Wanting spring flowers around all year round...printed my new paintings on a large printer, adhered to cement board...
several layers of outdoor polyurethane...can you see Olive snoozing, she could care less
and Mr R risked life and limb to hang this on the side of the house...he can see them out his office window, my neighbors can see them out their kitchen window
and a new bright corner to our ever growing alley art collection.
All in preparation for the upcoming EBCA studio tour...mark your calendars now!
wow what a wonderful idea!!! They are beautiful, how fortunate everyone is to see your art displayed this way! I'm visiting from Rebecca's blog where I saw your gorgeous images posted.

This is great and I love how you've included Mellie and Olive. I'll have to take a stroll down your alley to see them. You do beautiful work.

An alley art collection - what a fun and creative idea, Stephanie. What a happy place that alley has become for your community.

What a fabulous idea. You don't need to worry about real flowers, yours are so much more colourful and don't need watering.

Love it! What size is the printer? Do you own it? I have been wanting to print large for years I've only seen A3 in the shops! x

What great ideas!! Where's the large printer!? I want this painting, and also a big picture of Olive and Melly!
Wouldn't it be great to carry around a huge Moo card of this painting? If someone asks, you just whip one of these off the roof of the car and hand it to them. voila! your CV!
i got carried away.
