Free Cards Friday ~ 10x10 Paintings

Good Morning!


It is Do-It Day at my house again! I like these days and have an urge to get some indoor things finished so we can spend time outside in the yard this weekend :)




My littlest one and I planted about 30 bulbs on Wednesday, and the sight of their little sprouts sings Spring to me everytime I walk outside.




It's also Free Cards Friday! Comment on this post (here at the blog or on my Facebook page) and be in the running to win some cards ~ I'll choose the winner on Monday.








For fun, I'm posting all of the Available 10x10 Paintings here - it's so fun to see them as a happy bunch! For more information on these paintings, visit the online Forty Minis Portfolio or the Online Etsy Shop.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Sixth Street Gallery Opening Reception

The opening reception at Sixth Street Gallery took place last night and was a packed house! Thank you to all who came and browsed, visited and took home artwork.

I look forward to the next show!

I enjoyed showing with Angelina Marino and Joel Heidel, whose work is full of joyful and thought-provoking movement. learn more about the work of Marino & Heidel

Thank you, also, to Jen Deale who livened up the show with her talented voice and lovely music ~ I like this blurry photo of Jen at work:

Jen is also a mother of 2, and I like that shared connection.

Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs in my field, since the payment is pure love.
~Mildred B. Vermont

This weekend, my goal is to spend more time reading and playing with my boys, more time walking and chatting, more time baking and resting - and some time each day painting and getting work done :)

Have an inspired weekend (long, I hope)

Thank You.

Love & Sincerely, Katie
