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 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;
