Finished Another one….Slithy Toves 24×24

So, I did this for an assignment. As one of the requirements, I had to put words in it. So, here it is, words in the tree, from none other than, the Cheshire Cat. 🙂 

Have a great day!

Make Art That Sells Assignment: Tropical Fruit Bolt Fabric

Well, I finished it, I realize it’s messy but I also just received an invitation to participate in Art in the Pearl, this fall in Portland, so I’m trying to juggle both sides of the art business, as in, painting and doing this awesome online class! 

A Lesson In Neutrals Leads to Change

I changed up these two paintings quite a bit because I felt that adding neutral colors would make them look more “professional.” Have a look. 🙂

Assignment Bootcamp March: Jell-O Molds!

Well, here it be, my assignment for the March Make Art That Sells Assignment Bootcamp! Many drawings and mediums later, I ended up going with my usual, fluid acrylic paint. Then, I went over them in a thin black artist pen. Enjoy! 

Fresh Paint: “Dizzy Daffodils” 30×40

Pardon the photo quality, I just wanted to get this up on line before I got a professional photo taken. 🙂 With two little ones at home, I sometimes find painting quite a challenge, but this one is DONE! Walking around my neighborhood, I am seeing SO many daffodils and other beautiful things springing, if you will, up everywhere! So, I just HAD to paint some. 🙂 

I had an “Ah Ha Moment” with this one. I always cover up my beautiful papers that I lay down as a background, and I feel like I have wasted all these wonderful papers. Today, I decided to try waiting until almost the end, when I sort of know where the light areas are going to be, and collaging over those. 

Have a good evening, thanks for looking.

A “Snowy” Canopy with Ribbon, Tape and Paper

My five-year-old daughter has been cutting out snowflakes like mad lately! She says she wants to keep them all, all over the floor. 
🙂 So, I decided to make them into a little garland out of some leftover ribbon and artist’s tape today. I am starting to thing that her bed is a place for me to do little installations. Enjoy!

Day 2. Glue Dried and Paint, not quite dry yet. :)

Well, I am not sure where I will go with this one, but it’s feeling almost over at this point. 🙂 I think it looks “totally 80s.” But, then again, I am going to see Depeche Mode in Vegas this Sunday! 🙂 So, I guess it fits my mood.
