January 2020

Welcome to the New Decade. I am calling these years the Soaring 20's. This is the decade for us to step into our greatness and get on with the purpose of living our most amazing years. May we all soar into this new decade and bring beauty and joy wherever we can.

These two little paintings are part of the 8th Annual BOGO Free Event. There are 9 paintings posted each week. I began posting on Thanksgiving Day and the final post is Jan 2. Get your selections in by January 12th. (I extended it a couple of days). You buy one and get the second one of equal value for free, and it includes shipping in the continental US. Check it all out on the blog.

These two pieces will also be available during the Six Weeks of Giving BOGO event. They are a new size and I just posted them so grab these 2 quick before they are gone. You can have these two for $685 and that includes shipping. Keep one and gift the other, or team up with a friend. Join the collectors club and check the blog or even Facebook for the weekly posts.
