Melody Blue Owl - New Art on Canvas

 Happy 2013 Everyone!  I have taken a much needed break from doing too much over the last few months.  Work has been too busy, home life too busy and the holidays....well, you guessed it.  Too busy!!  I took a vacation from work and life to spend 2.5 weeks at home with my kids.  they are 15 and 18 yrs old now, they will be off on their own before I know it.  It was a lazy, sleep late, movie watching, book reading, game playing, shopping, organizing and crafting vacation.  Lots of quality time with the kids which was a just perfect.

 

One of the things I did was some new artwork.  This is the first in a set of 3 new pieces.

This one is called Melody Blue Owl.  She is listed for sale in my Etsy shop.

The Altered Brush Project by Donna Downey

For those that are familiar with Donna Downey and her awesome art, you might already know about her "Altered Brush Project".  She is allowing anyone to create a paint brush art piece that will be diplayed in her studio.  How awesome is that!!  Of course I jumped right on buying my brush and recently shipped it off to her.  And on her blog today, my piece is displayed here.

I'm so proud to be part of her art project.  You can be too, read the details below (directly from her site) or click over to her blog.

Enjoy your day and count your blessings!!
Hugs,  Erin
