Etsy Find: Campbell Jane
"Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. "
~Oscar Wilde
~Oscar Wilde
This tells the story of Folk Art by Campbell Jane which is an Etsy shop full of whimsical art and beautiful life. The owner is a full time painter, artist, Mom, poodle Mom, and also loves music. I believe you can see these things in her paintings. All of the paintings offered in her shop are original works of art.
Campbell Jane offers budget friendly prints, book marks, and art cards of her originals as well. I love the feel of her shop, the colors used, and the portraits of angels. I collect angels so this was treat to feature her shop this week! All I can say is WOW...such talent!!
Here are some of my favorites

An Autumn weekend in the Mountains of Pennsylvania
We spent a weekend in the beautiful Mountains of Pennsylvania.
Taking a stroll at the campground.
Music by the campfire
At the dog park..
The big king of our house in a little body. This is Kai, our fearless Chihuahua. The only thing he's scared of are loud noises and teenage boys who visit my son at our house frequently!
Kai really enjoyed the dog park last weekend in the mountains. My kids had to chase him to get him to run around!
"Wow, this is better than getting my belly rubbed! Nah...just kidding!"
This is Buddy, our rescued Puggle. This is his 4th home...he's only 3! He used to be super duper hyper until we took him to obedience classes. Now he is a dream, but he still likes to make his grunting noises :-)
"Let's see who can run the fastest!!"
Our boxer, Jade, didn't make it to the dog park, but we did take her to mountains with us for some good country air! She's such a cutie! This is her bumble bee costume she wore at the campgroud!
"I love to give paw!"
Have a great weekend!

A Morning in the Garden
I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers. ~Claude Monet
Have you ever wanted to go to a place to feed your soul visually? A place to "sort of" call your own. A place where you can lose yourself and gain inspiration at the same time. I find this all in my Mom's gardens...my inspiration for my jewelry designs all started here. Take a little journey and you will see why...

Hostas, daisies, and bird amenities
A place for morning or afternoon tea

A place for butterflies

How much prettier can this be?

A place to rest after a long day...

That's me (owl tee by Hard Love Apparel )
I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
