Bracing Ourselves For a HUGE Snowstorm........

Boy, oh boy are we supposed to get it....the kids are not too excited about a Friday into Saturday snowstorm. No possibility of a day off from school.

We are expected to be getting anywhere from 8 to 14 inches of snow with winds around 40mph. Now doesn't that sound fun? I know that I will be shoveling, drinking my hot cocoa and hopefully getting some painting done. I love to paint when the calm sounds of little flakes are falling outside.....but with winds of 40-50mph.....I don't know how tranquil that will be!

Please post here with where you live and what the weather for the weekend is supposed to be by you. I love to here about where you guys live.......

I will post before and after photos here tomorrow.......

Stay cozy and warm.....
Love,
T

Always Exciting To Stop In At The Church Thrift Shop.......

Comment on this


Sometimes I have that feeling that there is something just waiting for me to find down at our local thrift shop. I am pretty lucky to have this right around the corner. What an amazing old house that is owned by the church and each room holds many treasures just to be found........very exciting.

I just got back and had such a great time. Always something interesting and fun. I ended up purchasing a really old, but in great condition picnic basket...HMM......what can I do with this, I asked ME. I have some fabulous thoughts and can already invision a kewl and funky creation.

Have you ever found any items and transformed them into a work of art? If so, can you share here???

Will post some photos when my basket is finished!!

Stay tuned....
Love,
T

Just wanted to thank all of you guys for sharing in my Angel endeavors.......

I am just beginning work on another painting. This creation is already full of purples, reds, pinks and blues.....I just love the background of this one already. I had a few requests for more sayings to be included in my works. I wanted to ask my collectors what sizes of paintings would you like to see.....more larger pieces or smaller works. If you could add some input on what you would like...it would be a major help to me....thanks and love to all,

Just Finished An Angel Painting.....what do ya think?

 by Tracey Ann Finley on 1/11/2010 2:04:17 PM

This is a mixed media creation that I had a wonderful time creating. I hope it shows!
I have used fabrics, papers, old poem pages, acrylics, glitter, modeling paste and lots of love to create this painting. It measures a nice big size of 24x30 and the 3/4" sides are painted black so you don't have to frame it if you don't want to. Would love to hear some feedback if you have the chance.
Will be listing it on Ebay today.......
Thanks for stopping by....
Hugs,
Tracey Ann

Do You Believe In Angels??

LOVE YOU TAKE IT WITH YOU
I would like to start a blog about angels......be it in the spiritual sense or in the mortal sense. I have come across both in my life thus far and each day I am more and more amazed where angels are concerned. I have decided to dedicate this year, 2010, to my love for angels. Most of my paintings will be based upon the love and kindness that angels bring into our lives. I would love to hear any personal encounters that you would like to share. Please post them here. I am not the best blogger, but would really love to discuss Angels......

My living room is called The Angel Room and is a tribute to my love and interest in Angels. I have a wooden sign that reads: LEAVE ROOM IN YOUR HEART FOR ANGELS TO DANCE and I read it everyday, several times a day. That sums it up..don't you think?
Talk to you soon....
Love,
T


Just added this new painting on Ebay:

Here is the link to the auction:
LOVE EACH OTHER

Wanted to show you my latest angel creation....
I truly feel blessed painting these angels and offering nice messages along with them. I hope that they touch your heart as they do mine.....

I have always loved getting my hands into my work. I have tried all different types of mixed media. I would love to hear from others on what things that they use. Please post some funky and fun ideas right here. Lets see if we all can learn some new techniques.

I myself have used sand, old dictionary pages, rice, tin foil and lots more.

Here is a mixed media painting that I just love:

This painting incorporates plaster for all of the amazing textures. Was totally awesome to create.
Please share your awesome mixed media creations here......
Thanks for your time,

Scrappy Angels Are Flying Onto the Scene!

 by Tracey Ann Finley on 9/25/2009 1:38:15 PM
Comment on this


I just love creating art from discarded materials. My latest creations are called SCRAPPY ANGELS.....

I have always been intrigued by angels and love to incorporate them into my artwork whenever I can. I am proud to say that my Scrappy Angels are a big success and thank all of you who have welcomed one into your home.

Scrappy Angels are created out of found wood. The unique thing about them is the fact that I do not make any additional cuts on the wood. I puzzle each and every Scrappy together using the pieces just as I found them.  How kewl is that??

If you would like to order......please view my website page for pricing and details....

Would love to know what types of art you see with the use of discarded stuff........lets share some here

Thanks again for stopping in and talk to ya soon,

How Has Your Summer Been Goin"?

 by Tracey Ann Finley on 8/3/2009 4:42:21 PM
Comment on this


I just dread winter and look sooooo forward to the summer months, but I just have to say, it's August already and it still doesn't quite feel like summer has arrived. Least not here in Jersey. Sure, we have had a spattering of good days thrown together, but for the most part July was mostly in the 70's degree area. By the time summer makes itself known, I think that the kids will be back to school......OH NO! I just dread the whole back to school nightmare. Between the lists of supplies that the teachers give you a whole two days to buy to the driving and picking up after school, bedtime back on a routine....YOWZA.....can't summer just last for 6 months???????

We did go and visit a few colleges and that was kinda fun. Here are a few photos.....

Drop on over to my site and if you see a painting that really calls out to you, don't be shy, drop me an email with an offer to make it your very own....last day for this promo is Saturday, March 21st.....thanks......
