Reminiscing about the past...

A high contrast ink painting I did of the kids by the lake in Jacksonville. Thanks to Joshua's awesome photo taking skills and opportunity- seizing savviness!

Headshots of junior derby team Minor Threat! I had a lot of fun taking these! Credit for Evil Eye goes to......? Hmmm.... As soon as I know, I will send them props! I love it!

Sunday's bout is sure to have some great action when these Threats take the track.

Come check out Cheerful Canvas's Painting Parties! I am proud to have this concept as part of my home Studio now, and welcome it as an addition to a new series of classes that are going to be starting soon. The 5th on 5th Series. Paintings, crafts, jewelry, up-cycling, and home accent classes are in the works.

If you know of anyone who would like to teach a class and needs the space, have them give me a call and we can see about getting them on the schedule. Cooking, needle-work, knitting, jewelry, soap-making, decoupage, scrap-booking, healthy living....I'm open to tons of possibilities!

I'm writing to you from this spot right here. I love my new space.  Even more, I love that is is in my home . As something I have been contemplating doing for years; I have finally created studio...

Here are some custom artworks I did for a client this past Christmas. Each is an 8x10 canvas using acrylics, with a hand-written bible verse (a life-verse for each child) that was done with acrylic ink and rice paper and attached to the canvas, then painted details around the verse, with some imagery that directly corresponds with what the verse is conveying.
The images were taken by the client after the gifts were opened, and (though they are a little lower quality), you can get the idea of the paintings. They turned out very well!
