5"X7" watercolor on acid free paper. I will continue doing a series of these cards until the paper is all gone. These are marigolds from my garden. I actually buy seeds at the end of the season for very cheap and throw them here and there throughout my garden. You really never know what is going to pop up next. Kind of amazing that I have an instinct for what is a weed verses some kind of new flower popping up. It was brought to my attention that I needed to label, somewhere, on the card that this is a one-of-a-kind hand painted original by Colleen Shannon. I think I will write in on the very back of the card, so it doesn't accidently get thrown away. Thanks for your input people!

Flower Card 2 - $25.00
5"X7" watercolor on acid free paper. I'm posting this one along with the other one, because it is actually the same composition as the first. I decided to take the ink sketch out and try focusing more on simplifying the elements in the painting. I will try to at least keep something coming you way, mainly to keep my creative juices flowing. And, hey! You need some creativity in your life as well.
Flower Card 1 - $25.00
5"X7" Watercolor and ink on acid free paper. I've been very busy with pottery and jewelry. Several new exciting creative things happening in both of those departments. But, I miss my painting. I really want to paint again. But, when? So, I decided to just start with something small to get my creative juices going again in the painting department. I found these boxes of acid free watercolor paper cards that come with envelopes and decided to kill two birds with one stone. I'm using something that's been hanging around for a very long time and I'm back into sketching. I don't know why, but nothing gives me more joy than painting flowers. I don't care how down you may be when you start, by the time you're done, you're feeling great! Again. This is a card. You can open it up and actually write a note to someone. What a great way to give original art to someone. Just write Happy Birthday on the inside. The can tear off the front and frame it! It comes with an envelope.

Onion Buds - $400.00
22X33 Watercolor on 100% cotton paper. Inspired from all the gardening I've been doing lately. My green onions are budding. I don't think I ever let them get to this point. It was so beautiful I had to let it bloom. Maybe I'll get some seeds!

One Stem #13 - SOLD
5.5" X 15" mixed medium on cotton paper. Spring has sprung in Louisiana. I've been spending many hours outdoors getting the garden planted and flowers are popping up everywhere. It makes my heart happy to paint flowers. So, I do! I've got one stems in the making. You'll see a new each day over the next few weeks. Someone sent me a photo of the "one stem's" hanging in the their house that I'm going to share with you. I was so excited to see my work framed and happy hanging in a home that it inspired me to -get on it- and do some more. So, I'm asking a little favor. If you've got art work of mine hanging in your house, will you take a snap shot of it? I will post it to my blog. Thanks! and Happy Spring!

Goblets on a sphere $20
This is my newest goblet design. I actually really love them. They are so cool because they are wine glasses sitting on a sphere and, yes! they are very stable. They are much more beautiful in person. And! feel extremely comfortable to hold.
