My little Picasso


Yup, my little Sloan did this drawing. I think even Picasso would be impressed. I am always amazed at how raw and beautiful art done by a child can be. I am trying to update my blog a bit. Please be patient with me. So over the next few days I will be adding and taking things away. Feel free to comment on things. I am always willing to listen to constructive criticism.

Queen of the Lovebirds

Here it is, frame and all. You can see the gold leafing a little better here.

This is the up close shot of the painting. The only bummer is the gold leafing looks super dull when I scan my work.

Time to start another painting. I will prep for my next piece tonight. Look for some pictures of the girls, I plan on taking some photos of them tonight.

A diffrent take on an old favorite

I know, I know, only certain people will find this amusing. I guess I am one of those few. This is by one of the artists I have on my links, Adrian Johnson. He is a super talented illustrator. I love that his art has such a vintage feel to it. Advertising art from the 20's -60's is some of my favorite.

Mommies little helper

Tonight I was able to talk with my friend Michelle Young. She used to live here in Reno and now lives in Washington State with her beautiful family. Today she e-mailed her new blog address to all her friends. She has started a business creating fashionable accessories for mothers. All of her items are extremely useful and made out of lovely vibrant fabrics. Keep her in mind for a unique hand made baby shower gift.

A little color added


I got a pretty good start on this last night considering Dean and I watched a movie that we had to turn in this morning. I am hoping to have it finished up by tonight. I'm kind of on a roll and I don't want to loose my motivation. So I will probably paint a few more things and then hopefully start some sewing this weekend. Look for the finished picture late this evening.
