April Birthstone Fairy Finished!

Yay! I finished April’s Birthstone Fairy, Diamond. There are a few differences from the preview I showed you a few days ago.  I added diamond sparklies and changed her outfit from the little dress I was beginning to paint to a two piece short set, and of course, added the background.  This is a very […]

New Birthstone Fairy WIP

My Birthstone Fairy series has been sitting on the back seat for months now.  Should I say over a year?  Gah!  I am now on a mission to finish them. This is the fifth time I’ve started an April – Diamond Fairy.  Other attempts were in white, pale blue and pale pink.  They just didn’t […]

New Art – Rose Red

If you’re anything like me you have unfinished artwork lying around, either on your hard drive or in your desk, or art studio.  It seems I have ALOT of unfinished work.  I’ve spent the last few days going through it and deciding what I want to trash and what I want to either finish or […]

Pinterest is Perfect for Artists

Pinterest is perfect for me.  I am very visually motivated and inspired.  When I first saw all the beautiful pin boards, wonderfully organised, with so many gorgeous pictures, I fell instantly and hopelessly in love.  It had me hooked.  What is Pinterest?  Pinterest is a social networking site with a twist.  It is an image […]

Do You Love Your Art? Why Doesn’t It Sell?

Some of you may already know that I’ve started a new personal blog, At Home With Tori .  I did this because I want this blog to stay totally about art and I’d like to involve you in the conversation.  After all, one sided conversations, are just weird, if not a sign of insanity.  Please save […]

Snowy Morning

Snow!  Last week it was so warm, the grass was starting to turn green, and this morning we woke up to snow. It’s so pretty, but I’m glad it will probably be gone by noon, I’m ready for spring. The dogs had a wonderful romp in it. … and pronounced it delicious! What has this […]

St Paddy’s Day Gift for You

In the middle of December, my husband and I bought an English Bulldog.  His name is Otis and we are totally smitten with him.  In fact, we are so smitten with his wrinkly bully cuteness, which will soon turn into a face only a mother can love, that we decided to share him with all […]

Getting Reconnected

Finally my website has a front page again.  Finally our internet is stable and I don’t time out waiting to upload, download, page load… well you get it. Of course to fix, if only temporarily, our internet problem we had to unplug our land phone and plug the dsl directly into the phone jack, as […]

My new artwork is up in the Enchanted Visions Project gallery, under the title “Dreaming on Aquamarine Tides“. Here’s a peek at a teensy bit of the total picture: I invite you to have a look at the full version and all the other lovely art of the same name.  I love seeing all the different interpretations […]
