hard to believe it's already the final day of november. geez, where did the second half of this year go?! wow. ok, i digress....

etsy shop at a discounted price come 2017. yeah, i kinda like that idea...stay tuned for further details. :)

glacia 6x8 graphite on bristol |
and my current WIP/commission.
let me start by saying i always consider any/every commission a blessing but when they are back to back really kind wonderful clients, well that just makes the "blessing" so much sweeter.
a couple of weeks ago the sweetest lady came to me wanting to completely redo her daughter's bedroom based on a few of my
drawings (really?! this is really my life?! hashtag-blessed) and wanted this particular
drawing turned into a painting because it looks smooch like her adorable little girl who happens to be a "budding artist" herself. i wound up selling her some prints and taking on this commission...painting her ginger haired, december born baby girl (ginger...winter...december...three of my favorite things....destiny, indeed).
this is and always has been (and always will be) my philosophy...treat your customers like friends, make personal connections with them and they will come back to you time and time again. always staying true to myself...
"Nicole has been absolutely fantastic to work with! She is extremely responsive and has really worked with us to accommodate our special requests. The prints we ordered are absolutely beautiful! She shipped them out quickly and were packaged with great care. Nicole is an amazing artist! When you work with her you don't only get a quality product, you get great customer service. We look forward to working with her again!"
thank you, sara...for your kind words, becoming a "friend" and giving me a really good *excuse* to paint a ginger, winter loving little girl.
*LIMITED EDITION PRINTS OF THESE DRAWINGS AVAILABLE

had a few requests for PRINTS of my most recent commission since posting her last week (she is kinda cute...). she in NOW AVAILABLE in my
etsy shop.
if you'd like something custom created for your little one, please
email me and i will surely do my best to accommodate you.

etsy shop.
either way, it's always nice to do a little holiday shopping....early. ;)

few and far between 4x12, acrylic on canvas ©the enchanted easel 2016 |
inspired by my love of blue poppies and red heads..."few and far between". my latest painting.
i truly loved painting this one. the 4"x12" was an interesting size for me and one on which i had never before painted. also, the color scheme will go down as one of my favorites. i've always loved red heads. as a little girl, i remember always wanting to have red hair and green eyes (umm, yeah. that might have passed me by, being 110% italian....). ok, back to the painting....
blue poppies. another favorite. last year, on a trip to longwood gardens, i completely fell in love with these rare beauties. talk about GORGEOUS. just made to be painted. my original thought was a watercolor but then my creative little brain thought i'd merge two of my loves into one painting. "few and far between" was born.
PRINTS AVAILABLE
HERE. also, coming in a few weeks to my
shop will be PENDANT NECKLACES. crafted with my own two little hands. every single one of them. this beauty will be included in those. it's going to be good....:)
