Desert Life

I call this painting "Desert Life"
My interpretation of this painting is...
I was going for a desert look. This painting took a little longer then I usually take.


I thought the flower was going to be the easiest part, but I was mistaken.
I draw doodles of flowers all the time, but painting them is very different.

I love the different kinds of beige and making them blend.
I used the darker blue and the white paint to give the flower some depth.

Until next time,

be inspired, be full of grace, be unique!

Caleb's Eye

I call this painting "Caleb's Eye"

My interpretation of this painting is...
exactly the same one as the first Caleb's Eye.

I have a dog named Caleb and it's so weird, but his eye really does look like the eye in the painting.

I have another one just like this but it's pink and egg shell colors.

I'm going to make another one but it's going to be purple and brown.

I like the idea of making Caleb's Eye a set.

Again the same thing I  used the last time,

I used a fan brush.

So, basically the only thing different is the color. lol

Until next time,

be inspired, be full of grace, be unique!

The Walk of Love

I call this painting  " The Walk of Love"

My interpretation of this painting is...

The feet and the heart is a symbol of traveling in life

while learning to love and learning how to be loved.

As for the spots, they're just interesting.



I used my feet and my hands to do this painting.

All of the silver is my feet and the red and purple are my hands.

The spots were so much fun to do.

I took the bottle of blue paint and started throwing it every where. lol 

Well...

Until next time,

be inspired, be full of grace, be unique!

Reach for the Jars

I call this painting "Reach for the Jars"
This is the most detailed painting I've ever done.
My interpretation of this painting is...
I saw the movie Princess And The Frog;
you know when Momma Odie starts singing and the sun is shining through the tree limbs, and there are millions of bottles hanging in the tree...
I could just see myself painting those bottles, with all the vines raping around everything.
I loved it!!


I used acrylic paint, but after I finished a bottle I dipped my brush in water and smudged the paint just a little bit!
It's amazing the way water brought a "old timey" look to the paint.

So...
Until next time,
be inspired, be full of grace, be unique!

Caleb's Eye

I call this painting "Caleb's Eye"

This one was hard to name because if you turn it just right it looks like a piece of fruit.

My interpretation of this painting is....

I have a dog named Caleb and it's so weird, but his eye really does look like the eye in the painting.

I used a fan brush.

I picked the colors because when I first started, I was thinking about a pink, strawberry, swirly, candy thing 

and it turned out so much better...but still sweet looking! lol 

This is probably my favorite painting that I've painted.

It's my baby!

Hope you like it!!

Until next time,

be inspired, be full of grace, be unique!

Doing A One Eighty

I call this painting "Doing A One Eighty"
This is absolutely abstract.
My interpretion of this painting is...
The oneighty completely turning around;
like when your life turns completely around to a life more wonderful then you could have ever imagined,
just by realizing how much God loves you!!!
I love this painting so much.
I gave it to my youth leader for his birthday, it was so fun!


My main idea was to make it hard to see exactly what it is and I think I accomplished that!
At first I was having a hard time knowing what to paint, but then I relaxed, picked out my favorite colors and just went with it!!!
I especially love the silver outlining the numbers, don't you?
And about the frame...I got it at "Hobby Lobby!"
btw
 they have great frames and prices.
So.....
Until next time,
be inspired, be full of grace, be unique!

April Showers

Hey Everybody! What's up?

I started this blog to showcase my passion for painting.

I'll be telling you a little bit about each painting,

what I used, what I like about it, what it means to me, etc. etc.

Hope you enjoy!

Here I go!

I call this picture "April Showers"

Some of my paintings are a little abstract but in this one, it's pretty clear that it's a lily.

Something that is less clear is the sunny colors shining though the grass!

The way I interpret this painting is,

It's a lily in a luscious green meadow, just blooming after a light mist of rain!

I mostly used the paint brushes(in the picture) for decoration,

 but the smaller ones I actually did use on this project.

I love painting with pastel colors!

 They have a way of making a painting feel so light and airy!

As for the canvas...well...there's the wood, and the canvas stretched over the wood...

...what can I say, a canvas is a canvas!

Until next time,

Be inspired, be full of grace, be unique!
