I've been so wrapped up in painting cupcakes lately because of the demand, that I've been neglecting my folk art scenes. This is what came off my brush today and I listed it on eBay. I had so much fun that images are running through my mind of a larger folk art painting soon.
This itsy bitsy 4" x 4" painting is titled:
When you reach the top of "Fairhill" you are struck by the image of two cozy cottages tucked beneath a towering tree. It was planted by Francine and Estelle when they first became neighbors. The tree stood strong and true over the years just like their friendship, growing branches of trust, love, gratitude, and prayers.
The temperature was nearly 80 today and it's only March. I thought a little summer scene was just the thing to work on.
Are you working inside or out in your garden already?
Such a great painting, as always! Haven't started the outside work yet, but sure would like to, this weather is amazing!

I love Fairhill..How do you do it, I am always amazed by your talent. It's always a joy to see your newest paintings. We had wind and rain today down to 57. Gary put the hardware on the kitchen cabinets today while I was at work.I can't believe how knobs and pull handles really change the look of cabinets. We didn't have knobs when we moved into the house 2 years this May, so it was about time. I would really like to get outside and work in the yard,I am hopeing this weekend the weather will be nice enough to do so. Have a sweet day and big hugs, Elizabeth
