Mini 4x6" original oil painting "Spring Bouquet"

"Spring Bouquet"

I bought quite a few small wooden boards and this is the first "mini" painting on one of those.  I am finding that as I paint more consistently, even in the midst of alot of things going on in my life it IS becoming easier to just get in there (my art room) and paint.  My husband has built a wall of shelving across one side for storage and tho it isn't finished yet I am so appreciating all his hard work and love feeling so much more organized and inspired.

Original Neely Gomez Prismacolor Pencil Drawing "Hopeful Roses"

"Hopeful Roses"

My husband sent me these beautiful roses for my 60th birthday (which was on Thanksgiving), our 28th wedding anniversary and also as a cancer survivor  honoring breast cancer awareness.  I am so blessed with all the gifts I've been given, the most precious being life itself and the plusses of having good health, wonderful loving and generous family and friends, a home, food, all the necessities of life and more abundance than I ever hoped for.  So looking forward to the Christmas season as it is the most blessed time of the year and most fun for me.  My husband is building me storage shelves along one wall of my artroom and is almost done -- they are wonderful and so useful.  Been working on a pastel drawing of Thanksgiving flowers my brother sent & finishing a mini oil floral ... pictures to follow.
