Work In Progress Part V

Done, done, done....took the piece to her last night and she was very happy.

My next commission is much darker..I'm looking forward to it. Maybe I'll post it when it's done. I don't know if anyone wants to see another WIP...LOL.

Once again, thank-you for your kind comments.

Work In Progress Part IV

Almost there.

Work In Progress Part III

I have to finish this painting today. Am I the only one who always manages to bring it right down to the wire?? Even when I think I have plenty of time...apparently...I don't.

So I guess that's my cue to get off the computer and get busy painting.

I'll post 2 more pics of this WIP and then it's on to the next commission looking up at me from my table.

Thank-you to those who have commented on the postings of my WIP.........you have been very kind.

Work In Progress Part II

Okay, so moving along. I have my background wash in and have started with a little foliage to give it depth. I like to keep it simple...can you tell??LOL


Not a lot to say at this point. The next post should have a little more oomph to it...fingers crossed!!

Work In Progress Part I

I know it's been awhile since I posted, but hey...bite me, I have kids 'n stuff.

So..here is a commission piece I am working on and as usual I'm down to the wire on this one. It's due in a couple of days...did I mention I paint sloooow? It's a fairy(duh!). I've used some photos of my clients granddaughter to resemble her a little bit.........I had to stress "this ain't no portrait".

I'm pleased with the drawing and composition and fingers crossed, the painting will go well..guess we'll have to just wait and see. Check back if you're interested, as I'll post more as I work towards the finish....Cheers!!

Valentine Keepsakes

So I decided to do these keepsake valentines...they may be a little late for this year, but I figure love is a good thing anytime.

The idea is ..... instead of putting the valentine in a drawer after the big day is over ...... this lets you keep it out and look at it all year long. Every time you see it you're reminded that someone loves ya.

You can or your valentine can, keep it on a desk, dresser or a bedside table ....... anywhere you need a little love. The keepsakes are original watercolours that I did and I found these great frames for them. I picked frames that were kind of shabby chic and a couple that were more sleek or contemporary.

I might do some for other special times of the year...I like the idea of having them out where I can see the love!! Hmmmm, gets me thinking maybe Mothers Day.

...........let me know what you think!!

Is She Good??....Or Is She Bad??

Well, seeing as I haven't posted in like.......forever, I thought I would show you my latest watercolour fairy. I hope you like her.

My son was the one who said she could be good or bad...hence the title. I'll put her up in my etsy shop this weekend............I think girls of all ages would enjoy having her in their room.

Okay, onto the next project.
