A Hummingbird Blessing

July 13, 2015 by riasharon

hummingbird-blessing

Do you have a special fondness for hummingbirds? They have always held special meaning for me — symbolizing the sweetness and joy of life. So I’m delighted to share, not only this magical creature but also an accompanying joyful blessing with each print.

This limited edition is of my most popular gouache painting to date, of a Purple-throated Woodstar. This species is native to South America and in real life measures only 2.5 inches from tip to tail — so this 4×6 print is close to life size!

I am making a series of 12 of these prints and offering them as a signed and numbered edition. With each one, you’ll also find on the back a hand-lettered blessing composed especially for you. Buy yours here.

My latest design, listed on Etsy tonight. A good reminder for my teen girl. And for me. ;P

Still Here.

February 21, 2015 by riasharon

It’s been a crazy week. Everyone was sick. But for accountabilities sake, I wanted to post what I’ve been up to. I finished this piece last weekend:

I also asked Henry to help me with new product shots for my Etsy store. These are just a couple. It’s a different kind of creativity but it was really fun trying my hand at merchandising and “display.” I tried to think of my shop as an actual storefront… and what would draw shoppers into the store.

Take a look at the new storefront. Oh yeah, I made a new banner too.

Bigger is Better?

Henry got a piece printed for me… really big! <3

It’s going in my office as soon as I we can figure out how to hang it. I’m just thrilled that it held up, since I created it at 8×8.

I submitted a slate/blue version for West Elm. If you feel like voting for me, I’d appreciate it. Voting ends on Wednesday. There are over 5,200 entries in this challenge. It’s kinda crazy.

I won!

January 31, 2015 by riasharon

Whut?! Remember a couple of weeks ago when I posted this? It was my very first art challenge submission for Minted.com.

So tonight, I got an email notification that someone congratulated me. Huh?! My piece won a jury’s pick award!

I can’t even really talk about it, I’m so surprised. Hence, I’m reverting back to teen-speak… so, yeah… I’d like to thank The Academy (the minted academy anyway), but you probably won’t read this.

For my one reader (who is not my mom), you’ll know when the print is officially offered on the site. Yup, I’m officially officially Minted! 🙂
