Spiced Snails Series 1

I LOVE snails......they're all in my fern garden......but in such dull colors......

So I painted Spiced Snails Series 1, a triptych of tiny snails (8x8 each)........except I spiced them up with gorgeous delightful colors!!

These snails are already spoken for...... but I will be painting more!   Look for tiny Spiced Snails and Slugs Series II !

Artist Market at Olney, MD

A BIG thank you to all the folks who came out to my tent at the Olney Artist & Farmer's Market last weekend.    I met so many wonderful people.....enjoyed talking to everyone!

I received so much good feedback and seeing folks who loved my crazy colored animals.  The weather was perfect, the band was nearby, and I had a fabulous time!
