Included in Three Different Treasuries!

Again, this past week-end, I found a lovely surprise.  Like last week, I found myself included in three different and lovely treasuries! Here is more information about the curators and some photos of the treasuries.  Thank you all for including me...I am more than flattered!

4leafclover seems to be strictly a buyer on Etsy, without a store,  and she put together a lovely treasury, Cuba Libre.  She included my Mamey Tropical Fruit Original Oil painting in her selections. I love this title, of course!




YanniCreations is from the Philippines and at her Etsy shop,  you'll find one of a kind handcrafted jewelry, pieces created mixing brand new and vintage materials and lots of recycled, upcycled and delightful handmade goodness.
She made this gorgeous Sunscapes treasury and included my Miami Beach Sunrise.




Mariana and Paula, two sisters from Buenos Aires, Argentina, who are known on Etsy as Branda put together this unique treasury "Americana".  They featured my painting, Different Strokes Cupcakes.  They knit with two needles and make beautiful knitted scarves, shawls and other handiwork in their store. They are both extremely talented. Check their Etsy here.

Mamey Oil Painting






This impressionistic painting was done in thick oil impasto with palette knive and brushes and it shows a "mamey" cut in half. The mamey sapote (Pouteria sapota) is a species of tree that is native to southern Mexico. The tree is cultivated not only in Mexico, but also in Central America, the Caribbean, and South Florida for its fruit, which is commonly eaten in many Latin American countries. It's a very popular fruit in Florida, and the Caribbean islands. The fruit is large, and it's highly esteemed because of it's wonderful, sweet taste. I love mamey shakes (batido de mamey)!

Sold.
