Pothos tangled within the vintage pottery

Plants give me inspiration. Green is my favorite color. Goodwill finds are thrilling. This cute pothos houseplant looks fine within the thrift store vintage pot. When a unique looking item is discovered, it brings me joy. I know you won't be able to find another one like it anywhere. He's special and one of a kind. And my tangled pothos lives within this treasure.

My VISION for art on your wall. Chichi Chihuahua painted portrait. Modern Queen Dog.

My love for these wall display templates is beyond amazing. If you are an artist selling your art then this is the BEST marketing tool!! Ariana Falerni Design. I purchased these a couple of years ago and added them to my website for my photography clients. I played with them last year and now I have fallen in love all over again. Had to re learn how to place my art within this super duper cool room with a couch. But, Photoshop is like riding a bike for me, you struggle a bit at first but within minutes you feel it. You know it. It's in you. I stepped away from it simply because I was frustrated with the speed. Among many other things. Painting is an extension of my photography for me. It opens up serious possibilities. More freedom. More creativity. Making, creating, designing, producing and receiving complete joy and satisfaction.

Custom Painted Pet Portraits. Furby. Pomeranian. Modern dog portrait.

Launching custom painted portrait service on ETSY. You email me a clear photo of your pets face. I will paint it on a 12X12'or 20X20"canvas using my style and sprinkling it with his/her personality. In 2-3 weeks upon completion, I mail you a ready to hang work of art to your home! It's certainly a lengthy process to set up online but in order for me to get it right the first time I NEED to work like a sloth and focus like a hawk. I have a collection of portraits that I'm adding to and working on a commission art piece currently that I'm super excited about! Will include not only pets but other wildlife down the road soon too! I think raccoons are on my list. Another favorite animal! My style is modern folk art peppered with whimsy. I may come up with a better description later. But for now this is what I got. Stay tuned...

Vintage Christmas gift tags found at summer garage sale

Collection of vintage Christmas gift tags

A lovely collection of vintage Christmas gift tags found at a neighborhood garage sale. I think I paid a dime or something ridiculous for the whole mess of them. My favorite holiday is Halloween but when I come across a feeling from my childhood, I can't pass it up. This is grade school feelings when innocent kids have no worries. The artwork reminds me of Rankin and Bass. Rudolf, Hermie and little drummer boy. Doe eyed children and puppies. Sweet Retro Christmas. A pile of Lovelies.
