Northern Cardinal

"Northern Cardnial"
We have a lot of cardnials here in Ohio.
You can see them daily in the trees, around yards and bird feeders.
Last fall I had a male and female that came to my yard
each evening about dusk. I would make sure I had placed
some sunflower seeds in a certain spot by the birdbath.
I would sit quietly on the patio and sure enough here they'd come.
They did not seem afraid of me at all.
I think cardinals sound beautiful and are so enjoyable to observe.
They are my favorite birds!

Scenic Train

"Scenic Train"
I just got this new note card done in time for the winter season.
I was able to design this painting from some wonderful photos that
my sister-in-law took while visiting out west. I added in the train / tracks,
and purposely left some white area of snow so that I could add 
words for use as a greeting card if desired.

Sleigh Ride

"Sleigh Ride"
Let's take a step back in time and just imagine
ourselves living in a small town where everyone enjoyed
 walking down the streets to visit with their friends and neighbors, singing carols
and just celebrating this beautiful winter holiday season together.
What a delightful time that must have been!
Happy New Year!!!

"Home for the Holidays"

"Home for the Holidays"
I was asked to create this beautiful home portrait and
then turn it into holiday greeting cards.
We were quite pleased with the way it turned out.
This was such a big project - but so worth the effort!
