Thyme in Acrylic

I continued on my theme of herbs for my next two paintings. I'm not sure if I will keep it up or not, now. I thought I would make it into a whole series, but now I'm not so sure. Sometimes I get bored with the same thing over and over. Who knows, I may… Continue reading Thyme in Acrylic

This post will be about this piece: Also, have a look here and see the listing on Etsy! When you work with these kinds of paints, they are very flowy. The intent… Continue reading Basil in Pebeo Paints

Pizza paintings!

I had so much fun making these! I've only made three, but I would like to make more. I can't even decide which one I like the best. They are all pretty much the same, except with different background colors. I made these on my teeny, tiny canvas's. I painted the backs and sides black.… Continue reading Pizza paintings!

It was one of the first ones that I tried using a new technique with these Pebeo Fantasy Paints. I created it on a very tiny canvas. The surface… Continue reading Pretty little coffee picture.

We got him when he was a baby, and much younger than we… Continue reading Why dogs are like toddlers, and unfinished artwork.

Sweet art!

Work in progress

My goal for this year is to really try and get my Etsy shop going. (You can visit it here.) I feel like I've done so much already, yet I've barely even scratched the surface of things to do. I feel a bit overwhelmed, but in a good way since this is something I really… Continue reading Work in progress

Thick paint/pallet knife painting

This is not a technique that I have tried myself, but I absolutely ADORE how it looks. In fact, I have a board on Pinterest that has a ton of this style of painting on it right here.     I've also been looking at a painting blog, and I love her stuff. It's got flowers… Continue reading Thick paint/pallet knife painting

Little bird paintings

I made these three paintings, not intending them to be a series but they all kind of work together and almost represent different seasons. I actually made the little birds out of Sculpy clay and didn't know what I was going to use them for. I had a glimmer of an idea to use them… Continue reading Little bird paintings

Pebeo Fantasy Moon, Pebeo Prism and Pebeo Vitrail to be exact. The black is also Pebeo. It's their liquid leading. It also comes in silver, white, and glitter. I… Continue reading Drawing with paint
