Originals in etsy and folksy

I have noticed recently that buyers of art seem to want original work, rather than prints. Of course, prints are a great and inexpensive way to buy art, but they are nothing near as beautiful as the real painting. So, I have decided to start listing more originals in my etsy and folksy shops. These are 14" x 18" paintings on canvas board, for sale at around £80.00 or $128.00 plus shipping. Here are the three paintings in my etsy shop, but feel free to enquire about any of my original art. Thanks for reading ♥

Frida Kahlo in peach aceo. sold

This is my latest Frida Kahlo aceo. She has a dress and hair flowers made of exotic oriental collage papers and a sequin necklace. I have covered her in a couple of layers of varnish for protection. I have to admit she did sell straight away in my folksy shop, but I'll be making a new batch as soon as I've done the vacuuming!! Next time I will blog about the frida's before I list them, to give everyone a chance if they want to buy x
There are a few aceo's left in my folksy shop..

Girl with a patchwork dress

I don't have a name for this girl yet, but the painting is called "Patchwork dress".
She's one of my series of small collage canvases 6" x 8" which all have a black painted boarder and look great alone or grouped together.

Her sweet dress is made up from oriental collage papers. I added a hair flower and a sweet baby button to her pocket. The painting is for sale in my folksy shop.
I will be adding some new work to both my shops today. Thanks for looking ♥

" Sunny Sunflowers"

Rain rain rain!! We've had plenty in the UK this week! Well they do say " The great British summer, blink and you'll miss it!". Never mind, hopefully the weather will calm down and give us a few more halcyon days. To cheer us all up, I will show you a couple of sunny sun flower collage pictures, I painted on my recent trip to Cornwall. As the paintings are small, they are available as "mini prints", you can find them in my etsy and folksy shops as part of my mini print sets. More arty products will be coming soon!
Many thanks for looking ♥

" Woodland friends "

This is my latest, painting, which has quite an autumnal feel about as we head through the hazy days of summer. Her name is Coco and she's being guided through the woodland trail by her friends, the wise old owls. The little birdy is keeping her company throughout the journey.
I painted Coco using acrylics on canvas board. I've added oriental collage papers to her clothing and hat. I love a bit of collage!! Prints and mini prints can be bought from my folksy shop and the original painting can be purchased, all enquiries welcome. Many thanks for looking ♥

I had such a great holiday in Cornwall and managed to get plenty of new artworks painted.
I'll soon be listing the prints and jewellery in my folksy shop and hopefully in my soon to open etsy shop. Here's my painting called " Dawn tree ". It's a small canvas 15 x 20cm and I'll be selling it as a print or the original painting. I've added some collage papers and a few baby buttons.
