New Series Start, website update

Hey everyone!
I have a decent sized update for you. First of all today marks the first day of my new series 50 paintings in 50 days... If you haven't heard I am doing 50 paintings in the span of 50 days. I will post a new 4x6 painting every day during the 5 day work week. I am getting the weekends off from the series as well as the holidays.. Each painting will be posted daily on my website http://www.heartsaflutter.net , on all of my social networks and on my etsy shop. http://www.sunkitty7.etsy.com. Each painting is priced at $50 to go with the 50/50 theme and the series topic is "Hearts and Skulls" meaning there must be at least 1 heart and 1 skull included in each of these paintings.

The first painting in this series was posted today. It is entitled "The Doorway, #1/50" and is up for sale on my website and in my Etsy shop.


"The Doorway, #1/50"

Find it here on my Etsy shop!

Or Here on my website!


Focusing my mind on another series I have in the works, if you are part of my facebook crew then you have seen updates of a current painting that I have been working on featuring a giant star and a beautiful celestial maiden. I have decided to add more paintings to this theme and make a series of these paintings. The series will be entitled "Wandering Stars" and will feature celestial themes. Stars that are cute, stars that are friends, and stars that shine bright.... Luminous and sparkly stars wanders through the sky as a beacon of light, giving us a glimmer of hope to hold to and wish upon. The first painting in the series is nearly done... stay tuned for that...


Next, I have FINALLY gotten my website up and running, after it seems like months and months of struggling with it... I really needed something that was easy for me to update and add products to. And, I think I have finally accomplished that. There are a few pages that are still under construction, but the store is up and running, right now we are only accepting Paypal. Its a work continually in progress, but I am happy with the progression and I hope you like it to.

Anyhow, that's all for today. Stay tuned tomorrow for the next painting in the series! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day, and had a fantastic Halloween!!
Talk soon!! xoxo~Christina

Big Update!!! New Prints and Original up!!

Hi Everyone!

Finally getting around to writing an update to my blog. Got some new info for you, new prints and an some cool stuff about my new website under construction.
First up, I have my newest painting for you, Violet Wings, Get You Nowhere. I have decided that I really enjoy painting angels. The concept of angels and the reality of their being have intrigued me for a long time. Recently I've been doing quite a bit of reading and research on the entities.
Angels are considered the messengers of God. These of course are the angels that have not turned to the darkside... (if you will excuse the Star Wars reference).. I really LOVE Star Wars... Anyhow the angels that turn to the darkside, are the fallen angels. I really want to interweave this reality into my angel paintings somehow, so I have decided to start categorizing the angels for what they are. From now on my angels will either be under the series category of "The Messengers" or the series category of "The Fallen". In the future, expect to see several angels coming your way as I am really focusing my attention on these magnificient feathered ones... :)

My newest Angel painting is part of "The Fallen" series of angels. She is a pretty little angel donning a skull hat and her dress is loaded with a collage of pink skulls! Can't you just feel her despair?? Because Violet wings... just get you nowhere.. :) I have decided that fallen angels do not need to be grotesque creatures, although some can be. Since evil can appear as beautiful as good, there is a dichotemy between angels of good and evil. Both can appear as an angel of light. I suppose this is why you should never judge a book by its cover. Besides why shouldn't the fallen still be very very cute??

"Violet Wings, Get You Nowhere" 11"x14", Acrylic Painting Oval Canvas


Next order of business is prints!! I have decided to make it a focus to build up my 8"x10" print gallery. Today I have two new 8x10's to share with you! If you like the Violet wings painting above, but don't have the money right now to plunk down for the original.. Consider getting the 8x10 print! Also a few months ago I painted a giant mermaid that was holding her clown fish friend, I have made that into a print for those of you that are interested! :)

"Underwater Friend" 8x10 Open Edition fine art print

In the next few days I'll let you know the progress of my website. It's coming along nicely, but the fact is that I am not a crazy fast web designer... it really takes me awhile so I just try to do it a little at a time to curb my frustration. Or to curb my desire to throw my laptop out the window.. lol!! I'll tell you more about it later.

Until then please keep in mind that I have a whole bunch of Original paintings up for auction. I would love for these to go to a good home. I am accepting best offers on many of these, so if you see one you really like please do not hesitate to ask, I won't be offended. :)

Spring Cleaning!! ACEO's!! ZAZZLE!! HUGE update!

Hi Everyone!! I have a huge update for you today! I have been very busy going through my older works of art, and decided it was time for a much needed art spring cleaning!! I have been going through my personal ORIGINAL finished paintings stash and have come up with some pieces that I kept for one reason or another, and have decided that it's time to let them go so that they can bring joy to someone else in the world!! As well as to make extra room in my painting space! lol!

All of these are listed in my EBAY STORE. I have set a buy it now price, however, I am completely open to any reasonable/best offers.

The first one is called "Angel of Destiny" a 10 1/4 x 14 1/8 inch ORIGINAL mixed media painting. She is a beautiful angel with fantastic pink wings!! Created in 2007, this is one of my favorites!! An Angel in all her glory bathes the forest in light! A little demon has to hide from the glory of it all! The light is just too majestic and infused with good!!

The second one is called "LadyBug". It is a gorgeous nice sized 12"x16" inch richly colored original acrylic painting on Canvas Sheet. This beautiful ladybug inspired fairy is a painting I created in 2007. She is the QUEEN of the Ladybugs!!

The third one is called "Prayer of Protection". 10 1/4 x 14 1/8 inch BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL mixed media painting on Arches watercolor paper. Created in 2006, One of the few dark angel pieces that I have done. This original has red foil hearts burned all over the bottom of the painting. The foil shapes are burned on in Red, Silver and Gold!! This painting is based on the idea of Praying for Protection while we are going through the most deeply painful circumstances.
