Sad news from the heartland

Last week was a very sad week for me. I lost my beloved puppy of eight years. He was a very special dog. He loved keeping track of his small space and was a very big presence in my life. It has been so cold here this week and I really miss talking to him. I hope that he is safe and warm where he is now.

Well Spring is in the Air

I have been busy making dolls, painting and doing a little bit of everything.
Here is my newest extreme prim bunny. I think he turned out so wonderful.

My New Extreme Snowman

This is my new snowman, he is so extremely prim. He is listed on etsy. He is my favorite so far.

New Dolls- Pleasantly Prim

I wanted to show everyone what I have been up to lately. I have had so much fun making these wonderful little prim dolls. They seem to take on a life of their own.
Any comments are welcome. Some of these are listed on ebay now.

Two Websites To Check Out

I have now have two websites. One for my wild side and one for my primitive side. I really can't choose between the two. Sometimes I am compelled to go to the wild dark side. I have the site up and running now. I still have tons more work to do, but maybe I can find time soon.

New Prim Aceo with June and Gertie

Today I worked on some aceo cards. They are so wonderful to do, I will probably need stronger glasses if I keep it up though.
This is June, Gertie and Annie. Gertie has on her flag blankie, she is giving June the look over.
I also did some outsider ones today. I finished up a Humpty Dumpty card today too. He is praying to the glue god. He is listed on ebay. Bless his heart. He doesnt have a chance.

New Christmas Door Hanger

Here is my new Snowman Door Hanger. She is so cute with her little one
next to her with his little dollie. Even snow babies need a dolly you know. My husband was so sweet to make this for me to paint. He is an artist and sometimes joins me in my little world. This item is listed on ebay right now just in time for the holidays.

New Website

I have spent the last week working on a new website for my primitive folk art obsession.
Please take a moment and check out what I have gotten done so far. Click the picture to go to my site.

Prim Christmas Ornies

I do this wonderful collection of dolls I call Prim Tales. Today I unveiled the first public Christmas ornament from this collection. Up til now I had been keeping them for myself. This is Sally and she was the first Prim doll I did.

Todays Delima

Well, it has been a long time since I posted here. I start a new job tomorrow which will drastically cut down on my time to paint. I have been making Christmas ornaments for my tree and I have been in Heaven for a few weeks.
I am torn between primitive art and the surreal dark world that I seem to gravitate towards. I wish I could settle on a style and stay there.
You can check my latest ebay auctions here to see what I have been working on.

The New Year

Well it has been a while since I posted anything. I have been busy getting a website together and getting my ebay store ready for the new year. Here are a couple of my lastest creations. I think they capture that once in a lifetime moment.

My New Clown Painting

This turned out so much better than I could have hoped for. I think the sky is magnificent and I tried to make the clown blend into the clouds as much as possible. Let me know what you think

Today I worked on some dark outsider works. They are always a hoot to do. I can be anyone I want in those and creativity has no bounds. Today I worked on the Black Heart Family and did another Herschel. I think Herschel will turn out to be very popular. He has such character. I am including some pics so you can see. Any comments are appreciated. You can check these guys out Here

Todays Creations

Tornados everywhere today, but I have been painting up a storm. Today I worked on some outsider work. I have two wonderful characters: Herschel and The Black Heart Family. I think they are so full of nastiness. I love the Black Heart family-they never seem to do anything right and are always fighting. Herschel just never seems to get anywhere. You can check them out on ebay.
Tomorrow I am going to work on another Clown painting which is what I like best.

What I have been working on

This is one of my lastest paintings for Land of Meihre, which is a series I am doing. I have this one listed on ebay right now. I love the colors of this one. This pure guy looks so sad, but if I had tree roots coming out of my sockets, I would be sad too..

Nasty and cold here today. It rained all day. All I want to do on days like this is sleep. The weather channel is predicting a bunch of tornados too. I wish it could stay 80 all year long. Maybe I should move to Hawaii, or Australia. I would love to visit either place. I am still trying to figure out my style and it is driving me crazy. I will keep everyone posted.

New Outsider Work

I have been working hard on a new series of outsider art. As a self taught artist, it is hard sometimes to get things just the way you want them. I think my work has grown and evolved a lot in the last few months. I hope that I continue to grow as an artist. I try not to get discouraged as quickly as I used to. I have been checking in to some galleries to see what is out there. Ebay has finally picked up some. I am hoping Christmas will be a good time.
