Christmas 2018

These are quick paintings I completed the week before Christmas for friends and family members. I shall know next year to start earlier (when the mood hits and time allows).

These were ... rushed, to say the least and I know without doubt they could have been much better if more time and love had been given. Still, I'm happy with them and they recipients are as well, so there is that.

Autumn Sky

A collection of mini 5x7 paintings I completed in October of 2018 for my daughter's wedding. These all came with an easel for quick and easy display, but they could also be framed or not and hung on a wall. They sat in the centre of the tables with the centerpiece and one person from each table got to take is home as a remembrance. The backs were all signed with my daughter and husband's name and the date. :) Such a wonderful day this was. 

Poolside

Been painting like a mad woman to get ready for a show in late October.

Cabin in the Snow

I have to give credit where credit is due and in this case, it's the late Bob Ross. What an amazing man he was. I never fully appreciated his talent until recently. This "Cabin in the Snow" is a Bob Ross inspired piece and I love it. Still working to get the water right, but man, he has given me so many tips and tricks that I'm painting like a mad woman now! :) Thank you Bob. This one's for you ~

Across the Universe

Tried my hand at a couple "universe" pics and I LOVE this!! I will be doing much more like these two in the future. The most wonderful thing about paintings like these are the sky's the limit; you can use any combination of colour and pattern you like. Whatever is appealing to you, you can just go for it. This is about as close to abstract painting I'll ever get. :P

Autumn Dream

Been a while since I've visited - a lot has been happening since my last post and I am in such an amazing place in my life right now. The poetry and painting is pouring out of me. In fact, I'm considering actually buying a table at one of the craft shows in the fall. Working diligently on some paintings for that. Here is one that I did recently ~

This one is called "Autumn Dream"

Mother's Day

Now that both of my girls have a child of their own, I wanted to give them something meaningful on Mother's Day. These were the paintings I decided to complete. :)
