Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving out there. We had a really nice few days. My Dad was in town and it was so great to be able to spend some time with him. James cooked Thanksgiving dinner and it...was...awesome!

News from the Abby Creek Etsy Shop...shipping within the U.S. is free on all artwork until December 1st. All you have to do is use Code FREESHIP when you check out. I also just relisted my painting, "Last One From The Tree" with a special holiday price.

Back soon with some great exhibit news! Have a great Monday!

Finally got a good photograph and a title for my recently finished painting. Might have to make a couple of snippets out of this one! You can email me here if you're interested in purchasing it. It will also be available on Etsy soon.

Have a great Monday!

Surfacing SNIPPET

Milk Snippet

Hello!...and can you believe it's the middle of November already? Sheesh. Anyway...thought I would pop in to show you a few photos that some very special people sent to me. Sara Harley, who recently won my Snippet giveaway sent me the Milk Snippet she chose from my Etsy shop. Thanks, Sara...it looks great in your kitchen! Read Sara's blog post about it here.

...from a distance

The photo below was sent to me by my dear friend, Barbara Guss. She purchased my "Oranges on a Blue Plate" print awhile back and this is now where it happily lives...in her beautiful Santa Fe home. I just love the print with her decor. Thank you, Barbara!

Oranges on a Blue Plate

On another note...I've been workin' away here in the studio although have been stuck on one painting for awhile. I've drawn, scratched, rubbed, scraped and changed colors several times but it just hasn't come together yet. Let's just say I've wanted to take a hammer to it today!

As frustrating as painting can sometimes be...having it work in the end IS worth the effort. I just have to step away, breathe, maybe take Maisie for a walk...then get back in the ring again. Some creative juju always helps too!

Snippet Winner!

Out of the magic randomizer and supervised by Maisie, the wonder dog...came Sara Harley of Paws for Charity. Congrats, Sara...you are the winner of your very own Snippet! Just head to my Etsy Shop and choose whichever Snippet image you'd like to have (there are nine there right now)...then send me an email and I will ship it to you asap.

And speaking of Snippets...here's one of a brand new painting I just finished. I'll be back tomorrow to show you the entire piece. Have a beautiful Fall day out there!

Under the Wire!

Just sliding in here before the end of the week! This is the next in line of the new series. I'm really enjoying the layering process with these. The colors always become so much richer as each layer happens.

Also, take a looksie at this cool blog, Wattlebird. Abby Creek is featured there today along with some other Artists here in Boulder. It's a great place to find Etsy Artists in your local area.

Have a great weekend and have fun! Think we'll be taking Maisie for a swim at some point. That girl is lovin' the water lately!
