A give away for my 1st Aniversary ..Get R Done and Art Work Friday



It's Friday and time for Get-R-Done Friday over at ClassyChassy, so be sure and go by and check out the other great projects and tell Classy thanks for hosting this for us.
I am also linking this to a new Meme that I found at D Dzines....where DeeDee is hosting Artwork Friday. She has some very nice art work to show, stop by and say hi....
But first let me say I am not only joining these 2 memes today but I am announcing a new give away to celebrate my 1 year Anniversary....
My project this week is a painting I have been working on. I decided last week when I realized my Anniversary was going to be this week to do something special for it, I have noticed that so many of my friends are cat lovers along with being lovers of antiques and of the simpler things in life. So I decided to do a canvas painting of a young lady from another era holding her loving conpanion. I worked on this idea for awhile before settling on this picture I hope you like it....I knew I had to Get R Done this week.....
I used an 11" x 16" stretch canvas.
Now that I think about it I could have used this post for 2d time around Tuesday cause it was a canvas I found in a rummage sale for .75 cents...check out the last picture the frame has writing on it and a sales sticker for .75...but for some reason the canvas was blank....
Click on picture to enlarge....

  8. Hi, I found you via Artwork Friday at Dee Dee's. Your painting is lovely, I have a love for vintage and your capture of this sweet girl and her kitty is wonderful.

    btw, thank you for your tribute to our troops. My nephew just arrived in Iraq a few weeks ago to start his first tour of duty and my niece is a drill sergeant stateside, training others getting ready to start theirs. Always nice to see they are appreciated.
