Lola Watercolor

Painted me a pretty pooch! I was doing my Watercolor Workout class for the Marysville Art League and couldn't decide which of my pets to paint and I remembered that my bro-in-law's sister has the most beautiful brindle dog that I always thought would be really fun to paint. So, I painted her instead! I love how it turned out and it makes me want to paint more pets :)

Amandolin Kitchen Logo

I created this lovely logo for a lovely woman who makes lovely cookies! I hand painted the mandolin with black acrylic paint then scanned it into photoshop for cleaning and coloring. I then finished the logo in Freehand and voila! A handpainted logo - that is music to my ears.

Veggie Bags

For Christmas this year I did a series of vegetable paintings on white denim and then turned them into bags and filled them with goodies to give to friends and family. Here are the paintings - I painted with acrylic then heat set them with an iron so they would go through washings when needed. Doing this project, I've realized I really, really enjoy painting vegetables a lot and probably need to do more veggie projects in the future.

Watercolor Workouts

I've been teaching some watercolor classes at the Marysville Art League this summer. Here are a few of my paintings from "Watercolor Workouts":

Art Hanging in Gallery 264 at the Houston House

Not sure why I haven't uploaded anything on here lately. I think I got busy with a lot of things and just got out of the habit of updating my art blog. But, it's never too late to get caught up! Here are some pics of my salvaged cupboard door art being displyed in Gallery 264 at the Houston House in Marysville, Ohio. They are both woodburned and painted with acrylic.

The Marysville Art League has been doing some amazing things in our community lately - they offer lots of classes and put on art events and if you are interested, you can visit their website to see classes I am going to be teaching there as well.
