Working away...

I have an art show coming up November 14th (so excited) and have been creating some new art for the show.

Here are some of my new backgrounds I created recently:



I started collaging some organic branches and leaves to the backgrounds:




Next I will be collaging some little birds and maybe adding some hand-painted elements to the pieces. So exciting and so much to do!

Oh and guess what I bought...fairy lights!



I thought they were so cute and totally brightened up my desk! The coolest thing about them is that they plug into your laptop with a usb drive. How clever!

Well I am off to get ready for the coming week..have a great Sunday!

Cafe!

This is a painting I am working on for my kitchen. It needs a lot more work but I kind of like the progress I have made so far. I love cafes and the idea of having a painting of a cafe in my kitchen makes me happy:) Alfresco dining all year round!

Doodles and a painting!

Hello! I actually got to work in my studio today...yay! Here is a painting that I am actually working on for ME! It is going in my kitchen as soon as I finish it...here is the progress so far:



I still have collage elements to add but the background is pretty much done except for some touchups...it is not as colorful as I normally am but it needed to match my kitchen:)

Here are some doodles I have been doing...I am SO over drawing realistically...this is so much more fun.






Ok, well I am off to hang out with the husband...we are just chilling out this evening..it is raining and yucky here and we feel like being lazy bums:) What are you doing tonight?!

Featured!

Hello! I just wanted to pop in really quick and tell you that an amazing artist named Karen Fields has featured my Midnight Dragonfly artwork on her blog.

If you get a chance check her out. Her paintings are simply beautiful and make you think spring is on the way! Here is one of my favorite's of Karen's. It is called Cottage Bohemian and is an 8 x 10 original painting. You can buy it here.
