Today is Tuesday and what better day to tender "The Letter T"!   I will be listing "T" in My Etsy Shop  today as an Authorized Art Print, size 8"x10"; and also as an Open Edition ACEO, size 2.5"x3.5".

 Hello everyone! I am a new member of the VAST Team and want to take a moment to introduce myself! First of all I am very excited to be a part of such a talented and creative group of people! You are all very inspiring!

 I am originally from the New Jersey and Delaware area. I moved down to Florida for the second time in 2003 after getting married. My first stop in the Southwest Florida area was when I arrived here on the Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey circus train...yes I actually did run away and join the circus.

 I am so lucky to now be able to dedicate myself to creation full time.  The past year has been very successful, I have opened two Etsy shops, one for my fine art Evelyn McCPeters Art and one for animal portraiture Barking Dog Creations. 

 My most successful sale so far was to a collector in Australia! A terrific experience! The painting below is the one that's now on the other side of the world!

I look forward to getting to know everyone, learning and sharing. It is truly so valuable to be part of a team, everyone accomplishes so much more!
Thanks! Evelyn 
("Refracted Sea Turtle" will be showing at The Studio at Gulf & Pine this November.)

I have begun illustrating my next letter, want to take a guess which one I am working on now?  The first one to guess correctly will get to choose which letter I work on next!  As for now, I am going to sit back with some Tetley Tea and doodle away!

"The Letter J"

This has been a good day, I finished "The Letter J"!  I find this "Zentangle" doodling quite addictive, it's a bit like putting together a puzzle; you begin with lines going every which way, going up and down, side to side and round and round.  Then you pick a blank space, begin filling it in with a design that comes to mind and see where your imagination will take you from there.  In this case, it took me to ....



"The Letter J"

Later today, I will be listing "The Letter J" in My Etsy Shop as an authorized art print, size 8"x10"; and in ACEO Open Edition format, size 2.5"x3.5".

Until then, I have tossed the remaining letters of the alphabet (Scrabble tiles) and found my next project.  Which letter could that be?  Take a Guesss?

Your friend,

"The Letter C"

"The Letter C" is now complete!  All the while I was working on it I kept thinking of cotton candy, so when it came to painting the background I tried to make it look like pink cotton candy with sugar flecks.   I think it came out rather well. 

I will be listing "The Letter C" in My Etsy Shop as an authorized art print, size 8"x 10"; as well as reduced ACEO open edition format size of 2.5"x 3.5". 

I have decided to randomly select the remaining twenty-two letters, so in the future I will be surprising you with "Which letter is she working on now?"!

For now, I am pleased to present ....

"The Letter C"

Happy Day to one and all!

End of Summer Blues

I always get a little melancholy with summer's end, mostly because I know what's coming after. I don't mind autumn, but I wouldn't care if we missed winter altogether!  Here's my ode to summer: two of my four End of Summer series of photographs.



See all four in my shop and in my blog.

Eternal Flow Mandala

Mandala created digitally from an original acrylic on canvas.
Blue in mandalas means: tranquility, joy, satisfaction and peace.
A mandala is a spiritual symbol, in Buddhism is a sacred art. It is an excellent tool for personal and spiritual growth.  Having the shape of a circle makes it pure and harmonious.
Used also for meditation purposes to create a strong focal point. Having a mandala at home balances energies and creates harmony. Enjoy!

An Idea For A New Series Of Drawings....

As I was viewing my latest drawing "Jury Room Doodle" I was struck by how much it reminded me of the letter "B".  I thought, hmmmm, this might be fun, doodling my way through the alphabet.  So I began with the letter "Z", not a very often used letter and thought I'd see where "Z" would take me.  As it turns out, I am very pleased with the final outcome of "Z".   I will be listing "The Letter Z" in My Etsy Shop in 8"x 10" art print format as well as the reduced ACEO format of 2.5"x 3.5". 

Hopefully, within the next few days, I will have completed the letter "A" and be able to share that with all of you.  In the meantime, it is my pleasure to present to you .....

"The Letter Z"

Thank You for looking, I appreciate any and all feedback you'd care to share.
