Happy Bees on Flowers

I recently painted a colorful painting in the Ukrainian Petrykivka style. I added some cute little bees at my mother's request (save the bees!).  Even though bees aren't typical in traditional Petrykivka, I thought they came out nicely. I like to do my own twists on the things I learn.

I also uploaded the design to Redbubble, if you would like to peruse the fabulous products they offer and order something with my little bees and pretty flora.

They have a wide range of things to choose from: clothing, smartphone covers, tablet covers, notebooks, wall art, scarves, clocks, travel mugs, coffee mugs.  Just about anything!

The Secret Life of Towel Bars





Our new spice rack was once an old, ugly, abandoned towel bar trapped in the wrong body.  I helped it find its true identity with some paint and a scrap piece of wood.  This was painted with some of my cat's fur glued onto a toothpick.  You don't need fancy tools or materials to make cool stuff. I just wanted a simple way to access our favorite @penzeys2.0 spice blends.
PS: Ignore the awful 1986 wallpaper!

Teal Unicorn-Colored Square Mandala






Ding, fries are done. 🍟I’ve reached a stopping point (I think) on this latest little color nugget. Believe it or not, I used the same leftover colors mixed from my barn quilt. Because I hate wasting paint!

Are You Really Mine?

Finally done! And this one is going to a fabulous person at MoPop (the museum formerly known as Experience Music Project a.k.a., my old job) today.

I've included a picture of what it looks like under black light. Wooooo......

The stars are dancing like diamonds in the moonlight

When I was a young kidlet, I begged my mom to send me a Shaun Cassidy tape to play on my crappy old tape recorder while I was away at sleep away camp. And to my delight and surprise, she actually sent it.  Doo Ron Ron was the popular song, but I actually preferred Hey Deanie, and wow, look at what 45 turned up over 4 decades later, somewhere at a garage sale in Texas (courtesy of my sweet mom AGAIN). It brought back all the central  Texas summer sunshine memories of the late 1970s.  Also, this painted record glows under black light. Wooooo!

Oh hello, Jimmy Page. I see you hiding in there behind Mr. Cassidy.

Will You be Staying After Sunday

I'm painting another record. Can you taste the rainbow? (PS: This 45 is called The Peppermint Rainbow.) I must therefore use all the colors.
Be sure to search up “Will You be Staying After Sunday” by The Peppermint Rainbow 🌈 on YouTube. Listen to the song on this record I’m painting. SO VERY AWESOME.
