Chimera: Hippocampus

Also known as a sea- horse this mythical creature was stuck in my imagination. There may be more Chimeras to come. But for now, please enjoy this colorful explosion of non-science.

rework x2

In my endeavors to create new and interesting painting in the jump for joy series I will admit to using photos of friends and family. The first try of these two images failed. (Please don't look through the blog history to find them.)
To honor my friends and family I have reworked the images. This second attempt created something much better. I am happy to present to you "Best Friends" and "Joy Lorena".

More Joy

In getting ready for some craft shows coming up this fall, I decided the world needed more joy. This is my favorite image to use. She is a lot of fun to paint. Paintings sold separately, jumping not required.

productive weekend

June turned into July and wow did i have a great weekend. No my house is not perfectly clean- that was the weekend before, sorry you missed it. No my to do list is not complete - that's next weekend. This time I took time out, let my right brain float around while my left brain took control.

Sleepy - 5X7 this little polar bear is just the right blend of color and white. He is waiting for you on Etsy $15

Never grow up - 11x14 is a fun exploration of action and shapes. (Yes that is my Daddy with his tongue out.) A girl who spins just to see her dress fly out. Whimsy is the key to this painting. $20

Koi Series

The only thing that sold on Etsy so far was the easiest thing I do. I've been drawing/ painting koi fish since I became obsessed with them in 2008. For these reasons I decided to paint a koi fish series. Hey, maybe the buyers will come fishing. Either way they are fun to paint. I hope you enjoy looking at them.

Father's Day 2017

You may have wondered what I've been up to for the last month. I took some time off from painting to create a life size sculpture of a man out of cardboard. Yup... cardboard. This sculpture was to honor my father, my Daddy. It was covered with tools and story clips.

*i planned to make a video of it and present it here on the blog... but there was a massive structural failure and the sculpture is no more.*

It was a wonderful month of work, smiles, memories, and creative vibe. Please contact me for story clips or more pictures that my Mom took. This work of art was very well received. I thank God for art as a way to express my heart.

Rhino Migration

These adorable Rhinos will be migrating to California. In March I was contacted by Global Conservation Force, via Etsy, who requested the painting as a donation for their June auction.  I think it fitting to send the African animals that I painted while with my African nephew to do some greater good.
