Sock Monkey

Raise your hand if you had, and loved a sock monkey! I did! My grandmother made each of her grandchildren one and I loved mine until it fell apart. I've wanted to paint this for a very long time and finally did it. The original sold immediately after I posted it so I guess I'm not the only one with a soft spot for the monkey. This is available as a 5"x7" giclee print on canvas. Click here to order from my etsy store

Green Beans and Blue Jar

I was commissioned to do this painting that would be given to a person who loved canning vegetables. Because I paint from life and because it's winter here, I had trouble finding some of the things I was told this lady enjoyed canning. I finally found some beautiful string beans and though this wasn't my first choice, I think it turned out nicely. This can be purchased as a giclee or fine art paper print. Send me an email for prices and information.

Paying job

Today I painted in someones home. I enjoy these jobs because they are fun and don't require too much thought. The designs are basic and easy for someone who has been drawing and painting for a long time but always seem to awe and impress the client. I enjoy making the client happy. I always think that they could do it too if they just tried but I guess that's not always true. Anyway, I'll add the picture of what I did today. It's a baby's room with an animal print theme. I will go back on friday to paint a powder room that might prove to be a little more tricky.
