Announcement
NEW OPTION! Everything in the shop is now either available framed, for $50.00, OR unframed (but matted and ready-to-frame), for $25.00. Check the "Variation" section of the listing. Free delivery worldwide. All profits go to FOW-USA (see more in "About" section).
Some of the listings say the painting is matted AND FRAMED; some listings say the painting is matted only. I have not yet changed all the descriptions. You choose if you want it framed or not, and pay accordingly.
Line and wash watercolor and ink paintings, all 5"x7", matted up to an 8"x10" format, or else matted and framed with a black aluminum 8"x10" frame. Each is a one-of-a-kind ORIGINAL (not a copy)! Each work is archival. These make great whimsical gifts for yourself or a friend!
All profits go to Friends Of Ostomates Worldwide, a provider of free ostomy appliances to people in countries where these vital appliances are unavailable or unaffordable. Check the "About" section for more information.

5 out of 5 starsLast one to review! It's hard to see the tiny birds circling here, but when you can put your eyes a couple inches from the original, they're beautiful. How she managed to get such detail is incredible to me. Every one of the sketches I got is a masterpiece!

5 out of 5 starsEtsy wants each item reviewed separately, so (since I've bought 8 of these) I've got quite a few reviews here. I can't say it enough---these sketches are truly magical. Take a blank wall space and turn it into something extraordinary...

5 out of 5 starsHere's that photo-bombing squirrel! Now, every time I walk into my kitchen and glance up at the wall, a smile creeps onto my face. Note that the actual size of the art itself is about 4.5" x 6.5", but the finished size (with mounting) is 8" x 10".

5 out of 5 starsAs soon as I saw this gal, I knew I wanted her to keep me company while I was cooking! Then, I decided that the squirrel is saying "Hey, I want some of that, too!" Love, love, love this artist's work. I just got my newest set of four originals... I'll post three other quick reviews so you can see all of them...

5 out of 5 stars(See more of my reviews below!) This snowy evergreen has joined my forest on my "tree wall". As I walk around my home and see each of my first four sketches, I just smile over and over and over again! The photo is of the coasters I made (laminated) from the gifts that were enclosed with each of the sketches. So lovely!!

Thank you so much, Carol! I'm glad you like my work, and what a great idea to laminate the pub coasters, too!

5 out of 5 stars(More reviews below!) This one has sparkles around the head and eyes that don't show up well in a photo---it is gorgeous. I love how the Dutch girl and the Savior are looking at each other! I've left the foam board on each sketch, which gives a bit of depth and a little feeling of a shadowbox.

Thank you, Carol! It is hard to photograph iridescent and metallic watercolor paint.

5 out of 5 starsEtsy wants *each individual sketch* to have its own review, so I'm going to have a bunch here... The rice paper has wonderful texture that adds so much to the character of the piece (photos don't capture it well). I had lots of bamboo mesh and bamboo trim left over from remodeling projects, so I made my own frames (shown here). This one welcomes people into my kitchen!

Thanks again, Carol! I like your creative framing idea 😊

5 out of 5 starsI've now purchased eight sketches! My first set (a full box of four) arrived in about 3 days, in perfect condition. The day they arrived had been rough, but upon opening the package, I was so happy! There are details that just can't be appreciated from any computer photo---no words I could ever come up with would capture the magic of these sketches. Their simplicity calms me and their beauty warms my heart. A coaster-size watercolor is included as a gift with each sketch, and I laminated them so that I now have a gorgeous set of coasters, too! Thank you, Barbara, for sharing your extraordinary talent with us! Now I can look forward to receiving my next box of happiness!
