VINTAGE CHRISTMAS

Hello,

December is coming and going way faster than I had planned!  This has been a VERRRYY BUSY month...which I'm sure is true for all of you also.  We ended November with hosting Thanksgiving and it was such a fun day.  Then the next weekend was the Bainbridge Island Studio Tour.  I have to tell you how amazing it was!  I had such a great time and was able to talk to so many interesting people.  This was my second Stuio Tour and there were lots of repeat customers from the summer tour, and such positive feedback on my work.  Thanks to all of you that have supported me in my art.  I came away from that event feeling totally encouraged and inspired.  Here is a little peek at my booth at the Studio Tour.

The picture at the top was from a photo that I took at the Seabold Vintage Market last summer.  I was able to get several photos there that were my inspirations for my Christmas paintings this year. 

"Vintage Christmas"

"Santa's Visit"

Now I have to put some real effort into getting ready for Christmas myself!   We are really scaling back this year so that should help it to not be too overwhelming.  Our church is doing something called "The Advent Conspiracy" and I am all on board with it.  If you get a chance, check out the link...it will change the way you think about Christmas.

Here's to your Christmas season being filled with wonder and excitement.  I hope that you find yourself spending quality time with the ones you love and finding an opportunity to help others with the abundance we have.

Blessings,

Meagan

WRAP-UP

Hello again! 
So here is the 3rd painting in my newest series.  I've titled it "Santa's Visit".  I'm really happy with the colors in this piece.  They turned out so vibrant and playful.  I love the old vintage toy car.  I photographed the car at Seabold Vintage Market this summer and placed it next to a photo I took of my christmas tree.  Once I got it drawn out the painting began.  Hope you enjoy the new piece.  Looking forward to the Holiday Bazaar next Tuesday and Wednesday at the Bainbridge Athletic Club.  I will be selling my new images in sets of 4 cards for $15.00 and mated prints for $20.00.  I have been considering if I want to start up an Etsy shop to sell my cards and prints.  So if you would be interested in purchasing any of my artwork leave a comment so that I can get a feel for the interest out there.  I won't be blogging until after next week but I will be checking in.  Hope you all have a great week.

Thanks for stopping by,

Meagan

IT'S SHOWTIME!

Hello Blog friends!

I've been gone for awhile...painting again.  I have two events..."shows" coming up very soon and had to get some painting done for them.  Needless to say...no blogging.  My first show will be in less than 2 weeks (Nov. 17 & 18) at the Bainbridge Athletic Club.  I know...yes, an athletic club.  Every year they have this great Holiday Bazaar and this year I am going to be a part of it.  I am going to try to WOW them with my new Holiday images.  My style has taken a bit of a turn in my new paintings.  A little more...primative possibly...whimsical...child like?  Maybe you can tell me.  At any rate, I had a lot of fun with these paintings.  They took me back to my childhood.  Hope you enjoy them.  I will share them with you throughout the week.  This first one is titled "First Snow".  Oh, before I forget...my second show will be the Winter Studio Tour.  I will be located at the Fenwick Photography Studio very close to town.  So if you happen to be in Seattle and want to take a Ferry ride over it is walking distance from the boat.  The dates for that show are Dec. 4th-6th. 

Take care,

Meagan
