New Painting, Pictures, and Plans

I'm finally adding a new painting..

It's been almost a month! 

October was so busy for me, I wasn't able to paint or photograph my newest painting!

This painting has been sitting in my work shop for nearly a month.

So, I thought in the spirit of "New" I should show you guys the new painting.

I call it 

The Bird Keeper.

Birds, and walks through the forest have always been some of my favorite things.
Every time I see a flock of birds I get such a good feeling in my heart.
I love seeing them fly, do little circles in the air, swoop down and land in a tree.
I love when they fly in front of me as I walk,
almost like I'm on the right path, and they are confirming it.


I probably sound silly, but yes, that is what this new painting is all about.
It's 16x20 inches.. Each bird is made from vintage fabric, collected over the years, and given to me.
See the original here, and get prints here.

Also, I know have a new avatar on Etsy...
This is the 3rd time I've ever changed it in all my Etsy life.
Crazy, I know.

It's actually the top one that is the new avatar,
but this is a connected image, used for my new webpage.

This weekend is going to be good.
Tomorrow and Sunday it's supposed to snow,
so I plan on staying indoors with a warm cup of cocoa,
watching X-files, Ghosthunters and Monsterquest..
all while doing my favorite things.
Making hats, and painting.
