swiss days is here!! sharing heavenly mother in our homes & hearts through art

CANDYcolored studio podcast episode 240:

a sneak peek of new pieces i'll be bringing to midway swiss days!! are you coming?!! it's friday august 30th and saturday august 31st from 8 am till dark. i'll attach a map below where i've circled my booth A-40 which is south of the the entertainment tent, next to the huge evergreen trees. text me if you can't find me at the event (435.709.2780).

i've been sending my email list peeks, here is a link to the latest email. if you're not on my list and would like to be, sign up here.

prints start at $45 and the largest framed are $295. original oils start at $200 for a framed circle mini. there are paris pieces, landscapes, florals with birds, bees etc. i'll have some larger pieces and even some very large pieces (up to 48x96).

my favorite moments of swiss days are the intimate and spiritual conversations shared. the great majority of these special chats have been on the topics of our heavenly mother. it never surprises me the desire we as women have to know our divine feminine. you're so loved and i hope if there's one thing you get from experiencing my art -- it is that your divine parents and savior love you personally.
