For the Birds!

If you haven’t noticed, I paint a lot of birds. In fact, so far this year, I’ve painted 26! That seems unbelieveable…even to me.

Get Started! America Recycles!

Meghan here today…

Recycling doesn’t just [...]

Itty Bitty Autumn Art

We came across these adorable little canvases and easels and had thought of another great way to share Kate’s artwork…a monthly “Itty Bitty Art” Series. This month’s featured design is “Time Worn Bouquet” because of it’s soft, Autumn colors.

For those of you who love to craft but [...]

Fall at the McRostie's

I’ve been crazy busy painting lately, however, I did get a chance to do a few quick fall decorating projects around the house last weekend. I’m hosting a pumpkin carving party, so I wanted things to feel festive!

Send 'em to the Dog House

Hi All, Kristin here again…we’ve got Kate chained to her paintbrush today, so I’m guest blogging again.
