When will the snow come????

It is rather quiet here for a weekday.  The kids are off school so, the quiet always worries me. They must be up to something..... I suppose I should just stay up here where it is safe and happy. Painting silly snow men. It is coming you know, the snow.  

This painting will be done Thursday and posted on EBay Sunday. Check it out with my ID "My Little Corner Design"

In the studio....

I am so happy to be back in the studio. I have been working a lot on design work and have missed my paint brushes. I have to admit that I talk to them, like Rachel Ray talks to her food as she is cooking it. Funny but, true. I have my favorites and they know who they are.

This week I am working on a lot of winter scenes.  Some sled riding, snow man making, and an snow angel playing are in order.  These paintings are the most fun to paint. I especially love the frolicking!

The painting above is no done yet but, there is enough done for you to get the idea. I am going to add more birds to fill the it out.  The finished piece will be up for auction on Ebay on Thursday.  Look for it under my id "mylittlecornerdesign."

...and I am a moron!!!!

No offense to the Mormon religion. I enjoy the commercials  really, especially the one with the artist mother. No, I only mean to be self deprecating.   I am such an idiot!

Today, after finishing this cute little painting, I decided to take a photo of it to share with everyone.  I set the painting on the floor in my living room and opened the drapes to let the natural light flow in. As I was bending over to take the shot, I actually dropped my camera on the painting!!!! I would not have thought it would have done much damage but, it actually tore the canvas! If you look close at the picture on the left right by the pine tree you can see the tear. Also, there is a little indentation to the left that will go away eventually.

 What is wrong with my brain? or my central nervous system?!!!  God only knows! I can at least patch up the canvas and keep it for myself.  Now, I will have to repaint the painting this weekend. There goes my friday night!!!!

Okay, one nice thing about doing commissions is that I can reuse the layout for another painting. Believe it of not , sometimes it is hard to come up with new ideas for layouts. So thank you, Naomi, for giving new life to an old design. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Naomi's painting was based on an old painting of mine from my gallery entitled "Doggie Time." I think it is cute. What do you think?

This is a commission that I am working on for our neighbors to the north. I think that it is coming along rather well. The client loves it but, would like to add boats in the background. I will happily be creating them. I love when the client and I can work together to make the painting even better.

Some of you may not have heard from me in a while. My schedule has taken on a life of her own with family obligations, commission work;0), and my yoga certification process. However, I am back now trying desperately to hold on to my beloved schedule. Next week, should run a lot smoother after the holiday. So keep a look out for more pieces and more contact. I may even throw in a newsletter to let you all know the nuts and bolts of the business workings, 'til we meet again, Kori

Snow Day!

Well the weather, she is a changing! It is for me as usual a bittersweet farewell. I love the chill in the air at night and a nice toasty fire to cuddle by. However, what I don't care for is being COLD! I hate being cold. Here in Western Pa. there is no getting around it. It is coming. I love the snow. I could play in it all day until I get COLD! It never fails. No matter how I prepare for the cold. Sometime, somewhere, it finds me. Well until, it does. I will look at this painting and remember the fun of the first snow fall. There is nothing better.

Wow... sorry I haven't had the time this week to update my blog very much. A lot of family things going. Some good...some bad.
This week will be different. I have some really great ideas for new paintings and an open schedule. Hopefully, I will have three new paintings this week.
Until, then please enjoy this little beauty for auction now on EBay. I will also have prints available on Etsy for $12.00 with no shipping.
