Poppies
Posted by paperandplanes under Random Life | Tags: oriental poppies, poppies |Leave a Comment
The Crafty Wonderland Sale was great – people came even though the weather was so nice! Thank you to all who stopped by. The rest of the weekend was spent with friends and family eating and playing outside. I hope this weather goes on forever. Perfect Mother’s Day weekend.
I had to share this picture since I get pretty giddy when the oriental poppies start to bloom. Addie and I are in love with these beauties in our front yard. They are Addie’s (current) favorite colors, pink and black, and she likes to look out the window in the morning to excitedly tell me how many have opened. I adore this kid.

Posted by paperandplanes under art, Rachel's Paintings, shops, shows | Tags: artist cards, map cards, rachel austin card, single cards |[3] Comments
Jon has been working hard putting this new shopping page on my website for single cards, card sets and prints. I’m happy to offer FREE shipping on domestic orders on this new site for the month of May to celebrate it going up. I’m going to still keep all the original paintings on my etsy shop site so hopefully that won’t be too confusing. Let me know what you think.
Mark your calendars for the Crafty Wonderland Spring Sale next Saturday, May 12th at the Portland Convention Center. I’m busy making and painting lots of cute things for you to see.

This week I’m working on giving my etsy shop a little updating. Today I started taking new pictures of the map painting series to give viewers more of an idea on how they look in person. Here are images for ‘Willow Springs’ that I’ll be posting.

April blooms

Feeling a little down today. One of the things that often cheers me up is doing a walk in the garden to see what is coming up or changing. It was a gorgeous day in Portland so I took the camera (and my tiny sidekick) and captured some beautiful things blooming. Hope you’ll find some inspiration too.
Himalaya Honeysuckle : Leycesteria formosa
Flowering Cherry : Prunus Yoshino
Forsythia
Autumn Joy Sedum
My Adelaide : Growing right along with the garden
Siberian Bugloss
Euphorbia wulfenii
Hellebore ‘Rachel’ (bought this one on my birthday -kind of had to since my name was on it)
Hellebore
Fava Beans
Sedums
Tulip
