I'm Back!

New Mexico Sky

I'm back! Stacys' Art Studio on etsy has been re-opened and I am having a grand re-opening sale. Just use coupon code WEE25 for 25% anything in the store. I apologize for being gone this past week. My family and I moved from the coast of South Carolina back to our home place in New Mexico and it was quite a task! I am almost ready to be back at my easel. Creativity is an odd thing. It seems to me that it's rather sensitive. I seem to need to be in a certain space in my head in order to paint. When life is chaotic I cannot paint. I don't even really think about what I want to work on, but as soon as I am able to calm the chaos down, I'm itching to get back to the easel.


                              This is a piece I was working on right before the chaos came to town!

It's for a friend who inspires me. She's young and has a beautiful heart. She and her husband are about to begin a grand adventure of their own. Every adventure requires some sacrifice. She won't be able to carry much with her so this is a little piece. It's an 8x10. It will fit in a small suitcase and she can take it wherever she likes. It's not finished yet. There must be tree's in love, of course!

This one that I've been teasing about no longer needs to remain a secret.

I painted it for the mother of the bride. She's a very strong woman who is raising four incredible young ladies on her own. Her strength surrounds her little ones.

My  inspiration this week is  Traveler On the Backroads since I recently traveled all of the backroads!

Here's a link to their facebook page.

I'm going to try to dedicate the month of August to my painted ponies! August is the month of horses on the easel! I can't wait! Have a great week everyone and don't forget to take a minute to enjoy a lovely cup of tea!
