Some Summer and Autumn Art

 Thank you, dear blog friends, for your words of encouragement and support on my last post. I think the cardioversion was successful -- at least, it was that day. Whether it sticks or not we'll see. But I'm very behind on life in general, so please forgive me if I don't reply to your last comments or am slow to visit. Doing my best to catch up!

As I was pulling together things for next week's art sale, I realized I hadn't shared a lot of art from this summer or fall. Some of these are will be included in inventory for the November sale, others are for fun and a few are pieces from the Este MacLeod color challenges, which means they are really out of my comfort zone!


Here we go!

Paintings (5x7 will be matted to 8x10)

 

Sunset view from Sugar Mountain, NC
Autumn Lake View
Mary's Holiday Pup

It Don't Mean a Thing If You Ain't Got Those Strings (I still need to add a bit of detail to this one)
Mary's Dog, Autumn
Lavender Hill

 

Cards (original watercolors, suitable for framing)

 

Crazy Cat 1, Inspired by an Este MacLeod Tutorial

Crazy Cat 2, Inspired by an Este MacLeod Tutorial
Crazy Cat 3, Inspired by an Este MacLeod Tutorial
Poppy Trio, horizontal
Poppies, Vertical
Trees in Love, inspired by a vintage postcard
Happy Birthday card

 

Color Challenges 

(We were required to use only certain colors and, if we wanted, black, along with a theme) These are way outside my comfort zone! None of these are in sale inventory, just my sketchbook.

Theme: Fashion
Theme: Feminine
Theme: Foliage

Theme: Fur
Theme: Fish

 

Sketchbook Miscellany

 

Wonky Look at the Back of the Cottage

 Felties

(I also have a robin, wine bottle, chickadee, goldfish and a couple others that haven't been photographed yet. All of these are ornaments.)

 There's still plenty to do for the sale -- lots of packaging, matting, and lots more wool to poke! But it's all fun!

The Wonky back of the cottage is a winner. The view reminds me if squirrels tossing down pinecones.

You produce a lot. I am no longer displaying photos anywhere. If I ever nab another printer, I might, but I also think I will be happy to just print for my own enjoyment. Sorta "bin there an dun that" sorta thing.

I especially like the first two, and the poppies, which are very appropriate at this time of the year as well.
Good luck selling.

Your paintings and felties are lovely! I hope you do well at the sale.
I didn't know you had a connection to Sugar Mtn. I lived in Banner Elk and on Beech Mtn. for years. I shopped at the Food Lion near the entrance to Sugar Mtn. every week.

Good luck with all your sales, Jeanie. Do you not sign your works? I am sure buyers will wish to brag they have an original Coope!

Glad you came through your procedure, and that it is working. Hang in there! Your art is wonderful.

You take it easy. I follow someone who NEVER comments on my blog. I just have to do me. Take care.
Your art is amazing.

My name is Erika. said...

What a great collection of art today Jeanie. It's like visiting a museum and not having to get up off the couch, which is about all I want to do right now.Between the smiling trees and that cat with his mouth wide open you've made me smile this morning. Hope the cardioversion works. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. hugs-Erika

Terrific! I love the cats in particular -- so expressive!

Sharon in Las Cruces NM said...

Wow, what a delightful eyeful of color in ALL your paintings. poppies are ones I love and the yellow colors of the girl in rain boots is card material for sure; so get some ready they are so sell-able girlfriend. glad your health is being monitored and you are taking care of yourself. you inspire me to remember I can do my watercolor work as well as paper art card creations. Good Luck with the art sale for your group!

I really like the abstract feel of Theme: Foliage. I just was looking through some Christmas things last weekend and came across the felted squirrel and cardinal you did. They are so precious! You really are developing in all aspects of your art(s)!

Wonderful...hope the Cardio sticks. Love all your paintings...I think you should do a series of Cats, and have them printed...for sale, they are adorable! Hugs, Sandi

Prims By The Water said...

My favs were all of those pups and kitties. They made me smile. I did like the barn scenery too. I think it is because it reminded me of my gramma H's barn. Janice

I couldn't leave you a comment until now because the battery in my keyboard died. Dead! It took forever for it to recharge. Good to read your cardioversion turned out good.

You have given us a plethora of amazing art. I love the ones in your sketchbook. You should do more of those, I also LOVE the cat and the landscapes. I think your art will; sell quite well, dear Jeanie.
