I'm Now "Colouring Outside the Lines"

THE PICTURES BELOW WILL NEVER DO THE ART OR THE ARTIST JUSTICE, BUT I AM PROUD TO DISPLAY THEM FOR ALL TO SEE.

And they're MINE, ALL MINE, buuhuuuhawhawhawhawheeheehee!!!

They're original works by none other than Vancouver blogger/artist/fine human being Andrea Pratt, from Colouring Outside the Lines.

And I am now in the privileged company of fellow bloggers Cherrypie (UK), Brian the Mennonite (Canada) and Kyknoord (South Africa) as proud owners of Andrea's work.

There may be other bloggers I know who have scooped up some of her works, but these I know for sure have Andrea Art in their homes.

Here's my beauts, and I apologize again for the off-centre pix:

Andrea is one of the most eloquent bloggers on the Web and clearly one of the most talented. I bought these from the Etsy site for a mere pittance.

I won't go into the costs of framing (!!! :) but it's worth it.

I also want to mention that while she isn't making a big deal of it herself, she's nominated in the artistic category for a 2006 Canadian Blogger Award so I'd urge you all to vote for her.

But check out her blog (find her on my favourites list on the right) and have a look at some of her artistry which explodes in colour and sensations that are unbelievable...

Then make up your own mind.

I wonder what it must be like for Andrea or any other artist to know their creativity graces the walls of people around the planet for an entire lifetime -- and just how that must feel.

Thanks, Andrea.
