I started painting this in a class I was teaching and loved it so much I took it home and finished it. I love the serenity of the scene and the warmth the sun gives on this cold winter day. I hope you love it as much as I do.

I’m giving a HUGE discount to my first 10 customers at my Etsy store.

Original (digitally) painted portrait from your favorite photo  for $20!!!

Grab them fast, because they’ll be $75 once the first 10 are gone!

Here’s a sample of a portrait I painted.

I had the opportunity to take some super fun pictures of some great Seniors this last weekend as they got ready for the Homecoming Dance.

It was so much fun! They were so great to shoot. I felt like I was on the red carpet at the Emmy’s with beautiful people surrounding me.

Here’s some of my favorite photos from the lot.  Enjoy!

I’m working on some really fun doodly whimsy winter fun! This is my first family, and my husband has psychoanalyzed that it is representative of my mother and father with the way I view myself. Blah! It’s just a silly fun picture for the holidays.  Although the Dad does kind of look like my dad… a little… if you squint your eyes… really hard.

Hope you enjoy it!

I had so much fun painting this happy bright snowman. I think I’ll make him a family.

I painted this last night and I’m so happy with the results.  I used some new techniques that almost gave it a watercolor look.

I think I’ll have it printed on canvas for my front room.

One of my newest loves is painting portraits from photos.

I’ve set up an Etsy shop to take commissions for these beautiful projects. They are digitally painted and can be printed in big or small sizes. Once I’ve painted one the customer get’s the file and they can have it printed again and again… for themselves and gifts (sorry you can’t sell my work on these babies).

Here’s an example:

Friends I have come to a decision to hang up my pattern making apron and put my painting apron back on.

After 3 years of trying to absolutely fall in love with pattern making, I am admitting that I really don’t like writing out the patterns – at all!

I have been a bit conflicted over this subject for some time now. At first I thought Machine Embroidery would fix my frustration. I did find it really neat and exciting, but then the same ugly problems started popping their faces into my daily life. The real problem?? Instructions. I hate them.

I would be on a really great creative streak and everything would come to a hault for the stinkin’ instructions. *sigh* They simply ruined all of the fun. Not to mention I never seamed to finish anything, because I was avoiding the instructions.

So after much thought, and some prayer, I have come to the conclusion that I want to just be an artist! I want to doodle, and paint, and do all things digital – well artsy digital that is.

I feel such a relief that it almost makes me want to giggle.

If you love art, and you love my style, just hold on to your seats and get ready for some eye candy.

Love you all,
