A little bit country

"Play it, Maybelle"

So I think this may be my first guitar? I dont recall ever painting one before...But I think you can tell what it is :) I started this painting the other day at a little craft session with my little crafty friends Beth and Holly. Even though I originally thought of a banjo, this ended up being a young Maybelle Carter with her guitar and fetching flapper 'do.

I'm happy to say that she is now available on etsy, dont you want her to sing you to sleep?

Check her out HERE

*Edit: Maybelle is sold!~

There's a bit of a glare on the photo, but at the top of the painting is stamped "sing your heart out." And if you look hard...on her shoulder it says "twang."

So, this morning I'm going to head over to Shades of Brown and take down the art show. It was a good month I think! I can't wait to tally up which paintings got new homes...I have so many ideas for new projects and products. I'm fairly bouncing off the walls with them! So hang tight!

Til then, enjoy this painting! And remember-- the August Early Work Mercantile update is coming up very soon! It's all art and craftwork inspired by early american work, something I really love. I've already got my little painting finished, and oh what a story she has to tell....
