Monday's delivery...

GOOD MORNING...how are you all? It's a fresh -2 here this morning...and really beautiful out.All our sicknesses have cleared...yippy...and my body thanked me for my early morning run today...sometimes you just have to get out there!

So, this is the painting I was working on recently...and finished last week...but couldn't show you all until I had delivered it.

 The client is from the Meditteranean and loves the pretty feminine colours of lavender but asked for more yellows and less prominant mountains in the distance...

 Hey...that's what custom Artwork is all about...making the client happy!

ANd she was very happy...
I have 4 commissions this week to finish...and am volunteering at the girls School today...and Wednesday...it's a busy week, but a GREAT week...it's also Mr.R's Birthday on Wednesday! So I am prepping for that too.

These are their surprise lunch notes I added to our Girl's packs this morning :

Our 2 little princesses.

I have to get to work...but wanted to wish you all a wonderful Monday...tomorrow we're going to be talking about Advent Calendars here on our blog, I have many images to show you. SO... if you celebrate Christmas...is this part of your tradition?

HUGS to our bright and cheery Monday.

P is for PIG, Peas, Princess, Prince, Pink, Purple and Patterns...

this could be one of the letters which I'll enjoy most...the colours are pretty and it's all about faiytales.
We've been reading the Real Princess-A Mathemagical Tale by Juliet Stevenson,Brenda Williams and Sophie Fatus...it's has an storytime CD attached to the book which my girls thoroughly enjoyed.
Sophie Fatus has illustrated 10 books for Barefoot books writers...I love her work...I can't for the Life of me find a link to her website or blog to share though...

I know I am behind with my to-do's...but just taking each day as it comes...an artist can't cram in creativity if the feeling ain't there!
Have a glorious day...I know I will...it's open house at our girl's Ballet School...so we get to see our little Miss A and little miss J dance their hearts out...
Little Miss J said "Mummy, I promise to point really well..." so cute.
