Wall Hanging

I finished this great portrait wall hanging a couple of days ago. It was really fun to make each face. It measures 24 x 24 inches and is on heavy duc canvas. I'm hoping to make another one when this one sells and keep one for myself. Have a great week.

New art Dolls

I've been busy. These are my new loves. Each have their own personal story. They are selling quite fast, but I still have a few in my shop. I will be making more girlies next week. Happy weekend! xo

A fun day with friends creating art

I really enjoy making art with friends. They inspire you in ways that you can't anticipate. This is a piece I created in a journal that I am re-doing. When I start a project I never really know what the end result will be. I start painting and let the magic happen. This piece has lots of collage elements peeking out.

Willow

This is my rescue dog Willow. I have had her now for almost a year. She is the sweetest dog on the planet now that she has her confidence. I painted her likeness today, I wonder if she approves. I always wanted to be a courtroom character painter, do you think I could get a job doing that! haha!

New art journal

How I make my journals

Artist journal, (again)

This journal is all made by hand, the covers, the binding, everything! I am working over an old journal and re-doing it. I love how some of the old elements show through. I have ripped, torn, and re-figured the pages, adding new work as I go along. I use acrylic paints and the backgrounds are watercolor washes.

She waited and waited for him, but he never returned. Her hair did grow longer, and she was grateful.

Rainy Day Painting on wood

I am excited about this new piece. It is created on wood with acrylics. I love the way the wood feels. The movement of the paint on the wood, and how the wood captures the paint. It has such a great feel to it. This measures 12 x 16.5 inches. I used artist grade acylics, graphite, and gesso. I was inspired by the weather here in Seattle. We are just starting our rainy season after such a long beautiful summer. This work will be in my etsy shop soon.

New Postcards are in!

$10.00 + $2.00 shipping

My new postcards just arrived! They are professionally printed and measure 4.25 x 5.5. They are glossy with a blank back. I created these from my original image in my journal. My friend said she looks like she's doing the "Down Dog" position in Yoga. I think she is Looking for love. Either way, send these sweet postcards to your friends, they will love them!

Art Abandonment

This is one of my entries for "Art Abandonment" hosted by the fabulous Michael DeMeng. This is a collaborative project between many artists. The idea is to make art, and then leave it for someone to discover. This is such an exciting project and so many cool ideas of where to abandon art. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ArtAbandonment/ I abandoned my art on Vashon Island, Washington
