SOME NEW ART FOR WHOLESALE SHOW

I've been very busy designing new artwork for my big wholesale show coming up in August.  This also means I need to have designs for Christmas!  I'm giving a sneak preview of a few of my newest ones!


I'll have at least 12 Christmas and winter designs

these two are "new" throwbacks to when I was doing paper

collage work before I started incorporating more of my painting. 



 

I hope to post pics of my gardens.  I need to get a new camera though.  My strawberries are coming in better than last year, but the blueberries aren't.  I need to get out there and WEED - I've been too busy painting!  that's all for now, xoxo lauriejeanne

NEW ART

    I LOVE THIS WEATHER!  My computer is right next to a window so I can feel the warm breezes come through as I work and look out over the pond and nature.  When my grandchildren were down over Mother's Day, they picked out all my flowers and did some planting for me and it all looks great! 
    I am getting my fall line ready.  I am SO excited, I have a booth at the Mpls Mart temporary wholesale show in August!!!!!  I am now repping myself, so Jerry and I will also "go on the road" over the summer also.  I will have a ton of new designs, new palette, AND now in FRAMES!  From 3.5"x 5" to 11"x14" and in various styles and finishes.
    Here are two of them:

Mother's Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day.  I sure did.  My daughter and 4 grandchildren came down for the weekend on Friday.  Then on Saturday, we celebrated early with my Mom and family with the first cookout of the year.  Then my 2 older granddaughters and I did art projects.  They made these as a 12x12 entirely on their own which I then scanned and resized into magnets.  I think they turned out pretty awesome!

I think they both have a great sense of design and color.  I'm so proud of them!  That's all for now!        xoxo lauriejeanne

I'm really loving this spring weather!  Not too cold, not too hot.  It's good to get back out in my gardens - I need to get all the leaves out.  I vacuum them up which shreds them up and then use them again as mulch.  I am for sure going to put Preen on so I don't have to do so much weeding.  This year I am going to get back to planting my everlastings which I dry and sell in bunches.  I haven't done that for about 3 years, so this is the year I do it.  Artemesia, Sweet Annie, larkspur, nigella, poppies, giant hyssop, I also grow lots of herbs both for cooking and dried bunches for crafts - sage, thyme, lambs ears, oregano, cilantro.  I never have any luck with rosemary.  I'm just itchin' to get to the local garden center!  I grow a lot of the unusual things from seed.  I'll post pics of my gardens for sure!
