Here is Cat's delightful new Angel - don't ya love her???

Today up for your consideration is this Large OOAK (one of a kind) folk art Angel painting. She has been in my head for a while and I just had to paint her. I think she came out fantastic and just the way I pictured her.


She is painted in acrylics on a stretched canvas over a wood frame, No staples on the sides. I love the way the back ground came out, it is like an old world style. It measures 18" x 24" and is sealed with an acrylic varnish for years of protection. The sides are painted in the same dark green as the grass. (it doesn't show up so well in the pictures) If you like what you see, you will love her in person!

She seems to just give this sense of calm when I look at her. She is signed and dated by me the Artist.
Thank you so much for looking!!

She also is offering this amazingly peaceful painting - Love this one too!!!
Balance with nature is a lesson well learned. There is beauty and calm even in a storm as the older witch teaches the young while the familiars look on through the mist out to the distance.

This is a wrapped canvas, no staples on the sides. The sides are painted in black and ready to hang. It is 11" x 14" and is signed and dated by me the artist. This is a recycled canvas and some of the little bumps show up close but you don't notice them while it hangs on a wall from a distance. I just hate to throw things away when they can be reused

To Dwell in Primitives Times...

One thing I love for sure is primitive lighting. I myself am guilty of "too much of a good thing" I have primitive colonial lamps all over my house. I bet Com Ed loves me as the eclectic meter is whirling around day and night.
I can't help it though, I love the look of colonial times and well lets face it, they used the bare essentials.
Today we do not always stop to appreciate the simple necessities of life until we have to go without them. Clean clothes, warm food, light.



Not all my lamps are electric some of them have grubby candles in them that smell sweet even when they aren't burning.
Old Antique spools are one of my favorites, with a look from olden days and the soft glow of a silicone bulb it gives the home a warm and cozy appearance.








One thing I hear the most from visitors is, "your house always smells like something is baking". It does, I have to admit I always have tarts burning in the warmer or candle jars lit. I love the smell of anything homemade. This is the illusion that I have been baking all day.

I wanted to share some of my favorite lighting with you, all of these are available in craft malls, Primitive stores and most antique shops. More and more you can find primitive artists and handcrafters making their own forms of early lighting. Nothing beats the smell of a grubby candle surrounded by a dish of sweet smelling fixins on a table in your entryway.

I hope everyone has a happy and relaxing weekend!
Prim Blessings,
Heather / Witch Hollow Primitives
