Sunday morning postcards

A couple of weeks ago Inspiration Avenue had an art auction to benefit Angel Faces.
There were some lovely pieces in the auction.


Luckily I placed  the highest bid on a  painting called Pink 2 by Lisa Wright.
On the back she painted some awesome eyes...
Aren't they cool?
The eyes have it!

Also I won this lovely photograph by Tammy:
Absolutely awesome!
All of this art will proudly hang in gemmashouse.

Speaking of auctions the shrine auction to benefit the street children of Oaxaca
is coming June 1st. More about the shrine auction and for more Postcards from paradise visit

  1. Lucky you! That cantina door is fantastic. The layers of paint and the rusted metal....just think what stories they could tell.

  3. I love the cantina door, too, and I'm checking out the links you sent. Everyone visiting Rebecca introduces me to new facets of the art community. I'm a pretty new artist and I need inspiration.

  4. I could squeeze you to death right now.
    I did kill a kitty when I was 3 by loving it too much...AAARRGG!!!
    I wouldn't really kill you, but I might squeeze the dickens out of you if I had the chance.
