...so little and SOOOO BIG...Welcome Christie Jones Ray

Eliza the Mouse is a tiny little friend 
from Rose Water Cottage in Franklin, TN
She is small and sweet, but she has some very big stories to share with all of us...
 
But it's a very big deal that Christie Jones Ray -- her creator -- has joined the ranks of our Earth Angels Featured Artists...

Welcome Christie!!
xxoo
Christie is an exuberant and sweet, author/illustrator I met just more than a year ago in Round Top, TX...
She has a dozen books celebrating the adventures of her Eliza the Mouse and her friends Sugar Lump, Baby Mouse and Rosebud...
Her work is lovely and gentle...
it makes me want to pause to celebrate the little things, the everyday things, that add kindness and beauty to your days...
Welcome Christie...
You can see her creations HERE

 Each book is laden with lush illustrations and Christie's artful calligraphy...

 ...my current favorite title...
 ...but I love them all...


And I will be sharing more news on Christie's expanding adventures with 
Eliza AND with Earth Angels...

 
It's both an honor and a pleasure to do business with Christie and to celebrate her story and style!

...overwhelemed by this book...aka I love BIRDS!

...let's take a minute and 
let some congratulations take flight...
 
Angela Moulton has 24 of her paintings included among the pages of this stellar, 
new book by Angus Hyland...

The Book of the Bird...Birds in Art is truly amazing...

I pre-ordered it because of course Angela had shared with me that she would be among the pages, but it far exceeded my expectation...

 ...a description from Amazon
where the book is available...

The Book of the Bird celebrates the bird in art with an elegant, international collection of paintings, illustrations, and photographs, featuring all kinds of birds from the smallest tits and wrens to colourful exotics.

Interspersed though the illustrations are short texts giving background to the pictures and information on bird species. This is the perfect gift for all bird lovers.

 I love birds, I feed a nice group of them everyday  from my back deck as I take my first sips of coffee and check the weather...
 Angela's work seems to capture the magic, the movement, the color and small gestures they make...
 I am smitten with her work, and totally thrilled that the author of the book saw to include it among so many other amazing and storied painters...
 Angela is truly creating the art of our day...
abstract, yet never over-decorated...
...compact in its brushwork, yet lavish...
...and truly drenched in pigment...
We are thrilled to be her exclusive retailer... 

Thanks Angela for sharing your Pratt Creek Art with us and our customers, and many hearty congrats on the achievement of your inclusion in this lovely new book...

Nancy Wiley...hello Monday...hello TALENT

Whenever I look at one of Nancy Wiley's paintings or dolls I swoon.
 Really, I do.
 She has an amazing talent to behold and I have to share some of her latest works with you...Nancy was able to attend the recent Country Living Fair and brought some incredible new creations with her...
...these are among my faves...i love the depth and color in her paintings....







 

I love all her dolls, too...many of us know Nancy from her many successful years in the art doll world.  Her work is unparallelled.

Proudly, her Tiny Alice is in my personal collection and among my fave possessions...but her new busts have me wondering if I am going to add one to my wish list!







Thanks to Nancy for working with me and Earth Angels Studios...
it's a true honor to have her among the ranks of artists with whom I work. 
I admire her tremendously.

xxoo Jen


PS
Don't miss the chance to have Nancy's books in your collection as well 
(and the book on Nancy too!)
