This weekend I was blessed to be invited to attend a baby shower for the grandson of a dear friend. I purchased a couple of very cute outfits to give the new mother as a gift but at the last moment decided to also include this piece and my sketch of a calf licking his nose. I printed them out on acid free art paper, matted them and signed them. I also included the poem I wrote for "Who Needs a Tissue". (To read that poem just scroll down to my May 7, 2016 post) I think that these two prints make wonderful nursery art or would look great hanging in a country kitchen.
So this got me thinking about the holiday weekend coming up and so I decided to put together a blog special offer. I usually sell these 8 x 10 matted to 11 x 14 inch prints for $45 each but for the next two weeks (ends May 31, 2016) I am offering a special package to my online blog and website visitors only. Both numbered and hand signed prints, along with a copy of both of my poems for $50 (plus $13 shipping in the good old USA). Here is the link to my Down Country Roads Gallery. Just click on the Paypal button located at the top of the gallery to make your purchase. While you are there, please feel free to checkout my other gallery tabs for my other works at JulieTownsendStudio.com.
I don’t understand it at all when I say
There are people I know that are not at all keen
To eating anything that is leafy and green
It is perplexing to consider the price they may pay
For eating our veggies is one way to stay
With your body fueled and your muscles lean
Packed full of good stuff with very long names
Plenty of essential acids, vitamins and minerals galore
All vital and important items needed to fuel your core
I’m not joking, pulling your leg or making false claims
This is for real and I’m not playing games
Eating the colors of the rainbow will help you soar
Red is good for your heart
Blue and purple work wonders for you brain
Green is packed with essential minerals so you don’t feel the drain
Filling your plate with lots of bright colors will get off to a good start
To keep your eyes healthy and reading off the chart
Orange and yellow are the colors for vision that will bring the most gain
All that about color just to say
Don’t forget to eat them 5 times a day
Leave me a comment below to let me know if you like either the artwork or my feeble attempts at writing poetry. Catch you on the next blog post.
