Winter Wonderland ~ EBSQ Art of the Day

SOLD
1.5" X 1.5" Miniature Acrylic Painting in Glass Locket


At EBSQ this piece of mine is "EBSQ Art of the Day"
It's been awhile since a painting of mine has been featured on the front page at EBSQ, not that I'm complaining, but the funny thing is, if I remember correctly, the last piece that was featured was an ACEO cardinal painting I did some time ago.

Have a beautiful day!

INSPIRATION ALL AROUND US ~ Week 5


Photograph by Dana Marie

This is the photograph I have posted for this weeks' inspiration picture of the week over at "Inspiration All Around Us"

This was not my first pick, though, I do love this photograph. I took it last year of this humming bird attracking beauty hanging on my porch at our old house in Lincoln City, Oregon. This weeks photo was to be one or both of my lighted lawn deers in the snow, however, the photographs did not turn out as I'd hoped. I will try again and I may end up posting two pictures for this week. However, if that does not happen, hope you enjoy this one.

Please, come join us!
Simply send your email address to me at danamarieart@yahoo.com with "Inspiration All Around Us" in the subject line. Again, this is not just for artists that paint, I would love for all types of artists that creates something they can share with the blog.

Have a beautiful day!

"Strength by Love" ~ A Gift to a Mother

"Strength by Love"
I had mentioned in a previous blog post about a woman, Meaghan , who has created "Giving Gifts Warms the Heart". This program which is setup so that those who are drawn to do so can give something they created in which they then can send it to someone who is battling cancer and need their spirits lifted.

I decided to send this piece out to a mother who has a 5 year old son who is battling cancer. As a mother of a wonderful son, my heart went out to this lady and I will be sending this piece to her in the next couple days. I wish I could do more, but I truly hope this at least brings a smile across her face.

Note: If you know someone that you would like to add to the list or if you would like to give, please, email Meaghan at
megse5@netscape.net
I have known several cancer surivors and I know something like this would touch their heart for years to come.

Lockets ~ Inspiration Pieces of the Week

SOLD
1 1/2" X 1 1/2"
Acrylic on Canvas in Glass Locket


1 1/2" X 1 1/2"
Acrylic on Strathmore Linen Paper in Glass Locket
SOLD

These two pendant pieces were created for this weeks inspiration challenge over at "Inspiration All Around Us".

Hope Everyone is having a beautiful day! It's white outside here today! In fact, it started last night as my husband, son and I went Christmas shopping...what an experience it made for the drive home. We nearly hit a car that slide through a red light, causing us to brake and slide through the intersection. We are all safe, but it was it as shock to our 10 year old son, as he's not used to this weather as he's lived most of his life on the Oregon Coast.

So, stay safe and warm!

"Patience" ~ Acorn Locket

SOLD
Feedback from Buyer: beautiful work, thank you!

I simply love acorns....they bring thoughts of the Holiday Season. Just last month, my son found one while on a walk with his Nana when she was visiting last and he brought it home for me as a gift. It was so tiny and perfect! Another reason for me to love acorns.
Have a Beautiful Day!

"Inspiration All Around Us"


I have created a new blog, "Inspiration All Around Us"! I was inspired by Karin Jurick's blog, "Different Strokes by Different Folks". I came across her blog a week or so ago and I absolutely love to view the paintings posted by all the different artists...what a beautiful idea! A great idea that spurred the idea for my newest blog.

If you would like to join "Inspiration All Around Us", please send me a message with your name, user name, and a link to your work at danamarieart@yahoo.com with "Inspiration All Around Us" in the subject line.

Aftering being added to the blog you may post your inspired painting, jewelry, or pottery here for all to see.

You will then be able to post 1 to 3 pieces per challenge with a link to your artwork (blog, shop, or homepage).

I would also appreciate if you could write a description below your work to share with others which part(s) of the picture was your inspiration for your artwork.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Have a beautifully inspired day!
