Some New Artwork and Photography...& Some News


"Scottie Portrait" this one comes framed...

Good Tuesday morning all! I have been working on several commission pieces..and managing to get in a few that my fingers were itching to do. I have made a few head pooch decisions this week..for one I have dropped my website. So...the link is gone and I will be listing things on Etsy and my selling blog now. I will continue to take commission pieces..I so love creating things just for you..what a joy that is. Frankly I just could not justify the time I was spending, or the money for that matter!! So when my renewal came up..I decided it was time to cut it loose. So pop by my selling blog this week..I will be adding new work and redecorating. Shhhhh it is a secret..but I may also have a giveaway there..

Springy Easter Basket. matted.


I have also been working on my camera skills. My Rebel required..OK my perfectionist side wants to understand how to make this bad girl fly...out of point and shoot mode. I have been making a study of Tink. I bought myself one tax treat this year...a telephoto lens. Not a huge one but a good one to start on. So I have been getting a few across the yard shots. Here are a couple I liked.


Some serious bug stalking going on here...

I loved this shot of Fox..it has been VERY warm this winter..the kids were outside having some fun yesterday. Some serious stalking going on here too!! LOL:)

So even though it is still white and wintery in most of the county...we have Spring popping here. Sorry guys..my only comfort in showing you these shots..is last year we had seven feet of snow at this point! I understand...I really do.
It is suppose to be nearly 70 here today! Very strange! This was the thermometer on Sunday afternoon!


My garlic is already almost 4 inches high!! Let us hope there is not a heavy freeze coming!

Hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday! Hugs and Namaste, Sarah

Your garlic looks great! The only way I can have plants at all here is inside. Too many critters who want to share the crops.

Looks like you're getting to grips with the new camera Sarah.
The stalking 'Tinks' is a great shot. Love the way his left eye is framed with the grass.
Good shot of Fox too.

I think we have had a worse winter than yours!!

Love the photos of Tink-I'm still figuring out my new Canon Rebel. It is definitely smarter than me :-)

In love and light~

That leap from auto to manual is always a bit intimidating but so so worth it. Glad you are trying it.
The cat pictures are great.

Kathy said...

I found your blog through Brenda LaBell's blog. I love the pictures of your cat, great shots by the way. Photography is a passion of mine as well. I'm still figuring out my DSLR camera.

Bright blessings,

Hi Sarah, I missed you while I was out of town. time flies and I feel so out of touch. Thanks for this post catching us up on some of the wonderful things going on in your life. Your artwork and photos, as always, are gorgeous! But your garlic is the one that caught me by surprise. 4 inches tall already! It still feels like winter to me (and I live in So. Calif!) so I'm glad to see spring really is just around the corner!

Take care and keep creating!
