Holidays

 Hello,

Happy Holidays

What are your traditions?

For me, first there is a little bread baking that started in October when all the sugar pumpkins come out and this is a new idea so we'll see if I can pull it off again next year. Still working out the kinks.

Next I have a evergreen workshop and we make wreaths and swags for everyone in my family's homes.  

Through my Oktober Florals side of my creative business I also design and sell wreaths and swags locally. It is called Wild Wreaths & Swags. 2024 prices are $50.oo each, local pick up only. I have extended the ordering date until November 22, 2024. Email me with WILD in the subject to place a wreath or swag order: oktoberstudio@hotmail.com. Take a peek at couple from last season.

Then we go back to baking granola and pumpkin muffins. This the granola receipe I have been following and I got it from Instagram.

 

  

  

 

For Christmas I would love to start and Eve Of The Eve tradition, but I have not yet worked that out. I am hoping for an early potluck appetizers with apple cider and cider beer and a movie.  Christmas Eve my holiday has been wrapping gifts and all day marathon of shows and movies. Christmas day is a brunch with my family. Boxing Day, December 26th, my tradition use to be a pub crawl and one day that will be back, but not yet. 

My next tradition is my favorite a New Years ritual of working out, pampering skin care, napping and movies and repeat it on New Years day with a family lunch of leftovers and snacks. 

Please keep me in mind for your holiday shopping, whether you need a one of a kind painting, a wreath for a hostess, some swag for your party guests; I have mini paintings available. You can also see my Society6 shop for wonderful stocking stuffers like prints, pouches, notebooks and water bottles.

Indigo Indigo

 Hi. Happy August.

I  am excited to share my new collection.

"Indigo Indigo"

36x36

Acrylic on canvas

$400.oo Each + shipping

US Shipping only

"Singing All Night"

"Deep Rooted"

"Looming"

"Love Is Heavy"

"We Were Bursting With Laughter"

"We Left In The Middle Of The Night"

For this collection I painted with many shades of blue and purple to capture the color indigo. I also used black and Payne's Gray too. but with this blue case study Phthalo Blue is still my favorite shade of blue. I also painted mostly with a dry brush for optimal paint blending.

If you are following along my creative journey you might have noticed I go to many concerts and music is a muse. The painting "Singing All Night" is that feeling of being with people singing; at concert, in a car or at a party, etc. When the music moves you to dance and to belt out the songs together. I would consider that pure happiness.

You can purchase these paintings directly from me. Email me for purchase details: oktoberstudio@hotmail.com

Thank you so much for your support.   
  I appreciate all the shares and follows.
I would be most grateful if you also; please share this collection with loved ones.

Best,

THANK YOU!

Happy New Year. Can you believe we are already a month into 2024. 

What have I been up to since my last blog? I sold a few mini pumpkins, reindeer and poinsettias paintings for the holidays. I went to a couple concerts. I had a mini mini cross stitch lesson. Of course a few Blackhawk games...GO HAWKS!

 

Back in September I started a small collection of 10x10s. The painting was quick I painted all six pieces in one day. However, after, I sat with  these paintings a long time. Now I am ready to share these new paintings. They are acrylic on canvas and $50.oo each. 

These paintings are all about time; time passing,  the moments we keep in our memories, the energy of that moment.  The color story is a gentle pink with bright glowing India yellow and hot pink giving that extra pop.

Presenting to you first.
