5 out of 5 starsThis print is everything I expected and the words are inspiring. I purchased it as a gift and my friend is very happy with it. The print arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. I love those greens, too! As did my friend. I will definitely be buying from this seller in future. ~ Linne

5 out of 5 starsThis treasure of a painting is a gift for a friend, but in truth it will be hard to part with. The colors and textures are vibrant. It's a piece that grows on you by the day as you discover more and more layers.
Shop owner is professional and helpful. She included a few cards with my purchase and sent the package across the globe in under two weeks. Definitely will buy from this seller again. -

Creating Happiness, One Painting at a Time
After a long and busy career in teaching and life-coaching I have retired and can once again spend time doing what I most love - living a creative life.
I love to play in my studio, with paint and paper and glues and glitter. I love making pretty, whimsical girls and butterflies and flowers. I love textiles and beads and often create bracelets and sun-catchers and cushion covers and ..... well, anything that takes my fancy really. Sometimes I just take photographs and turn them into cards.
My mixed media paintings always have a message, a quote, a thought , or a mantra on them. They are most often created for a particular person and sometimes only limited edition prints are available in my Etsy shop. I do try to have cards and postcards available of the most popular works.
My personal motto is 'Live Contentedly' I seek to find quiet joy in all I do, I try to live in the moment and keep the negative voice at bay. I look for the good in the world and I laugh loud and long every day.
I create all my paintings with love and happiness. I hope you will enjoy them too.

Pauline
Owner, Maker, Designer, Curator
Living life quietly, having fun, creating pretty things. I have a blog called The Contented Crafter where you can follow along with me and my Maine Coon Orlando as we enjoy our daily adventures and share my random thoughts and artistic creations.
Shop policies
My work usually includes an uplifting sentiment or quote to enrich the life of the owner and viewer. [I believe in positivity and beauty as great healing agents for the entire world]. I often create a piece for a specific person and so the original doesn't always appear in the shop.
I want my supporters and purchasers to be happy and warmly invite you to ask questions where ever I have not been clear enough.
I have sent several original paintings and prints oversea now and all have arrived safely - which is heartening for all of us I think :-) I pack very well to ensure your art arrives undamaged. Please do read the shipping policies carefully however as there is an optional insurance charge.
Thank you for coming by, thank you for favoriting my shop and thank you for your interest in my work. I am always delighted to hear you like something, even if you don't buy it :-)
Please visit my blog if you want to know more about me and what I do:
