another theme week: my personal art gallery

I'll be out of pocket for the next several days so I'm going to regale you with another theme week, like we did last month with my favorite kitchen things. This month, I'd like to show you some of my favorite artworks I've purchased or acquired. I don't have a whole lot but the pieces I have, I adore.

This is one of Carla Sonheim's "girls" which is already darling enough, but the red bird in the tree happens to be one of my personal symbols for something that is very precious to me, so there was no way I wasn't buying this little painting!

It's painted on a 6x6 wood panel and it perches perfectly atop my desk hutch.

I think I picked it up at ArtFest several years ago.

Carla will be teaching at ArtUnraveled in Phoenix this August (the workshops were just posted!).
