanket and a bumper pad (shown above still in progress). Yes, I will take out the needle!!! It's just there for stability at the moment.<br />
<br />
I'll post photos of the finished collection when I get it all complete.<br />
<br />
Madelyn Ansley Jeffords will be here soon!!!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">With so many beautiful, handmade, creative items offered on Etsy, I decided to make a registry, of sorts, on there! There are so many sweet, artsy, creative, and, of course, handmade to look through... I had the hardest time compiling this collection! But, it was such fun. Our sweet baby girl, Madelyn Ansley Jeffords, is due on Feb 12th and we are excitedly awaiting and planning for her arrival.</div><br />

It's so stylish and modern... and, as always, I love shop windows! They always hold a feast of shadows, lights, shiny things, colors, and abstract shapes. <br />
<br />
This particular watercolor is so warm and watery. The reflections are very implied and suggested with the beautiful watercolor effects. I just love painting in watercolors... <br />
<br />
This painting is painted on heavy, hot-press paper (my favorite) with the finest quality watercolor paints. It measures 10x15 inches.<br />
<br />
It is available on <a href="http://emilyjeffords.etsy.com/">my shop</a> for a great price! And, like every painting in my shop, will arive on your doorstep, beautifully packaged and wrapped! <br />
