New Addition... buy now button!

Hello! I hope you all are enjoying your Saturday!
Well, I have hopefully successfully added a buy now button from Paypal.
This will make it easier to purchase your painting of choice.
You will select which painting you want from the drop down menu and tahdah... success! Now, if you have already purchased a painting and you see it still as an option on the drop down menu, do not worry... I am not selling your painting. However, if someone chooses to buy, let's say "blessed" and I have sold the original that was posted on the blog, that someone will get a very similar painting. I will keep the colors and wording close but each one is an original!!!
As always, let me know if you have any custom requests or you want something a little different from what you see. Thank you so much for your support and spread the word... or the blog I should say!
Special thanks to Karen, Claudia, Bonnie, and Russ for purchasing and supporting these fundraising efforts!
Keep checking back for additional paintings. Yippee!

Pictures of paintings

First I want to say... Happy Mother's day to all the wonderful moms!
I have added pictures of some of the first paintings ready for purchase. At this point, I have not set up online ordering so please contact me via email at katdrake07@gmail.com if you wish to purchase an item. Thank you for looking and remember... I will customize. So, let me know if you see something you like but you want a different letter or saying.

What this is all about

I love creating art. My time to be creative has decreased but my desire only increases. Sometimes, I just need a little push! I think most people can relate to that. Anyway, my husband and I have a dear friend that is going through a very hard time. The whole family is affected. I was talking to Mike (my husband of 3 years this week... happy anniversary dear) and wanted to do something for them. I knew that the small amount of money we could donate would only be a drop in the bucket. I thought to myself... I wish there was a way to raise some money to help. Ta Dah... Little Piece of Art.

Over the next few days, I will start adding little paintings you can purchase for only $30. The proceeds will go to this amazing and wonderful family and you will get a great piece of handmade artwork! I am working out all the details but start thinking of people you need gifts for... even if it is just for yourself. I will have many to choose from and do not mind customizing specifically for you. Each piece of art will be 8" x 8" perfect for an accent piece, on the mantel, in your child's bedroom, anywhere really. I am keeping all canvases this size for easy shipping and lets face it...paintings are just so adorable when they are this size!!!!

Please check back in the next few days to see the progress, and I hope you will purchase many many many!

Enjoy your weekend,
Kathleen
