Grandma's Tea Cups

 Grandma's Tea Cups

Inspired by the many tea cups from my grandmother and mother, it was fun to create this whimsical illustration. 

You can find this illustration on many products like the pillow above, just click on this link: Fine Art America

Live! Love! and Laugh!

Here is my newest illustration to brighten up the gray days of winter. Taking a break from letters of the alphabet, I looked for a sentiment, oh how greeting card designer of me, or quote that was uplifting that I could use in a sketch that I was working on. Then during a snow storm, words and art came together and I finished it.

You can find this and other words of wisdom in a collection I called Tea Cup Wisdom on Fine Art America.

Dwell in Possibilities

Dwell in Possibilities 

How many times do we daydream while staring in a cup of tea or coffee?

Here is the newest illustration I completed this month. I have added it to a new collection that I call Tea Cup Wisdom.

Maybe possibilities dwell there in our morning cup...that springs us into our day.

T is for Two Tulips with Tea

T is for Two Tulips with Tea

 

I wanted to illustrate some kind of still life with flowers, yet design another illustrated letter. 

So I compromised. 

 

Beside the obvious T words such as Two Tulips, Tea cup and Teapot, there is Turquoise as well as Tartan.

I've started collecting quotes here and there with the thought that some of them might inspire a design or two.

So here is a little wisdom on a tea cup I'd like to share 

with all of  you. 

 

Sunday Thoughts

Count Your Blessings

This was my start on the other letter C idea which evolved into something else. 

This was going nowhere until today. 

I had a hard time getting to church this morning. I made it which is blessing in itself. I often underestimate the power of going to church. It is like taking vitamins for the spirit. We often overlook the many blessings that are poured into our lives. Large and small they come even in some of our darkest times. Some our subtle till you look back and see their magnificence. The blessing we seem to forget the most is God's unending love for us. It is a blessing we should remember at the beginning and end of each day.

So in my thoughts of blessings, my C for cup evolved into a cup that runs over with heavenly blessings to count and remember. And to remember this:

G O D   L O V E S   Y O U !

Picture Pansies

Pansy Passion

 I use to think of pansies as being old fashioned but I thought they could look a bit contemporary with a different look. So here our some pansies for spring and warmer weather!
