i have yet to find another vendor who does as FABULOUS of a job as
FAA. in my on line travels, i have seen many vendors/POD (print on demand) companies that offer tote bags but with the image only sitting as a small rectangle/square in the center of the bag therefore leaving the rest of the bag as just bare canvas. what i love most about FAA's bags is that the image/painting encompasses the whole entire bag. they offer 3 different sizes~13x13, 16x16 and 18x18. the
bag above is 16x16. it's the perfect mid size bag for me to cart around my pencils and 9x12 and 11x14 sketchbooks. in the pic below, the
mermaid is the 13x13 size and the
fire goddess is 18x18. i have several of these bags and they are gorgeous...every single one of them. good quality canvas and excellent printing quality. clear and precise and the color is spot on.
so, click on over to my
shop at FAA and get one for your little girl or even for yourself. oh, and don't let my horrendous photography skills scare you away. i'm just a painter. :)
for they did it again! have yet to find a better vendor for tote bags than these guys. these bags are GORGEOUS!!! color, spot on. the image fills up the whole entire bag, which is available in THREE different sizes. perfect for anything and everything.
big believer in giving credit where credit is due...and this one is well deserved.
thanks, f
ine art america for putting out yet another fabulous product! one happy little artist here!
{ps and btw, sun glare not included. ;) }

i thought it might be fun to take on the four elements (in between commissions), so i began with a self-portrait of sorts...the true definition of a fire sign.
meet serafina, the goddess of fire. PRINTS (AND SUCH) can be found through the shop links
here. also, the ORIGINAL PAINTING is FOR SALE.
contact me if interested and please place the word SERAFINA in the subject line so i don't mistake it for spam/junk mail.
i'm hoping to get to the remaining elements (air, water and earth) SOON! :) currently working on a couple commissions....

with this week's
IF theme being *mermaid*, well i thought this commission from last August was rather fitting. it's one of my favorites to date. must be the pink hair....:)
PRINTS (AND OTHER TREATS) FOUND
HERE
to last WINTER and these two cuties....they put me in my HAPPY place! :)
'cause this girl has had ENOUGH of this rainforest-like climate and disgustingly high levels of humidity. i just was not made to handle such conditions. perhaps that is why i am known as the "ice princess" amongst my friends. WINTER is MY season!
ahh, Mr. WINTER...how i miss you so. your pristine beauty from freshly fallen SNOW to clean, cold temps. i await you anxiously, my dear friend....overly anxiously perhaps....i digress. and with that being said...
these two bits of adorableness known as Alaska and her little buddy, Aspen can be found FOR SALE
here. they are ORIGINAL PAINTINGS, NOT REPRODUCTIONS.
however, since i like to offer up choices, reproductions and other bits of deliciousness with these two featured can be found
here and
here as well.
why not get yourself in the WINTER spirit now?! i surely am every. single. day.
{i need to write/illustrate a kids book about the wonders of winter, i'm thinking....}
when carting around your sketchbook and pencils! ;)
{thanks, fine art america for a wonderful print job and super cute bag...minus the poor photography skills on my part, that is.}
...and what would make better cozy companions than these two adorable balls of arctic cuteness!

Working on a commission I'm not at liberty to show, so meanwhile, I'll show you other stuff ~
I received my order of botanical art books - whee! Can't WAIT to sit with these and gorge myself on the beautiful art within.
I have some framed art that I'm a) trying to photograph properly to sell and b) trying to decide whether to redo the backing on or not. These are framed prints that were selling in a shop here (which has closed), and the backs are not sealed up with paper, ala gallery framing. They were purposely done that way, since people sometimes wanted to switch out a print to put it in a different frame. I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade that, or leave them as is, before putting them up in the etsy shop. "As is" would fetch a lower price, so methinks that might be the safest way to go. Still mulling.
I also joined and uploaded some art to
Fine Art America. I love the stretched canvas option they have.
Have also been fiddling with my online shops and am updating my whole shopping page, so lots of 'behind the scenes' stuff going on. I did list the originals of the
cracker drawings for sale (unframed) if you're interested. The frames I had ordered that I
thought would be perfect for them, aren't (grrrrr...), so they're going solo.
And for now, its back to the drawing board for me ~
