Just Two Birds Singin

One peppy little garland, two happy birds, three circles and swoops, four electrical wires, countless tiny "flag" dots...  check back tomorrow to see this darling watercolor collage!


It's a thank you gift to my grandmother.  She gave Dan and I four sets of our china as a two year anniversary gift, and I'm giving her this whimsical painting in return!  I hope she likes it half as much as I love my china!  


Here are a couple photos of my china in the cupboard.  So beautiful...  (These photos are not showing the painting that will be revealed tomorrow.) 

Painting #109 The Grass Looks Greener When the Sky Dances

Good morning!  This is a lovely, yet rare occurrence...  that I would post in the morning!  But... here it is!  I actually finished this painting last night, but was to tired to photograph, edit, and post. 

I feel like my eyes and soul could take a bath in these colors and come out feeling fabulous.  (If that made sense to you, please let me know so I don't feel totally crazy anymore!)  This is a 8x10 oil painting on canvas.  It is glossy, it is gleaming, it is an artistic fashion statement, and it would look fantastic on your wall...  

You can find it on my etsy shop if you feel so inclined:  EmilyJeffords.etsy.com

One more thing...  You may be asking yourself: "My!  I wonder what these darling little canvases will become?!"  If so... check back on Saturday morning!  They have been transformed into three of the cutest and most dramatic little paintings you will ever see.  AND, they are going to be only $20 each!  

Mark your calendars. 

Progress... 

Progress... So, you may remember a few days ago (day 100 actually) I posted a watercolor painting called "Chandelier Warehouse"... this is its sister (or brother if you prefer). It's a watercolor of the same storefront from a different point of view. I just love the abstract shapes, and the depth of view created by store fronts. They fascinate me. This is a 7x10 watercolor painting that will, hopefully, be done tomorrow!  Do you have any title suggestions?

Have a wonderful Saturday! Enjoy time with family, friends, and the lawn mower...

Annalisa was just too cute to keep to myself today. We took her down town tonight and carried her around in her chest harness and had a grand time. She, of course, got covered with ice cream and kisses, and danced all the way down Main Street.

Planning, organizing, and getting ready to paint!

Artwork coming soon!

Happy Saturday!

I've sent my husband off to the grocery store, put my daughter down for a nap, and made some coffee. I am now ready to sit down with the computer and note pad to map out all my creative endeavors. I hope you all are getting as excited as I am about Monday! Wow, I never thought I would say that!

Painting365 is going to kick off then, March 1st, with my first painting. 1 of 365!  Artwork coming to your walls soon!

Thank you also, to Going Home To Roost for featuring my work on your blog!
