Caution:Artist at Play-Artwork by Shana Rowe Jackson

  It has been a little bit since my last post so I figured I'd check in with what has been going on in my world. It has been a busy 2014 so far between commissions, series work, advertising and my day job. I have added more to my "Life in the 'Dale" series, and have added a new series to my freedom fairies collection called "Free as Celebration" where each fairy represents a holiday! I have started exploring pastels again and been trying new pastel supports with much personal success. I have been updating my print site as well, taking new photos of my work for better clarity, adding older artworks, and promoting like crazy!! Here is a glimpse at what I have been up to while I've been away from my blog!!

Since August is here and there are no holidays to speak of this month I thought it would be fun to celebrate the holidays that are fast around the corner. I love the holidays, and each one has it's own special traditions. I also love doing holiday themed work!! Here are a few of my favorite paintings representing my favorite holidays. Hopefully this will help get you in the spirit to celebrate the upcoming holidays!! My favorite holidays to paint in order of where they fall in a calendar year- New Year's Eve/Day- Valentines Day- St. Patrick's Day- Easter- Independence Day- Halloween-  Thanksgiving-  Christmas-
