Hi Everyone....Today is all about being grateful...I feel so blessed to be able to enjoy taking care of our son Cole...and every day he comes to me and wants to paint and create warms my heart. I am grateful for being a Mom and grateful for each and every day I get to spend with my family. Cole's latest project is painting his wooden birdhouse....he is amazing with paint and his abstract style...I always have to bite my tongue and let him do what he wants....but sometimes I tell him how to hold the brush and how to use it ...and he always amazes me with his work....
I love the concentration in his face and I see he takes after his Uncle...my brother Ignatius...with the tongue sticking out...lol
He finished this piece and then I told his to add brush strokes around the sides...and he did...I am ever so proud of him....He also has started drawing with me...so I draw something in steps and then he copies each of my steps...I am very impressed...he will have to get his own blog soon!!!
I am also grateful for little things ....like can you imagine I still have roses blooming and we are well into November....wow!!!
I am also grateful for the wonderful blog friends I have met...you all are a part of what we do each and every day and I really enjoy hearing from you and visiting your blogs too....I met an amazing artist friend through blogging....Her name is Manon Doyle and you can check out her blog and her website....her work is filled with passion and emotion and it is breathtaking. She sent me a bunch of her art cards...and I love them...like miniature works of art they will find a new home in my studio where I can be grateful for friendships and be inspired to create....
If any of you watch Dragon's Den here in Canada...you may know who W Brett Wilson is...he is such a nice person and always so friendly and inspiring to all entrepreneurs....One day I logged onto my e-mail and to my surprise I found a note from him...I was beside myslef....We keep in touch and he always takes the time to give honest open feedback to me...and I am so grateful! Here are some really great reads that may inspire you...
The painting above is a watercolour I created for him....it is of his dog Maja
To learn more about the Dragon's Den...you can head here...and watch some episodes...the show has several wealthy investors and people from all over Canada come in and pitch their business ideas...the Dragon's can either buy in or state they are OUT!
When I created this piece for him I decided to add these to my custom shop...so if you or someone you know may want a custom piece created as inpsired by a loving pet...pop by!!!
Hugs Diana

Hi Everyone....meet Sammy...he knows how important it is to be balanced....one time when he was at a Holiday function, he had an unbalanced meal and he started to melt...so from then on he always made sure to carry and enjoy a balanced meal...even if it meant some Holiday Cheer and some Holiday Treats....
This is the packaging design I worked on for my new stamp line...
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!
Hugs
Diana

Firstly I would like us all to remember all the wonderful people that have made our lives better with their service...today is Remembrance Day here in Canada and Remembrance Day is not just about people from wars of the past. It's about men and women of our communities that have made the ultimate sacrifices for the greater good. It is also about appreciation for the work that they do today and every day to ensure that we all enjoy the special life we all have in Canada. May we all take a moment to reflect....
Secondly, I have created a very quick piece for the Three Muses Challenge this week...the theme is "In your dreams" and the first thing that popped into my head was three little sisters who love to dream about Christmas....after all, in your dreams...it can be Christmas everyday....I also have a piece from the past that is perfect for this theme ....you can check it out here....
Wishing you a wonderful day and may you all take a moment to be grateful...
Hugs
Diana

First of all, I LOVE your NY painting! It is so full of color and life! And this week's piece is so beautiful with the dress, the woman and that background! Your work is always so inventive while keeping with your style. Kristin :)
I'm sure her intended will be swooning when she walks down the aisle and the congregation will gasp in awe! She's lovely! Paris will be great, but will she still fit in the dress on her return after all that lovely food and wine?
A beautiful bride! Diana, your illustrations are just wonderful. This one is perfect with her lace and gorgeous gown. Her setting is quite lovely also.

They are lovely Diana~! Just like everything you create! I received your book yesterday and it is soooooo wonderful! Thanks for your kind words you wrote in the book. Around the 10th of Novembrt I will also host a give away, so please stop by then.....
Ooh I can't resist a good giveaway! By the way I love what you wrote in your profile about drawing 'taking you places'. Rediscovering my creativity this year has certainly taken me places and I hope there's many more exciting ones to come!
Love your new stamps; that little snowman gets my vote! And thank you for the kind words about my gran's Halloween pics. I would be honored to mention your weekly giveaway on my blog. The very best to you!!!

