Gifting!

Instead of shopping in busy malls or waiting in long lines to purchase a gift. Why not create a ONE!


Saw Blade had been previously painted by another artist, however, the pasture was missing something.
So my friend wanted me to add the horses to give more interest to the foreground.


I used painters glue and iridescent paint to create more interest and texture.

Added a personalized touch!

Abstract "Mindless Spiral"

After my last painting,"Autumn Bliss", I needed to change things up! I wanted to clear my thoughts of the previous painting and take on a project that I call mindless, with very little thought or prep. In this painting, I began with flowers which quickly turned into spirals because I did not like the shape of the blooms. So I swirled the colors around and liked what was happening to the painting. Painting was done in oils.


After I swirled the colors together I was not sure where to go next with this painting. I just kept adding deeper reds, oranges, and continued playing with different colors.

Finished! What I love about this painting is that it can be placed on the wall in any direction!
