A Bunny Diversion..Yes, It Was A Very Good Day

So, most of you know that Jaks got really sick at the very beginning of September.

It was a long and tiring road to get him well again, but he's healed up beautifully.
 Finally this past weekend, after a long month inside the house,
we were able to let Jaks and Jinny play outside.
They LOVE it outside...
We took the camcorder out with us as and...

my honey just finished this video of them being silly out in the yard.
(I just couldn't wait to share it with you all).

Now everyone can see Jaks and Jin playing outside...YAY...
We've been wanting to post bun videos to my YouTube Channel for some time now.
Jonathan had the great idea of calling each bun episode 'A Bunny Diversion'...
which is perfect because I am quite often diverted from my artwork because of the buns.
Now when you visit me on YouTube you can watch my artsy stuff & our bunnies, YAYYY again, ha ha.

We hope you enjoy it & hope it lightens your heart and makes you smile.

See you Friday.

XO Mandy, Jonathan, Ella with very sore feet, a sleepy Roo, and the romping silly Jin and Jak-a-boo

But I know I can't.

P.S. WOW This Blog Post is my 600th Post....holy smokes!

You Tube Watercolour Up For Grabs

Hi everyone, sorry for missing Monday's post, after a busy weekend with some jurying work, a return of Septembers nasty cold, working the gallery, meetings and a sore head I just wasn't up to composing anything new but I am back again feeling good and really looking forward to a full productive day in my studio. 

Today I wanted to show you the little watercolour that I created in my first You Tube Video...it's a sweet little 5 x7 piece...

This piece is one of a kind, will slide into any of your favourite 5 x 7 frames or mats...and it's up for grabs in my Etsy Shop for anyone interested in purchasing it...

It's companion was just sold but I think this piece stands just as nicely all on it's own.

There, now with this post done and the bunnies all fed, I am off to pop Practical Magic into the dvd player, brew up some cappuccino and get to my easel for a day of painting, than at 4ish I'll hop my little butt into the kitchen to whip up a lasagna for my sweet man and than enjoy an evening of Pysch episodes (which is my favourite show right now) and some felt star stitching (which I'll show you soon)...that's the plan anyhow! 

What are you guys up to today???  Whatever it is I hope you all have a lovely day as well.

See you this Friday most defiantly. 

Be Well....M & The Buns....who are slightly pissy that they can't go outside because it's too chilly & wet!

Mandy Saile - Painting Demo In The Garden 1 of 2

My first EVER YouTube video...Oh Oh Oh, I am sooo excited:D  It's a two-parter & each one is about 13 minutes each BUT the demo is outside in natural light & has the loveliest music so we didn't think people would mind the extra bit of length...

(Thanks again to the amazingly talented musician Bert Alink.  He gave Jon & I permission years ago to use his music & we still adore it & think it fits these first videos of ours perfectly).

...p.s. I'll be giving this original watercolour work away...so stay tuned for that as well!
