Signs of Warmer Weather

 This little possum came visiting our porch after the last snow storm ended. He may have been hanging around under the porch for a while and eating up any leftover bird food. His fuzzy face is worthy of an animal portrait.

My paintings have been featured in an Etsy Treasury. You can find them here. - https://www.etsy.com/treasury/Mjc2MTIxODF8MjcyMzI4NDEwMQ/warmer-days-ahead

A new adventure-- archival prints of my watercolors

I recently opened an Etsy shop -TinkersHeart- featuring archival art prints of my watercolor paintings. I am very happy with the results of the printing process. The color reproduction is quite good and the texture and feel of the paper gives prints the same appearance as the original watercolor. The print of the bird above is available in the shop and below is an image from an earlier post of the squirrel, owl, and bird in progress.

Lama on the job

 A neighbor's lama stands guard over his sheep. He gets a great deal of respect from the sheep, but little affection, as they seem to stay a good distance away from him at all times. 

Gingerbread Houses

 We are getting into the holiday spirit around here! These are Gingerbread Houses that my sons and niece and nephew created recently-- with some help from Grandma and my Brother.

A sneak peek at some watercolor paintings I've been working on. They are part of a series of animal themed art that will be made into prints. More about each to come in later posts.

Snow Ponies

If there is one animal I could mind meld with it would be Sidney. She is full of all kinds of attitude and always makes me smile. Every look she gives me speaks a thousand words.
