Artist Renee Mak

Today I want to share the artist   Mindy Lacefield and her fabulous art! I've followed her on Etsy, called Tim's Sally ,  for quite a while and in the process, found her blog .   She's sold over 2000 items on etsy and has everything from original paintings, prints, t-shirts, magnets, ornaments, digital art and much more! She's a mixed media artist who uses texture, bright colors and whimsey to  bring her subjects to life.  I love her paint strokes and innocent charm each  painting holds.  I'd really love to take one of her  workshops , which you can get on her website or at a retreat, such as artfest . She's even written and illustrated a book called " hinkle's hunch " Really looks like a cute book... and very inspirational since  putting a book together has long been on my to do list! Tell me what you like best about her work!

It's the little things that make life nice...  like summer flowers, quiet Sunday afternoons... and sitting in my cozy little place listening to the birds sing. It's accidently finding something that  makes me laugh out loud...  like a French Bulldog blowing a bubble... or something that reminds me of my child, far away at college... (she often talks in a fake British accent)! It can be finding secrets in an old journal... or just relaxing in a favorite chair... or two. It's the little things, like staring into a beautiful painting... wondering how to actually dive into it... and celebrating the little things with streamers and balloons... and dressing up for no reason at all. It's having your cake and eating it too! All of these things, these little things, can really make life nice! Have a great day!!!

Ah... the first day of March is going to be beautiful here in  the midwest!   Along with that comes thoughts of Spring... songbirds... flowers... and soft colors. ...enjoy! All of these awesome photos are from some very awesome Etsy sellers!   Make their day and visit their shops... Have a great day!
