Lucky!

Some lucky people got Laura Marsh original artwork for Christmas this year!

A friend commissioned me to design a family tree for a loved one. I'm delighted by how it turned out. I regret that I didn't have this painting professionally scanned prior to giving it to its new owner. The digital image I made doesn't do it justice.

This next one was a gift to my pal, PG. She really liked it. Both creations were painted on cold pressed watercolor board (my favorite).

I'm going back to playing with my Strathmore artist trading cards now. I know those cards are primarily about packaging. After all, I have a paper cutter. I could have easily taken my paper of choice and cut down trading card-sized pages on my own, but buying a pack from Jerry's proved much more fun. Stay tuned...

At long last, this gorgeous painting is in the hands of its proud owner, which is a good thing, because sometimes it's hard for me to part with my art. I am happy it is in its new home, and I'm equally glad the digital copy I made of it turned out so true-to-life so I can share it with you.

Special thanks to Moochie whose napping prowess is second only to Kiwi's. Dream is a Laura Marsh original--acrylic on canvas--and I am donating it to this year's SPCA Fur Ball. The Fur Ball is a wonderful way to support the Wake County SPCA and all the animals they save. Please consider supporting your local SPCA.
