I am so excited because Miss Mustard Seed featured my cow painting today on her blog. And, i guess the best part of all is that she really really loves the painting. I never know for sure when i do a painting for someone if they are really going to like it or not until they actually see it, so I was really a little nervous...
But she totally did, and oh my gosh she named her Eulalie! How cute and perfect is that!
Of course I would love it if I could sell thousands of prints of her, so then i could finally get my ( insert really bad word here) car inspected because no matter what i do THE ENGINE LIGHT won't go off...!
and then pay off my mortgage so that when i get older than i am even now, which is old as ( insert the worst word you're comfortable with here) i won't be living in the homeless shelter...
and it would be even more cool if i could afford to rent a little beach cottage for a week each summer, and maybe have an old pink Cadillac with cream leather interior, and send my kid off to college so that he dosen't live with me and Mr. Fracturedfairytale until he is 30...
and the most cool thing of all would be if i would quit having anxiety attacks about everything, because i can't drive to my fantasy beach cottage in my fantasy pink Cadillac if i get panic attacks every time i go somewhere..
but i don't think money will fix that... oh well...
The end...
Cindy you're a lovely and talented artist! I'm so happy for you and absolutely love your gorgeous painting. Best wishes! Heather

I just went through your WHOLE blog! I Love your paintings, they are beautiful! I came from miss mustard seed but now will be following you too... I can't wait to see more of your beautiful work! (I don't know too much about the mechanics of a blog) but I've seen blogs with tabs under the header leading to pages. Maybe you could post pictures of all your paintings in one spot to admire?
ReplyDeleteI have a beautiful pet cow named Johnny. He'd look handsome with all of yours ;)
You are an amazing talent. I hope all of your dreams come true. Great blog so charming and funny, it's also a huge pleasure to look at your beautiful art.
ReplyDeleteI linked over from Miss Mustard Seed's blog. It's been a long time since a painting grabbed at my heart like this one does. What a gift you have....the detailing on his little eyelashes. Oh be still my heart!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour sense of humor with all the plates you are carrying is very refreshing and inspiring.
Here's to pink cadillacs and beach houses. Some dreams do come true...just keep believing and don't give up on them! Xo, Sue
Cindy.....this painting is so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGlad you shared it with us.
Have a wonderful day.

Oh I love the cow!! I wish you all the luck in the world selling your fabulous paintings. Then you can get the car fixed, send the kid to college and buy your dream cottage. Hmmm, can I come too??
ReplyDeleteCindy, I came over to say how beautiful the cow is and doesn't it make you feel good to see someone love something that you created :) I hope you get a million orders for cows!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Leah and I was the one who painted the "inspiration" white cow that started this all off. I just wanted to say that I think you did a BEAUTIFUL job...your painting is truly wonderful and I wish you all the good fortune in the world!! xox Leah
Cindy, I'm over from MMS! I love the Eulalie painting! We are cattle farmers so this would fit perfectly into our home! Now to persuade my husband that I need it badly!
ReplyDeleteYour talent blows me away along with your humour!
ReplyDeleteOf course she would love it...she'd have to be an idiot not too! OMG love love this cow!!!
I am so behind on my visits...this working for a living really sucks!!!
One day when i am rich i will have you paint me an oil of the sea!!!!!!!

You are incredibly talented! IF I could, I'd order a painting from you in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!

I read her post this morning Cindy and you really deserve the praise! The painting is wonderful! This could only mean good things coming your way!~Hugs, Patti
ReplyDeleteI totally could see you starring in a Reality TV show! It would be about this amazing artist that is practically starving and having all these financial dilemmas and all she wants to do is paint! Throw in a few panic attacks and a pain in the butt son and you have a magical hit winning series! And lots of money!!
ReplyDeleteI really could see this...anyway, I love the cow. You know that. It is so great that you are getting some recognition for your talents.
now THAT is a Beautiful cow. Prob the cow I could call Beautiful. You Should be excited!!
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing a pink Caddie in your future my friend. The way you express yourself through your words and art is fabulous..I bet you would be a hoot to get drunk with..
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all the praises coming your way you deserve them..and thank you for stopping by my blog and making me smile. hugs from Savannah, Cherry
I see Cherry is from Savannah too! That makes two huge fans in Savannah, so I'm sure you should feature some work in one of our wonderful art galleries downtown. I can assure you they'd sell out.
ReplyDeleteMiss Mustard Seed is so lucky to have this hanging in her home, I am way beyond jealous

It's a beautiful painting and Eulalie looks great in Miss Mustard Seed's family room. We all wish we could wave our fairy wands and magically have a painting by wonderful YOU and then fulfill all your dreams, starting with the car. It's sad, but my wand doesn't work worth squat! Instead I will buy a lottery ticket and think of you shld I win the BIG ONE, and then all your wishes can come true too, and I will have one (or more!) of your fantabulous paintings. All the best, Patty/BC
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are absolutely amazing! I'm saving my pennies for a cow! Maybe a floral! It doesn't matter your work is to die for! You are truly blessed with talent. You are going to look fabulous in your pink caddy, top down rockin to Aretha Franklins song "Pink Cadillac"!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteYour post is so funny!!
But your work is beautiful, you are so lucky to have such a great gift (I am sure it came with a lot of work!!)
The pink Cadillac and little beach house, I believe it will be your one day!
Hugs,
Bella

You have true talent. Beautiful. Your cow paintings make me want a cow! Love.
ReplyDeletebeautiful picture...hope your art career takes off and that all of your dreams come true!
ReplyDeleteCindy - your cow turned out amazing!!!!!!! I want one now! Also, I can't remember if I wrote this you to you already or not (my brain is working at about 5% these days...) but that comment you left on my blog about capturing how "precious and heavenly a little girl can be, with tousled hair, and a little kissy mouth... grubby and earthy... and at the same time like a fairy or butterfly" completely touched me. You write so beautifully and put into words what I never can! I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh Cindy what a beautiful painting! The light you have captured is superb and oh the eyelashes!!!! Warmest of wishes and hugs from a chilly England - Glenda xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm sure all of your dreams will come true! I love beautiful Eulalie!
