my ellies

thank YOU to everyone who bought my art! i've never had that happen so quickly-- over 10 pieces sold in under an hour and i am so. very. grateful. my heart is swelling at your generosity.

here are a few elephant paintings that are still available!

wish big, sweet darling! (little bear not included)
i love how the purple elephant is crackled like real ellie skin!

gallop and leap into a wish (m A letters not included)

and the cutest pretend game... ellie-go-phant

i also wanted to share some photos my lucky elephants in people's homes. if you've ever bought my original paintings or prints, i'd looove to see how you display them.

please send them to me:

matimcd (at) hotmail (dot) com

i'd love to see where the treasure seekers end up! hint, hint!

here's ali edwards' daughter anna's room. she commissioned an original elephant. totally an option for you too :-) i love painting ellies in any color. email me about that too! xmas is coming!

here's the rest of anna's dreamy space

i think i may have shared rosie's room before, but it's so cute, it's worth sharing again. she got that ellie canvas through oopsy daisy (they just emailed to say that their canvas sides are even thicker + more high quality than ever)! or a large print here.


andrea corona jenkin's daughter ava's room with my large red ellie print or smaller ones too!

i love me some ellies.

my art in rosie's room!

i loved seeing this nursery on facebook that a friend pointed out to me of her friend's daughter's room! how cool? rosie has a BEAUTIFUL room!



this elephant art is stretched on canvas and is from Oopsy Daisy! you can put in your zipcode and see where they are selling it closest to you. or online at various stores like this one. also my elephants are available as prints OR you could commission an original elephant of your very own too!

i started a personal flickr group to collect images of my art in your homes. please feel free to email me with photos you have at any point: matirose(at)gmail(dot)com

thanks!

ps i feel so encouraged by your comments about my every day painting practice! i borrowed the idea from my friend and inspiring artist marisa! i'll post a new painting later on today...

wow!

kelly sent me a photo of my original painting she scooped up from my shoppe. it fits in perfectly in her house. i love it. her stylin' is pretty perfect too. especially the green couch!

please keep sending me photos of y'all in my collab necklaces, shirts and art on your walls. it makes me insanely happy. more shirts and necklaces will be available at the SF renegade craft fair in july!

i'm in maine now... settling in to a routine and the frenzied count down below seems like such a distant place as i gaze out to our lush green yard and slow down. more on this later!

THANK you so much for all your kind words of support for my 1/2 marathon! i DID it. many profound thoughts along the way around leaning into my pain and strength on mile 10-13!

thank you also for all tremendous shoppe support and patience while i take a vacation and temporarily close it. you can still shop, but i won't be sending till july 1st :)

feather power momma in her new home across the world

i am thrilled when people send me photos and letters of how much joy my art brings to their home and sometimes (when it's wearable like my necklaces) on their bodies.

lutterlagkage from sweden bought this painting from the enormous tiny show (still a few feathered power ladies and one lucky elephant left!) and shared with me this lovely photo and note about the painting: She's got healing power and she reminds me to be the woman I truly am - every day!

i love the photo of wallpaper from her house tour (i can see why she liked the colors of the painting!) and her vintage crafted shop too, so much.

... i also love how you stumble across something on-line which inevitably leads to another amazing trickle down discovery... like this video featuring the music from the band called renee & jeremy on the website of lutterlagkage, which then inspired my discovery to lead my friend pixie (who wooow!! has beautiful new art work and an etsy shop now!) to go to their show in LA :) small crazy connected world i say, or as they say "it's big world", but feels little:
