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!

Check out my Slide Show!

Hi Everyone!

I can't believe I have not been on my blog for so long! Life has certainly thrown more than it's share of family challenges my way and have kept me away from sitting down and writting! Now finally over the hump and hopefully on to the brightside of life, I wanted to say hi to everyone! I have been working 24/7 and sometimes wonder if I don't paint in my sleep! I thought I would share some of the pieces I have been working on. I have had some lovely cusotmers that have given me the oportunity to create some fun pieces. Sorry, not pink, but in blue which was a lovely pallet to work in and other colors as well.

I hope you are all well and enjoying the summer! See you all soon!

Have a wonderful day!

Working and working and working!

Hi Everyone,
I wish I had something wonderful to write about but all I have been doing is working and working! Don't get me wrong, I love to work, but it seems like it has been sun up to sun down. My husband lost his job right befoe the holidays, so I have been burning the midnight oil! Here are few of my new pieces. The Antique window is available on my webiste http://www.debicoules.com/. The other piece was a Blackksmith's tote, for carring his horseshoes and other parafinalia. Made a great magazine holder! I wonder what he would say if he saw it now??! Pink horshoes, now that is an idea! I hope you are all enjoying life! Thanks for visiting, better get back to work!
