Sometimes you just need a bunch of pretty pictures.  Sometimes I do go out. Welcome to the Miracle on 34th Street, Baltimore style!  Imagine a block where all the houses decorate outside with lights, lots and lots of lights.  I do mean all the houses and I do mean lots of lights.  This has been […]

For all of my romantics, here’s our Lovestruck Romeo from Sharon Hendy-Moman.  It’s a wonderful scene with so much detail and movement.  This is a brand new canvas that I hope you will love.  There are miles of pretty ribbon flowers.

Now for something totally different.  A brand new collage from Helen Heins Peterson.  I love collages.  There are so many little gems in a collage.  It’s like 5 mini canvases in one.  What a great sense of gratification to finish an area. This canvas uses all the best colors and beads!  You know I love […]

This is […]
