The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Christmas is, indeed, the most wonderful time of the year. It's also the busiest! I finally finished my last few projects and here they are!

Kristi is a wild child with a penchant for anything girly and involving fashion. Her latest thing is zebra stripes and she always loves bold colors. So, I did my best to please!

Patricia is mother to Landen, and both are sweet as can be! Their room is done in browns and blues, hence the dots. She's expecting a girl any day now, so there will be another one added beneath Landen. He's known as the monkey, so his picture should fit.

Olivia introduced me to the Twilight series, before it became TWILIGHT. Her picture is done in black with her name in the Twilight font and covered with opalescent glitter, so she, like her love Edward, will sparkle!

A Few Kind Words

Romona asked me to do this one for her Dad. Whenever he's asked what he wants for a gift, he replys, "A few kind words." She and her family picked several words to describe him and I added them to the word Dad. It's painted to match the decor in the living room and complement her mom's new sofa. I hope he enjoys it!

Boys, Boys, Boys

Angie liked the plaques I did for her nieces so well, she asked me to do two for her boys. Zeke is all about sports and Tristan is a computer guru. Their bedroom is done in tan, green, maroon, and navy, so I kept the color theme to blend and not just jump everywhere!

Well, can't get Tristan's pix to flip, but here it is!

Christmas Again!

Angie, another co-worker, commissioned me to do paintings for her nieces. One loves hot pink and purple and is a girly-girl. I was able to do a flowing script complete with bubbles in a variety of shades. The other is a serious Hamburg Lion, hence the bright purple. She's moving and her new room will be painted this limey-green apple and her new bedding is zebra stripes. I think it'll be a perfect fit!

Keeping It In Perspective

This summer, our church hosted a former Pastor as our revival preacher. During his message, he mentioned a quote he often heard his father say. It states, "When it's over your head, it's still under His feet." What a way to put things in perspective! I don't often do scenes, but I loved the thought of a pastoral church and did my best. One of these days, I'll actually it to him!

Luck of the Irish!

Kim, a co-worker of mine, commissioned a name plaque for her classroom. She was born on St. Patrick's day and has always been fond of the shamrock. She left the design up to me and I struggled with how to make it like she wanted, but to not look like left-over St. Patty's decorations. I was happy with how it turned out, and so was she!

Go Hogs!

Bye, Beth! We have a co-worker leaving to join her husband in Northern Arkansas. Her third grade team planned a send-off party yesterday and Robin commissioned a special painting for Beth. She's off to reunite her family and start out fresh. Since she's moving to "hog" country, we decided to do something in red and white - classy and fresh. We just used her last name so she could display it at her home or outside her classroom if she decides to teach this fall. It's a go-anywhere design! She's been a great addition to our staff and we'll miss her. Good luck, Beth!
