Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

So, in case anyone wants to look at cute kid Christmas pictures, here they are.  :)  A proud mama has to show off her cutie pie each chance, so why not publicly for the world to see?

What a great way to spend the week - with my two favorite boys. 

Meanwhile, over the Christmas break I had a few more prints featured.  One of which is my most favorite print, Rosepetals on the Gunpowder.  This was a once-in-a-lifetime shot.  The guys and I were out on a hike along the Gunpowder river and along with the setting sun and beautiful fall colors was a line of multi-colored rose petals on the bank of the river.  What a great shot this was.  There must have been a wedding or something that had just taken place.

Here's the beatiful treasury it was featured in:  My New Year's Resolution by Liberty Originals.

The carnival print was featured again here. 

My winter's bridge print was featured again here. 

Thanks again to my fellow Etsyans for the wonderful community and venue provided to promote art.  It's really great networking with such talented artists. 

Happy New Year to all!!  May it be a safe, happy, and healthy one.

XOXO,



Merry Christmas!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas weekend.   I spent much time with my adorable son & wonderful husband with our families.  Hopefully, I'll be able to sort through the 800 pictures I took this weekend. 

Yesterday, two more prints were featured. (SWEET!)  Here they are, along with the treasuries with some talented artists.

Have A Little Wine to Help With that Whine

Wine bottles at the Mercer Kitchen in New York City (SoHo).  I'm thinking about getting this printed for our kitchen. 

All Circus Without the Clowns

Really cool treasury!!  The carnival print was featured again here.  :)



Treasuries Galore!!

I've kind of been off the computer for the past day or so, but when I logged back in to Etsy this morning, I was so delighted to see that quite a few prints were featured in several treasuries.  Much thanks to the artists who chose my prints.  :)

Here are the treasuries featured and the story behind each featured print.

Things I Love by DianesCloset
My Rustic Bridge print was featured here.  I was out on a hike with my boys one fall day and the lighting was just perfect hitting this bridge over the Gunpowder River in Maryland.  This photo was taken with my old (as in 13 years old) film SLR camera and before I had the luxury of PhotoShop Elements.  It still works great!

Happy New Year by Sineminugar

My Pearl Paints print was featured here today.  I LOVE THIS TREASURY!!  Super fun bright colors fitting for Christmas and Valentines Day.  Definitely check it out.   This picture is of the Pearl Paints store on Canal Street in New York City.  This building was so eye catching and seemed to fit perfectly along the knockoff shops and vendors outside (and also, might I add, the weed dealers who didn't try to hide their sales or use one bit).  It was cold and rainy, but you can't really tell from this print.  It was a fun trip and I can't wait to head back up there again.

There's Something Strange and Powerful about Black and White Imagery

This is plainly and simply one of the lights outside our house this year.  I was actually just playing with my camera after admiring my husband's hard work outside on the decorations and thought this little, simple picture turned out pretty cool. 

Inagodadavida by BoHoArtists
This was the day after I received my DSLR camera and of course had to experiment with everything.  These were the beautiful flowers that my 21-month-old son picked for my birthday.  Photo was taken with a diffuser filter.  Love the colors and soft effects.  Of course, I love the flowers so much - especially the sunflower.  My favorite!





Edgy by MRSBAUBLES

My most popular print on Etsy was featured here today - the Winter Berry Silhouette.  This print almost didn't happen.  I just happened to wander outside for some fresh air on Thanksgiving and looked up and shot using one of my soft focus filters.  A grey sky and a dark tree made for a perfect print. 

All Circus Without the Clowns
This was actually taken at a family-friendly Christmas carnival.  However, I found a dark side of the carousel and under-exposed a little to get some cool effects.

Very, Very Vintage Christmas
Just a piece of our Christmas tree on macro.  :)

 

Thanks to all my fellow Etsyans for featuring these prints.  May everyone have a very Merry Christmas weekend.   :)

XOXO,
