My NEW Etsy Shop OPENING TODAY

Hello lovelies, How are you all?
I am still here...but have not had a chance to blog recently... (I know,I know...even my Mum keeps asking...when will you be posting more pics?)
I do however have a new Etsy shop opening at 12.01pm EST.
There I will be selling my newest original watercolour paintings...
Some of you have been in contact on Instagram (blueshineart), and know about my new Blue and Grey Bowls and Tea Cups...but for the rest of you...here are a few images.
You can also go to www.blueshineart.etsy.com to see the whole series at 12.01pm EST.
The Shop is full of very reasonably priced originals! GREAT gifts for xmas!

2012

Will be chocka block full of creativity... I hope you'll all join me on the ride :-)
Have a great weekend… we're flying back to Canada over the weekend... So I'm sure you'll see some real Winter pics in the near future... Until then, have a look at the flag how it was flying this morning. Oh, and a few watercolours I just completed.

How's your 2012 so far?

Hugs
Char.

Predictions

I hope you're all well. I have been an awful blogger this month...and haven't gotten around to visiting you all... But I will soon... Things should start to calm down a little now that Christmas concerts are almost over, packing for our trip to Europe is almost done... We are still without snow up here in Ontario... Well those of us who live near the lake, I know just 2 hours north of us has over a foot of snow.
How about you? Do you have snow yet?
Last year this time, our girls were playing outside in it and making snow forts...London airports were being shut down because of the amount of snow they had!
Are we in for a mild winter ? What are your predictions?

I will leave you pondering whilst I show you a few pics of what we have been up to…

Creatures evolving

A stroke of colour... A dab of water... Slowly slowly the animals appear...

a humming Sunday...

I know many, many of you don't just live around the corner...BUT if you do...be sure to check out my Saturday Art Classes.


So this is what I've been doing the majority of the day...who would have known that figuring out and planning could take ALL day!?


Hope you've had a glorious weekend.

Flying high.

 Hello dearest readers...lots of things have been going on in this past week...finishing off the Studio...running an adventure race...spraining my ankle(pretty badly) which has put me out of service for a few days?weeks? who knows? But with Art Camp starting next week I am praying that the Arnica kicks in and heals that foot quickly!!!

I wanted to show you what I have been working on...this post I'll be showing a commission I received from a friend who lost a dear friend last year.She was a dancer...and LOVED to make people smile. I sat with my friend the other day and we went over a few pointers, favourite clothes,colours and how her family remembers her...This is a gift to her family from my friend. Such a lovely idea and I am honoured to have been a part of it.

Hummingbirds are beautiful...we do have them here in Canada...but not as many as I've seen in the Caribbean.
Do you have them where you live?

Tomorrow I'll show you the "teacher gifts" I have been working on.
I can't really show you until I give them to the teacher though.(smile)

Hopefully I'll get to visit your Worlds later...just busy planning Camp.
Have a wonderful Tuesday.