You must be really enjoying your creations and then having the World enjoy your art!! WOW!! You are a lucky star!!!! Keep up the great spirit and wonder of ART! Blessings-amy
Always delightful to come and visit you and what gorgeous Christmas stamps. I love Sammy the snowman and the Christmas stocking. I will mention this on my blog soon.
How scrumptious - and the perfect pair. What could be better to illustrate this week's theme. Fantastic work, Diane. Your blog is a wonderful, festive feast!
Lovely stamps, Diana - your original style is quite distinguishable in these, too! I especially like the Gingerbread kids and the Snowman. I wish you a wonderful waiting-for-the-Christmas season!
girly you are just working it out!!! These just put me in such a great mood! How beautiful and fun!!! We are going to be doing a whole lot of shopping for sure!!!! great work Diana!!!
Well stamp me HAPPY! These are absolutely adorable and festive. I'd go mad, stamping everything in sight! Weeeeeee!!! I really love those gingerbread kids. Scrumptious! This is so generous of you, Diana. They look fabulous. :)
When I saw the theme on MMM this week I had to include my special piece from the start of my career as a full time artist and illustrator....I created this piece and titled it "Opposites Attract" and it means so much to me....it is a symbol that I use for my logo and reminds me of how far I have come and always makes me believe that dreams can come true if you truly believe ......
I am submitting this as it is a perfect fit for the theme this week...I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!!! may it be filled with inspiration and some creativity!!!
Hugs
Diana

We had a wonderful Halloween!! Every year we head over to my parents home for a full day of fun, some wonderful food and treats and a night in their community. We live in a secluded area so we never have any children come for Halloween so we started going to my parents town...their whole neighbourhood goes all out for Halloween and we enjoy all the wonderful people and their cool decorations...This year our little munchkin Cole wanted to be a pirate as inspired by one of his favorite shows...Spongebob..specifically the flying dutchman...heheheeh....so I designed this costume and my Mom helped with the sewing...he was a riot!!! when he first headed out he repeated ...Aye aye captain....and then said some funny things at peoples homes...like once he forgot Trick or Treat or Happy Halloween...and ended up wishing this guy a Happy birthday...it was a riot!!! I also bought these fun hats that Brad and I wore...too funny...you saw them in a previous post...one is a witch hat with an actual stuffed witch on top and the other is the pumpkin head...Brad always is so much fun...and Cole ended up with enough candy to enjoy some each day for a year...but I think he will also donate some to some friends...
Have a wonderful Day!!!
Hugs
Diana

Wow such fantastic photos Diana!! Cole looked GORGEOUS as a little pirate, what a cutie! Great goatee and moustach too you and your mum did a wonderful job on his costume. I wish people celebrated it over here like they do with you. But we had a little party with my parents and we had a few trick or treaters knock our door which was unsual, hopefully people will start to celebrate it over here soon!!!! Great post Diana!!! :0)
I loved seeing your photos of Halloween ~ how wonderful. Cole is the most handsome Pirate and the costume is great. Now that is a lot of sweets! Thanks for sharing your night with us.
OHHHHHHHH! Look at his Arrrrrgg face in that first picture! Hahahaha, so incredibly adorable. I just want to give him a big squeeze. And his moustache and beard! Faboooo. You and your mom did a fantastic job with the costume. That is so much fun. And some mighty awesome pumpkin carving, too! Wow!
Awesome pics Diana! Cole looks so cute! What wonderful decorations he got to stand by! I don't see stuff like that around here, only on tv :) Glad Cole had a fun night and seeing all the potato chips is great! I have never thought to buy those instead of candy! I will next year though :)
How Lucky is that little guy to have YOU for his Mommy! I bet that was your favorite "canvas" ever to do your art work on. Cole looks just like one of your drawings. So delightful, Diana. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life. **blows kisses** Deb
Cole is looking rather swashbuckling in that costume. Well done. I love how everyone goes out of their way with the decorations, fantastic!!! Have a grrrreat sunday!!
I just love seeing photos of your little guy...he is so adorable and these Halloween photos are excellent...what a beautiful scene you have created at your home...something for your little one to treasure over the years. Well done!

