The Book Den Personalized Original Painting by Catherine Holman

In this quiet little village lined with brick sidewalks and old storefronts Betty found her dream.  This is where she opened her own shop, The Book Den.  She restored the building with the wide plank floors and fixed an apartment upstairs where she could retire after the shop closed at 8pm.  Grabbing one of the books off a shelf, she curls up in her favorite chair to read until she can no longer stay awake.

This 8" x 10" personalized painting is finished and available in my Etsy Shop.  You can have your name painted on the shop sign above the door of the shop, i.e. Holman Book Den.  

Prints will be available soon.

Preview of a New Book Store Painting

I completely forgot that I needed to paint a book shop to add to my personalized paintings.  Hopefully I can finish this in a couple more days and will have it up for sale in my Etsy Shop soon.  There is a lot more detail to add and this is my favorite part of a painting.  This book shop stays open late and the owner lives upstairs in her cozy apartment where she loves to read of course!

Yarn Shoppe and Cupcake Paintings

I've had a few requests for a yarn shop painting and here it is! 

"Knit Wit Yarn Shoppe"

Stella and her sister Delores own the yarn shoppe in the center of town. New friendships have formed with the wonderful customers who sign up for their classes. You could say they are a close knit group. The two sister's spent the day decorating the shop for autumn and whipped up a batch of pumpkin bread to serve in their classes along with a mug of hot spiced cider.

For those who don't want the expense of an original painting, it will soon be available as a print which can be personalized.  This painting is listed on eBay and you can click on the title above if you are interested.   The auction ends tomorrow night. 

I also have a little cupcake painting that I finished yesterday and listed on eBay.

"Acorn Caramel Cupcake"

A caramel surprise is tucked in the center of this dark chocolate cupcake with turquoise frosting. This treat is topped with a caramel acorn dipped in melted chocolate and then in chocolate sprinkles. A turquoise and brown dotted ribbon is wrapped around the edges of the canvas and tied in a bow at the top.

I saw these little acorns on another website and they are simply made with caramels.  You place 5 or 6 in the microwave at a time for about 5 seconds.  Roll between you hands to shape like an egg.  Dip one end into melted chocolate frosting (from a can) and then into chocolate sprinkles.  I can't wait to try this perfect treat for Autumn!
