New Website - dianeflowersart.com

Announcing my new artwork website - http://www.dianeflowersart.com/ -  Take a few minutes today to relax and sit down with a cup of your favorite coffee or tea and tour my new website.  After selecting 'Paintings and Prints' then select your favorite pieces of art to see the variety of options for ordering giclee prints along with a large selection of mats and frames available from Artspan's frame shop.  The above picture is just one example of the many options available.

Sugar

Sugar is her name for a reason.  She loves to kiss everybody, and in the south we like to call it 'shhugaa'.  You've done it, that sweet little kiss on the rosey part of your favorite persons' cheek that means "I love you" and "You are special to me".  Our orange tabby kitty has perfected the delivery of that sweet little kiss, although not always on the cheek.  She gives away her sweet kisses to everybody and in return everybody loves her.  I wonder if she knows how special her kisses are?  This picture was made while she was posing outside on our deck lounge chair watching birds fly around last spring.  When they come too close she barks at them, a muffled little 'woof', and crouches down ready to jump if they come any closer.  Maybe someday I can capture that in a photo. 

Twilight on Etsy

New artwork added to Etsy.  The night skies are so inspiring.  The bright fall colors seem to absorb the sunlight during the day and reflect the moonlight during the night.  I love watching the sun go down and the beautiful autumn glow that appears in the late afternoons.  Keep watching for more night skies to come.

Really like this picture of my Acorn Door Packages design.  Click on the link below to visit the Creative Home Arts Club and to see how you can make your own version of this alternative to a wreath.

Fall Wreath

You can make this beautiful and simple fall design for yourself.  Find some realistic artificial fruit; three oranges, three apples and three pomegranates, some silk ranunculus and hydrangea, artificial grapes, eucalyptus and fall leaves and use this photo as a placement guide.  Trim some wooden skewers to approximately 3 inches and insert them into the fruits and then into the wreath shape then fill in around them using the other materials.  You can add more materials or use fewer materials to make it any size you like.  Add a wire loop hanger to the back and you have your own beautiful and unique design.  This wreath was made with a 14 inch wreath of Styrofoam(tm) brand foam.   What a great personalized thank you gift for friends, family or neighbors.
