Grandchildren - 11x14 custom Painting

Here is another 11x14 custom painting that I just finished. The client asked me to include a certain view of a lake and mountains, and also the grandparents' dog in the background... what a great Mothers' Day/ Fathers' Day gift!

It was so fun to paint these 7 beautiful kids! 

Two more custom paintings - cute little girls!

These are two more of a set of 9 custom paintings that I am working on.

Kaia - 9x9 inches

McKenzie - 8x10 inches

Curvy Daffodil Fairy ACEOs

A while ago someone asked me to paint a few curvy fairies. Since I had some room in the margins of another painting, I decided to paint a little set of 4 Curvy Daffodil Fairy ACEOs.

I plan to list these on eBay some time next month...

Done! "Little Friends" 22x22 inches

I know it has been a while since I last posted... in part this is due to finishing my big gardening/landscaping project in the front yard. In part this is because I have been painting some custom pieces that I can't post online because they are gifts for people who also read my blog. In part this is because I've been working on some bigger "for fun" paintings! *Surprisingly* a 22x22 inch painting just takes longer than a 2.5x3.5 inch painting... who would have thought?! :o)

Little Friends - 22x22 inches

Custom 8x10 painting - Fort Huachuca

A friend of mine wanted to give some special military wives from the Fort Huachuca PWOC a special gift. She asked me to paint something that has to do with the beautiful landscape around the fort, as well as Ft Huachuca Bravo 4 company's rich historic heritage. Using several photos that she sent me for inspiration, I came up with the following painting:

Painting a landscape was previously uncharted ground for me, but I really enjoyed painting this piece! My friend purchased the original, and I made prints for her to give the ladies, as well. If you happen to be interested in a print, just let me know!

"Boy"-themed Africa map

I just finished an "I love Ethiopia" Africa map painting in boy colors.

I have prints of this painting available in my Etsy shop now.

Custom 5x7 painting for Mother's Day

Sorry that I haven't been posting more often... I have been busy painting some larger pieces... to be revealed at some point soon. Custom orders have also kept me very busy. 

This little 5x7 painting is a Mother's Day gift for "Grandma" (in the middle), who lives far enough away that she only gets to see her grand-kids once or so per year - my client sent me individual pictures of her kids and her mother, and asked me to paint them together. 

Custom 8x10 fashion portrait painting

I just finished this fun fashion portrait painting for Treasure!

Custom 8x10 fashion portrait

This was such a fun project! I especially enjoyed painting her beautiful full curls.

Two 8x10 custom paintings

Happy Easter everyone! My family was on a little vacation over Spring break - so posting and painting has been a little slow. I did finish 2 more of my custom paintings. Aren't these siblings cute?! Enjoy!

Don't you love his blue, blue eyes?

She is such a beautiful little girl. Painting her hair was also very fun!

Stay tuned for more paintings the next few days!

Custom 9x9 portrait

A wonderful Momma recently asked me to paint her son, daughters, nieces and nephews for her as a series of 8x10 and 9x9 paintings. I just finished one of them, and am almost done with 2 others. Here is a little sneak peek:

Doesn't she look like a sweet little elf?
