Abstract Modern Cityscape New beginnings

I haven't been able to paint in awhile. I am so excited about this painting and working again.  I have so much more to do. This is just the underpainting. Please feel free to leave feedback and let me know what you think.  I really wish I could paint every single day I love to paint!

Breathless.. Ashley Elaine

I created this painting  of my lovely daughter Ashley Elaine a couple of years ago. She is a beautiful strong and independent young woman.  I created this painting using  acrylic under painting and oils on top.  The painting is painted on a 18x 24 gallery canvas.

Abstract Heart Studios Name Change

I am changing my blog name to match my business name. I debated about doing this but I feel like everything should match so that it won't be so confusing. I am working on a fan page and paintings and such.

Grandma Jane

Dear Grandma Jane I just want you to know how much you mean to me. I love you more than you will ever know. I am so sad today because you may be leaving me soon. Thank you for being the best grandma ever! You are the person I admire most !! You always worked so hard no matter what. I love your sense of humor and your laugh. Thank you for the cherry pies and the sandbox ( tractor tire) LOL!! I wish that you would never leave me... Thank you for being Santa Claus and all the love you gave me... I was so lucky to have the most amazing Grammie ever!! Love and Kisses always your Michelle

New Day Dreams

I haven't kept up with my blog lately. I have been totally obsessed with Etsy and getting my shop set up. Then came the holidays and it was trying to balance shopping and decorating and everything else. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever find the balance to everything. I need to paint, market my paintings and a family life, clean house and work?? Am I just crazy to hope that I will figure it all out ?? I love painting and feel at odds when I can't create. I hope to fulfill my dreams and be a full time painter and artist making a living doing what I love most.

Etsy Pounce treasury

I was so excited because I made it into a pounce treasury yesterday! I am trying to figure out how to add that as a link. It is really late and I have to get ready for work tomorrow so it will have to wait until tomorrow. Please check out my new store!

XOXO

Crimson Fire Studios

I have finally opened my etsy store. I had signed up with etsy back in 2007 with the shop name CrimsonFireStudios. I have recently begun to post my paintings there. I know that I need to post more than just the five I have posted. I am just a little nervous because I haven't really put my work up for sale before. I planned on using AbstractHeartStudios and will use that store in the future. It is a struggle to work full time and take care of a household . I really want to dedicate my time to painting and other works of art. I also have the issue of not really having a dedicated space to create. I intend to spend more time blogging and putting my paintings and art works online. I hope that everyone is had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! My daughter and her husband came from Houston to visit and it was so much fun to be together as a big family. Our house is a little crazy with a new puppy and a not so happy cat ( hates the puppy) LOL!! People in and out all the time. Here is a picture of one of my latest paintings. I would appreciate any feedback on my store and my paintings. The name of the painting is Mystical Forest. The painting is 24x24 and an abstract painted in acrylics and oil on birch plywood with the edges painted black. You can find this and my other paintings here at my etsy store http://www.etsy.com/shop/crimsonfirestudios