**swoons** OMGoodness, those eyelashes! What a doll. Oh, Diana, prayers spiraling to Heaven that you be blessed with a dozen more! **blows kisses** Deb
Love your skinny bones Diana.. My kids have a book called "skinny bones" and it's so CUTE..because the skeleton lost his funny bone! Have a happy halloween
This week’s art task is to create a piece of art using the Mademoiselle Caroline Rivière image available for download here. so I did an ink sketch and watercolour for my version ...and added some Halloween inspired flare....Pop by the site to see the real painting and how people interpreted it with their art....by heading to Inspire me Thursday!

Holy Moly, how do you do it? You and Ces are so prolific in your art, it just boggles my wee little mind. I took a peek at the original and was even more amazed with your interpretation. **blows kisses** Deb
Hi Everyone...I made a new piece this week for the "Three Muses Challenge" ...I couldn't help it....since I had the wrong challenge last week...This is my special chicken Molly...she is ready for a night filled with fowl play!

My first reaction was a wide smile, then the chuckles (or cluckles) set in. Diana this is superb - so beautifully crafted, so frameworthy and so hilarious too. Fantastic work.
i would love to be a fly on the wall watching you go through your creative process! i love your work and always find my self saying "how does she do this?"
Cole loves my new book and I love that he wants me to read it to him every day! He sure is my biggest fan....
Hi Everyone!!! I am so excited.....my latest book is now available and I am thrilled with the way it turned out....It is the first book where I marry my writing with my illustrations. It is a wonderful story that I want to share with you all. I hope that this will become a family favorite.
Remember what it was like when you got to plant your first seeds? This year is the first year that this little boy gets to plant sunflower seeds in his Mom's garden. The book takes you on a journey as he learns to appreciate the things that really didn't seem like gifts and also teaches that hard work and patience can really pay off in the end. This is a wonderful read with children and can help children understand that everything has a special purpose in life. It may also inspire you and your family to spend some quality time together taking care of a garden. There are so many gifts around us and sometimes we just need to take a moment to be reminded of these wonderful gifts. And learning to be grateful for them can change our lives forever.
If you want to pick up a copy of this book you can head here to learn more or click on the photos above....
Have a wonderful night...I am off to finish my next book....
Hugs Diana

Hi Carolyn...thank you...having books published is always so exciting...but I am so excited that this is my first book where I wrote and illustrated the work!!!
Hey Diana! A big CONGRATS to you my friend !!! I'm really thrilled for you :) I'm sure your new book will do awesome! YOur son is just as beautiful as his mom too! He will be a little heart breaker some day , lol. My son is 10, what age group is your book geared for? I know at school they have them reading some bigger books already. He might like something that looks like fun instead of work, lol Congrats again, and take care my friend, Julian
Yay!! Sooooo proud of you Diana!!! Crack open a bottle of champagne.... oh wait.... it's only 8:30 AM....lol!!! This is terrific!!! The cover looks great!!
This looks lovely! What a gorgeous cover and of course Cole should be incredibly proud of his extremely creative and talented Mom! Congratulations!!! =)
Wow Diana! Congratulations! Your book looks absolutely wonderful. You must be so proud of what youve achieved! I'm very happy for you. Are you selling it overseas yet?;-) Would love to add it to my daughters childrens book collection :-)
To give you a little plug, I've given you "The Splash Award" and "The Icing on the Cake Award," the first at http://www.VaudevilleRose.com and the second at http://www.StarlightBlog.com
I mentioned your new book on Vaudeville Rose.
Don't worry if you don't have time to do anything with them. Just wanted to say Congratulations!
Hi Everyone....I was really drawing a blank this morning with the prompt on Illustration Friday...but then I sat down and this is what I drew....
Sammy was one of the fastest turtles around....but no one could beat the speed of Harry the Bunny...he was so fast you could barely see him hop on by.....
Hope you have a wonderful Friday!!! and fantastic weekend!

