New painting and 4 leaf clovers

So I used my photography lights and I am still convinced that photography is not my strength, BUT! they DID turn out better than my normal pictures, so I am still proud of the hours and hours I spent trying to get decent pictures. Here are 2 examples (above and below) of my 4 leaf clovers.

When I found these little guys, I was walking to my sister's annual Cinco De Mayo party. It was magic, I found a total of five 4-leaf clovers in ONE day.

Each leaf represents something different; faith, hope, love & luck!

The framed 4-leaf clovers are $15 each. I think the one above is 4" x 5" and the one below is 3.75" x 4.25"

I had to build a light box to get these photos. The fairy below is available on etsy for $8.

The next 4 paintings have been posted before, but I took better pictures of them. The 5th painting is brand new!

I know I haven't posted for a billion years, but I have been working my little tooshie off. I am working on Mr. Mailbox Man, who has appeared in previous paintings,
(http://snoodledoodle.blogspot.com/2008/05/rippling-water.html)
but this time he has his own story, called "Mr. Mailbox Man Goes to Work". It is almost 40 drawings and I am using a micron pen (my favorite!) and water color. I have made all of the pen drawings and have been working on the water color. My studio looks like an assembly line, the way I have it set up.

I have been working hard on my little gnomes, I posted a picture on the last post.

I am also working on props for J.R.'s next movie.

Here is his 1st one he made for the 48 Hour Film Fest

gnomes, fairies, monkeys, OH MY!

I had to edit this post because I thought the pictures were terrible, plus, I added a little more detail to the paintings. Anyway, here are my tiny new favorite things. gnomes! I love these little guys more than you can even know. J.R. and I hide them all over the house and I giggle every time I find one. They are so small you can hide them on picture frame ledges etc. I found one in my sugar jar the other day when I was making my coffee. I am selling them for $8 if you are interested!

This is the tote I made to keep Piper's 3rd birthday present in: which is a felt board with shapes and characters for her to play with. I was thinking about about Henri Matisse' paper cutout pieces when creating the shapes for her to play with.
Following are examples of the type of art you can make;

Meg's gnome painting

Here is a small painting I made for my 5 year old niece, Meg. She, of course, loves fairies so I thought I would paint something that would go well with her fairy themed bedroom, a sleeping gnome and a butterfly!
