Life as a possum...not easy...but rewarding

wow... life is crazy ... I've had some major slumps in the past year... not with my work. but with people ...I'm not ready to write about all that now...who knows if I ever will...I might just keep it all in my back pocket as a motivator ... I'm glad that I kept on trucking this past year ... sometimes that is what you have to do ... just keep truckin' ...

the barn that I will be teaching in Asheboro this Thursday...

I got to meet Roy and David from Roy's Folks...  so fun <3

well... I hope to blog more often...until then...I'm truckin'     

xoxo,   possum

from my little colorful corner....

so...lots going on here...tons actually...sometimes it seems that no matter how hard you work, things continue to knock you down...you have to keep getting back up...and once you brush yourself off, you realize that your fall was not that bad and when you consider everything in your little colorful corner, your actually very blessed...

lately I have been blessed with so much...sharing a few photos of my recent artistic endeavors from my little colorful corner...


the hens from my class tonight at Circa Gallery in Asheboro..."Wine Down with Nikki Cherry"

and speaking of my classes, art shows, etc...blessed to have made the funny pages a lot lately...

I'm excited about all the commissions I'm working on...dogs, homes, bridal bouquets...keep a look out for photos of them...follow thepreppypossum on facebook to stay up to date with commissions, new originals, classes and just the day to day with an ol' possum that loves to paint!

so here are the two paintings that are up next week at "Wine Down with Nikki Cherry" at circa:

the Cherries Cafe (clemmons class) will be painting the sail boat mentioned in the previous post...

so one of my top 3 favorite landmarks in Asheboro is being torn down board by board...so this upcoming saturday I plan on painting it again...I'm gonna demo the "Old P &P" and try to capture a smidge of its whimsy and charm on canvas...come watch as I paint and Betsy throws some pottery...the Chili cook off will be going on...should be a great day to be downtown Asheboro

I know there is lots more to share...feel free to share pointers with this ol' possum or if you hear of a show that might be perfect for a possum that paints let me know...

night world...may you sleep sweet and dream in color

xoxo, Nikki Cherry (the preppy possum)