This is really lovely Diana, I really like how you've done a portrait type piece which is realistic but you have your unique style still in there!!! Great work!
That is a beautiful painting. The husband reminds me of my doctor when I was a child. He had two different eyes too. And I allways thought, that this is very pretty.
Hi Diane, don't feel obligated, but to find out about Milo's adventures, click on the Milo poster on my side bar. It's not to late to sign up if you and Cole would like to host a visit! Love, Deb
Hi Everyone...I have been so busy with the latest book and some events around it...on top of that I got a cold that lasted for about 2 weeks now....and I guess everything is catching up with me....but I will keep moving ahead....even with the extremes ( title of this old piece) ....I just sold a print of this piece and it reminded me of my work ages ago.....wow...amazing how we change as artists...we grow and change and get into our own styles...I still love this piece...but wow!!! where does the time go......
I have a few more days of work and catching up to do...so I hope you all know I am thinking of you ....I will visit you all as I get some moments....I do miss your blogs !!!
Great you are busy with such fun things, except for that cold of course...... We will be patient! I have read your book Diana and it is such a lovely one! So sweet positive and inspiring. My boys are too big for such books but it is good for their English so this weekend I will sit down with them and read it. You take care of yourself now!
Sorry to hear that you have been battling a cold. I hope that you are feeling better and maybe you can rest a little in the weekend. I mentioned your giveaway on my blog. that is a great picture.
Hi Everyone....when I first saw the prompt on IF for this week...the first thing I thought about was New York....everything is all a buzz there and if you don't focus it can all be a big blur of activity....I have to go there soon!!!
I had a lot of fun working on this piece...it was so out of my comfort zone...so loose and fun...and no details...I think I enjoyed it and I hope you do too....
Happy Friday !!!
hugs Diana

Fantastic! You're absolutely right. NYC can be such a blur with all those lights and bustling. You're going soon? Wonderful! You'll get to see all the Christmas lights up. I love those streaks on the taxis. They really look like they're zooming!
Out of your comfort zone?? LOL!! You make it look so easy to be out of a comfort zone. This is a wonderful piece, and I love the blur of it and all the colors. Love and hugs to you and Cole. Have a wonderful weekend.
Dear Diana I like your christmas stamp designs but this painting is my favourite of all the paintings I have seen from you. It is marvellous. I love it. Have a great week Hugs Janine
Hi Everyone...We had a busy few days ...helping some friends move into their new home...running around...it seems like the weekend just flew by!!! I looked at the prompt on MMM this week...and had no idea what to create...so I just sat down with pen and ink...and then came up with this piece....The meaning behind it...even though society has so many pressures for woman to fit in and be like other woman....I always think that it is important to stand out and be who you are...(stay true to yourself) ....(be a leader)....so the symbolism behind this piece is just that....we can strive to fit in...but we should never lose sight of who we are...and I often find that when you act like your true self you always stand out in a crowd!!!
Have a wonderful Monday!!!
Hugs Diana

Hi Everyone....this week over at the Three Muses blog...the challenge prompt is "Keys" and the first thing that popped into my head was the line..."Key to my heart"
So when I sat down tonight to do a little illustration ...this is what came to life...I think it is all about love and how sometimes even though we may have the keys to some one's heart ....love can turn our world upside down...and over again....and it is so much fun to enjoy each and every moment of it.....
hope you have given or are open to giving away the keys to your heart...
Hugs Diana
P.S. I have been listening to this song...and I love it....meet me halfway!

I was just looking at your acrylic stamps on etsy. They are very nice! Do you order them in large quantities? I would like to have some stamps made in the future... but more in short runs for personal use or gifts... possibly for retail down the road. Anyways, like I said, they are REALLY neat!
Hi Everyone....meet the Chanterelle triplets....they were trying to make in on Broadway and would take every opportunity they could...so when the Marvellous Moustaches show came to town they all auditioned and got the leading roles...they hated the moustaches...but they were getting so popular all because of the facial hair in this wonderful Broadway hit...they made the front of all the major papers and this made it all worth it in the end!!! Perhaps their next big roles would be "sans" the facial hair!!!
Happy Monday Everyone!!!
This is a little fun piece I made for MMM this week!!!
Hugs Diana
