Well Here Goes Nothing...

 as promised I have decided to be brave
and share some of my art work
with all of you.
Please keep in mind that
these are scans of copies as I have always
donated the original to the Art Auction
or to the church directly for their use.
this is a watercolor of the Barnegat Lighthouse
a local landmark.

a watercolor of daffodils
As you can see between copying and scanning
some of the vibrancy is lost.
Both of the original pieces sold
at last year's auction.
watercolor/colored pencil of a cardinal

watercolor/colored pencil of a goldfinch

watercolor/colored pencil of a bluebird
These three birds were made into
 notecards and sold to raise funds
for our mission trip, the originals sold
at last year's auction as a tryptich.

watercolor/colored pencil of tulips

watercolor/colored pencil of pink daisies
watercolor/colored pencil of teapot with roses
The three previous flower pieces
were also used as gift cards the year
before and the originals given
as a gift to our Youth Minister.

While I know the quality of the reproductions
is not great I hope this gives you an
inkling into the sort of work I do.
If you're still with me after this I'll
show you more pieces tomorrow :)
and guess what???
Yet another award came my way
today, LV from 'Thoughts From Meme's Corner'
shared this lovely award with me.
This has just been the most amazing
week and it's only Tuesday!

  19. ackkk! The Barnegat Lighthouse! I love it... My sister has a place on LBI, so this lighthouse is special to us. I love your work, and understand how difficult it is to share such a special, personal part of yourself in such a way. But you should! It's beautiful :)

  20. Diva, You have been blessed with such a gift...and as with all true gifts, it's rooted in your heart. You can see the passion you have for your subjects.

    I can't pick a favorite. They're all so special! The narcissus is new to me, the lighthouse too. I really enjoy how you can bring us the world through your eyes and that your eyes are so embracing of all they see.
