Painting Pink Again!

Hi everyone! I am really trying to post more often but I have been working 24/7.! I guess that is a good thing? I have visited so many of your wonderful blogs , still have more to go! I have to say, I feel a bit intimidated.!!You are all so creative, witty and have such wonderful things to post! When I finally sit down to post something, I go blank! Maybe it is my age or I am working too hard! !So instead of waiting for something that hits me ( which has been too long) I'd like to share a few pieces with you that I really enjoyed painting. So, back to painting pink and what fun it is as always! Ouu lal la, had allot of fun with Paris Hats and shoes! A bit of Marie Antoinette, don't you just love her clothes!The desk set was also really enjoyable to create as all pieces had to be different yet work together as a set.

Well, I will keep trying to come up with something that is interesting to post!

Hope you enjoyl Be back soon!

Hugs,

Debi

Thank you!

Hi everyone! First I want to thank Penny from Lavender Hill Studio for introducing me on her blog! It was such a sweet thing for my new friend to do for me, and again I can't thank her enough! After posting my " Finally Published", I woke up the next morning to find so many wonderful comments, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning! So my second thank you goes to everyone who left a comment and visited me. I am so looking forward to reading each and every one of your blogs. I only wish I could do it all in one day, but actually, I am getting glasses tomorrow and will make reading on the computer for a long period of time so much easier! I have been working in cyber space for so long, that at times can get very lonely, so I am thrilled to have so many people to visit! I will be seeing you all soon. Thank you so much for your kind words and praise.

I am looking forwad to getting to know all of you!

Have a great night!

Hugs,

Finally Published!

A bit of a change from pink roses, but fun none the less. I am so excited! Six years ago I illustrated " How Mice became Small" by Zev Lewinson and finally it is being published! It is in it's marketing stage right now, soon to follow with the final publication . Zev's magical story made illustrating an exiting adventure for me and a true labor of love.Looking at the red head in the illustration reminded me of what a long process this has all been, but in the end, it is worth it! By the way, the red head is my son Matthew, who yesterday got his drivers license!That is scary!!"How Mice became Small" is a wonderful story for all ages and with a moral too, which is pretty hard to find in children's books today.I have just started illustrating my second book although I can't say what it is, but it is another advneture I am looking forward to. Lets hope this one doesn't take so long!. I hope you enjoy taking a peek at a few pictures from the book!Thanks so much for visiting!

Hugs,

On my website

Today was one of those days that I never left the computer.Do you have those days?

Since I had such a great time putting together a slide show the other day, I decided to print some of my rose photographs and are now available on my website. Yes, pink, but I think blue Hydrangeas are next! I hope you like them!

Have a great Thursday night!

Be back tomorrow.

My Inspiration

For the love of roses I made this slide show beloow to give my husband credit and thank him for being such an inspiration to me. All these beautiful roses that are in my slide show come from his garden . Always a wonderful work in progress! Michael's talent is only surpased by his love for nature. So once again I would like to thank him for filling my mind and my pallet with such beauty and incredible inspiration!

As I am learing my way around computers, I had such a great time putting together my favorite photgraphs that I have taken, the only problem is that the slide show was supposed to be on the bottom of my page! Oh dear! Once I think I know what I am doing, I wind up doing the opposite! In any event, I hope you enjoy it!
Hope to see you all soon!
