Painting On The Road . . .

This summer was a blast for sure. Who knew I'd have so much fun painting in the forest. It was so inspirational being able to look across at the Teton Mountains while making MEGnificent masterpieces! I loved living, working and playing in Colorado, Wyoming and Montana national forests. I hope you feel the joy, freedom and adventure I've put in my paintings from the road : )

Quilt Transformation

It's so fun to see my paintings inspire people. A very talented Woman in Livingston Montana bought one of my bear prints last year and asked if she could use it as a springboard to make a quilt. This year she brought the quilt in to show me. It was so cool, she is quite gifted indeed. I love the way "grizzly bear" got transformed! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Four Margarets

I recently had 4 generations of Margarets in my booth in Warrenton Texas and I couldn't resist taking a photo. It isn't that often I am surrounded by so many others like me. It was so fun : )

A Different Point of View

with a gorgeous view.

We had our first festival ever in the San Francisco area - a mere 12 hour drive with our new vintage 1963 trailer. Tory did a marvelous job getting her ready and the first morning we woke up surrounded by mountains looking down at a goregous lake. It was confirmation for me we are exactly where we are suppose to be. Can't wait for the summer tour : )

clowning around and making BANK

I was recently at the home and HUGE art museum of John and Mable Ringling of Ringling Brothers Circus in Sarasota, FL. If you ever get the chance - GO! I was so impressed with how much art they had collected in their lifetime. There was a clown on the property so of course I had to have my photo with her. And I got to thinking. . . maybe I am going about this all wrong. I love to make people laugh, maybe I should run away and become a clown in the circus, work my way up the ladder, buy the circus and acquire an art collection bigger and badder than I ever imagined. It could happen. I'd make a good clown, that's a start - see : )

LOVE ME goes bye bye

Julie recognized this painting immediately and it stopped her in her tracks. She said she had seen me before at a festival in Tucson and fell in love with this painting because it looked just like her dog. She said she didn't want to pass it up twice and is now the new proud owner. This painting called Love Me is a signature piece for me and is my number one selling print. It screams feed me, love me, pet me and is a face every dog owner can relate to seeing everyday. I tell people I was feeling a bit needy the day I painted it and that's the truth!

I have lovingly replaced Love Me with a golden retreiver called So Golden that I am sure will spread even more joy than Love Me did!

Thanks Julie for becoming a collector of Meg Harper art!

Butterfly Kisses

My latest dog painting is of a chihuahua with butterfly ears. This painting is on reclaimed cabinet door. I love how his ears come over the frame I have faux painted on the cabinet. It is very sweet and available for $275. It measures 12 x 18 and doesn't need a frame. Perfect gift for the holidays for the chihuahua lover in your life!
