My latest..

Ok so I've once again been painting with watercolor and I am realizing that watercolor is what I'm most happy with. So beware there will be more watercolors ;) Hope you like this one. If you do, TELL ME!! :D

New Beginning

So I painted this one special for a new baby girl that will be born into my family pretty soon. My cousin and his wife are expecting her next month. I love this picture and if you recognize it, well it's because it is based off of the children's story Guess How Much I Love You by by Sam McBratney (Author), Anita Jeram (Illustrator). It is such a beautiful story and I absolutely love the illustrations sooo.. with a little tweaking and water color I was able to recreate it for my new little cousin. I'm thinking I may be doing more with this. I have always loved watercolor since I was younger, everything seems to turn out soft and bright. I love how this picture creates, although with rabbits, the show of love that is always so apparent in mother or father's eyes for their child.

Psalm 36:7 How precious is Your loving kindness, O God!Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.

Wearable flowers.

So it turns out, anything can be used as a canvas ;) Including my shirts :D

My posting

Ok so I'm definitely not the best blogger in the world but here I am again with some more paintings that I've done since I last posted. I've actually done more than this but some of them went on to other places aka to be hung in other places :D This one I call "Falling Flowers" I'm loving flowers right now and am kind of stuck on them ;) Hope you love them too!

Welcome/Go Away

So over the weekend we celebrated my sister's birthday. I decided to give her things to decorate her new place that she's moving into soon, so I went for the woodburner :) I love the woodburner!! It's the greatest versatile tool EVER! I usually make bracelets with it (leather bracelets not wood lol) but I made her a Welcome sign out of a wood plank thing (very technical term right there ;). It turned out great and I'm sad to say I didn't take a picture of it :'( but I will be making another one I'm sure :) so there will be a picture here some day. So I'm still at the art and I'm loving it more and more. I just hope my family doesn't get sick of me giving them things that I've made :P lol!! Today I am also working on a painting that will be on a t-shirt!! So excited about that :D I've gotten so many love it comments about my cherry blossom painting that I'm putting it on a shirt. Waiting for the branches to dry right now tho. So that's all for now, pictures to come soon :D but for now this one will have to do...

He's my sleepy pig dog :D I love him I hope you do too. :D

Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage,And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the LORD.

The Genius

And here's one sketch that I am ok with, still not what I wanted but are they ever?? It is of THE Genius Da Vinci. I call him THE Genius because he was brilliant in so many things including art (of course) and science and math and all these things that one person is usually only ok in one or the other. He was brilliant and used every part of the brain that God blessed him with.

Acrylics

Ok I've been working mostly with tempera paint and well if you have ever finger painted you have used tempera paint. It's cheap and a very easy thing to paint with, however, I feel that while I've been painting with it my pieces have looked well at least reminded me a little too much of a finger painting. So with that said I decided to work with a new medium, I've now tried oils, love the fact that they don't dry fast and I also HATE that fact because how in the world am I ever to get anything done when all of the colors are smearing together??? I've always loved water color and I'm thinking I need to work some more with that. Acrylics however I've never worked with but love the look of them when I've seen them used. Sooo.... I decided to try my hand at acrylics. Hating the fact that it dries faster than I can blink but other than that I'm enjoying them so I do believe I'll be working with them a little more depending on if I can afford them LOL!!! So here is my first acrylic painting... hope you like it at least a little :D

Some more..

Ok ok so I'm working on this one. It's going to be of my absolute favorite tree :D So this is most definitely a work in progress..

I'm working I SWEAR!!

Ok so I know I haven't posted in awhile but I swear I'm painting and sketching and all that jazz still. The sketches will NOT be posted because I'm NEVER satisfied with them except for one and I will post that :D Soo here is one of my water color and pastel creations. It's of my nephew being silly. He is such a sweet little boy I absolutely love him.
