New Watercolor Paintings

Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)


Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.

For your enjoyment, I've added the following original ACEOs to eBay and prints on Etsy.




These originals are currently out on eBay auctions.  Both the "What'cha Doing?" and "Birds on Wire Christmas Tree" will be painted in much larger sizes in the near future.  These are both part of a couple of series I'm doing so be sure to stay tuned. 

Here are others that will be available by print next week:





For those that wish for a custom watercolor family painting, here's one that is available as an 11" x 14" original painting on 140 lb. watercolor paper; as with all my paintings, professional watercolors are used and is UV sprayed so that your investment is enjoyed for many many years to come.  I can add more kittens or take some away.  The name tags on the following example have been added and computer enhanced to show samples.  Each is painted as the orders come in and will vary slightly from the sample shown.   Mom and Three Kittens Custom Pastel:  $200 unmatted/unframed.  Free U.S. Shipping and is insured.  All others, please contact with mailing address for proper discounted delivery charges.  This will make a perfect Valentine's Day, Mother/Grandmother's Day, or just to for that special on-of-a kind keepsake.
 



Also in the works are wedding cake sculpture toppers i.e. dog, cat, birds (love birds?...birds in love?)  complete with tux, veil, flowers, etc., for your special day.
Thanks so much for your interest in my art  - God Bless!

November 29, 2009 - Yep, I've Gone and Done It!



Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 

In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.

What is that I have gone and did, do you ask?  Although I've been painting, drawing, color penciling for many years and sculpting the last couple, recipients of my gifts have said many times of how talented I am.  Of course one would think that they, being family, and me being the creator would have a definite biased opinion, ones that shouldn't be taken seriously.  Yes, I know I am too hard on myself....

So what is all this rambling about?  Ok, Ok, I'll tell you.  I posted my first watercolor paintings - ACEO originals (shown above) on my eBay store at http://stores.ebay.com/Baileys-Art-Gardens-and-Pets Friday, November 27, 2009, and already sold three!  The Lord has been telling me to just trust in Him...some folks just don't listen....  It takes some folks (like me) to go through trials, testing my faith and hardship of living paycheck to paycheck and still not being able to make ends meet.  I need to practice more using the talents the Lord has given.

I've sold a number of sculptures locally and some on my Etsy sight, http://www.annettecbailey.etsy.com/, but this is the first regarding my paintings................Home business of art and organic farming - - - - HERE I COME!!

I have two large custom dog sculptures and two turtles to make so I better sign off.

Thanks for your interest in my works of art  -  make it a great day!
