Finally! After three years, we have published this adorable children's book. Thomas and Autumn is the sweet story of a little boy named Thomas who has a very special relationship with a very special chicken, Autumn. Thomas raises and shows chickens. He sells eggs. Thomas works hard in the barn. It takes him a while, but finally his egg sales earn him enough money to buy his very own chicken, a </atom:summary><link>http://melodylamb.blogspot.com/2013/05/childrens-book-published.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Melody Lea Lamb)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fzSrHYO6Zc0/UYuNqM3zG_I/AAAAAAAAEYY/Uahxk1yeK9Q/s72-c/Thomas+And+Autumn+Reduced.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188507188573051979.post-7873370579637033116</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-04-23T14:50:54.099-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Bunny</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Mother's Day</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Bunny Art</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Baby Bunny</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Melody Lea Lamb</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Snow Drops</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Flowers</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">small affordable art</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">small original art</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Melody Lamb</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Spring</category><title>New Bunny and Flowers Art</title><atom:summary>

The inspiration for "Baby Bunny 2013" came during one of my morning jogs. Recently when I was out jogging in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts, I spotted a patch of Snow Drops. These are tiny white flowers that herald the very early Spring here in New England. Winter seemed so long this year, and just as I was about to feel anxious about the season dragging on...I see Snow Drops!

Introducing my new "Simple Beauties Series" of original ACEO paintings. I've begun a series of miniature paintings (ACEOs) that are simple and refined. Most of my original art is very complex and full of detail, taking many hours to complete. These little works of art will be streamlined and spontaneous. I hope you enjoy the first of my  "Simple Beauties Series".

Between book illustrations, I am creating a tiny ACEO. What is an ACEO? The unique little art form known as ACEO (Art Cards Editions and Originals) is a small work of art done in the standard trading card size of just 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches. The ACEO genre was born on online and is enjoying a great success among artists and collectors. This week I'm painting "Spring Crocus and Mouse".

Twelve months ago, I decided to create a new (classy-streamlined-easy to use) art website. My vision was to build a beautiful website that allowed collectors to buy my miniature art, (in all the forms I now create), directly from me. Rather than navigating to different shops such as Etsy, eBay, Art Fire, Zazzle, etc., you can now browse and buy directly from my art website.
