Nicholas Coley. Now this is a talented artist with a very cool story – don’t miss it! I love the perspective of his paintings – it’s a bit different from the norm and I think it’s so interesting. My emails back and forth with Nick and with his wife, Tracy, tell me one thing… these are good people. It’s not easy to make a living from selling paintings, but it doesn’t surprise me that Nick can do just that. His paintings speak to you – the paintings are large and bold – and each has a different feel – love the signature too! I wish him much success! Continue reading “Featured Artist: Nicholas Coley!”

11 years ago today… ELEVEN! Where has the time gone? I remember it like it was yesterday.

Tulips can be so dramatic, they’re one of my absolute favorites – especially when the light is shining through them! They have such personality – you never know exactly what they’re going to do… This was a tall bunch and I figured they would stand straight and tall at dark and then with time open up and reach out like many of them do. But this bunch Continue reading “Tulips in Sunshine!”
