No language can express the power, and beauty, and heroism, and majesty
of a mother’s love. It shrinks not where man cowers, and grows stronger
where man faints, and over wastes of worldly fortunes sends the radiance
of its quenchless fidelity like a star. ~Edwin Hubbell Chapin

It's been awhile now since I have posted on my blog.
I have been transitioning into a new job.
Life has settled a bit.
I am reuniting with my authentic self and I am back creating in my art shack.
Balancing a day job and a life passion is challenging,
but one's true colors shine through right?
At least that is what I learned from Cyndi Lauper.

I Dig You
Original Design by Traci Suzanne Marvel
On the creative side of things, I have three paintings in the works.
I Dig You is one of them.
Just put in an order to have this image made into post cards.
The original painting does not have the words on it and I think I will sell it that way.
I also have a horse painting I am working on.
And a sailboat too.
Will share those here when I get a little further along.
As far as Woolin Rouge Designs company, Sylvia and I are so close to having our Coffee, Tea or Bee? Mug Rugs Series patterns available to sell.
