The Circus Girl…and a give-a-way!!!
This past year I started taking {oil} painting lessons. I have a wonderful teacher and it’s a small class. We can do whatever we want and she will help us through the bumps.
This is my second painting. I knew that I wanted to add a burlap banner to the top of it so it has just been sitting there…unfinished {it needed at least a few weeks to dry completely}.
Isn’t her face and hair just so lovely?…she makes me smile…oh, and that perfect shade of periwinkle… it’s just so yummy!
I also knew that I wanted to make a charm out of it…so I did!
I’m going to give one of these away…just leave a comment with this post and I’ll draw a name…some day soon!

It really makes a cute charm! Sooo sweet!
I’m in love with the Circus Girl!
You are so talented!
Dear Friend…..I am sitting here wondering if there is anything that you can’t do….YOU continue to amaze me…Circus Girl is a treasure…much love
Happy 4th of july!!! The painting is very beautiful and yet again; it shows your excellent creating skills.
I hope you had a Happy 4th of July. My bithday is the 5th of July so it seems like a big birthday party to me…I love both of your charms. I live in Hugo, Ok. wher a lot of circuses winter. Right now they are all out on the road performing. I used to have a black horse like you have in your picture. I just loved her to death and then someone stole her. Your circus charm reminded me of the circus and my horse!!! Beautiful as usual, I dont`t think you can do anything bad, everythin you do I want.
Those are amazing! I can’t wait for Saturday and see what you have to bring:)
Simply lovely!… You’re such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing your talent and the chance to win.
Blessings!
Well I am probably the oldest so therefore I need her. LOL.
