99 Red Balloons

Hey there!
Today's is a photo since I couldn't decide on a painting! This is a photo of some balloons in our Living Room. I was just sitting in there and saw how the sun was going through the balloons and making the pretty colours on the ceiling. So I had to run down to my room and get some photos! It's a cool effect! hard to corral them all and make then be still though! I can't decide on what painting to do next. I have a few ideas but can't decide on one. Maybe I will post the ones I am thinking of on here and you can all decide for me! leave a comment if you like that idea! Have a nice day!

This painting is another Oil on Canvas, it is on the same wall as the owl from last time. I did this painting a couple years ago. I love painting wolves! they are so fuzzy! Snow is fun too!
I finally got around to taking some photos of my new paintings. So I will try to get them on here soon! Don't hold your breath though!
Have a wonderful day!

Great Grey Owl

Hey! long time no update again. I have a cold at the moment, along with most of my family. So that's not much fun.
This painting is in our kitchen. It's another Oil on canvas. Obviously it is an owl, and I had fun doing it.
Man I have no idea what else to write! I hope you enjoy this painting!

Eat your Fruits and Veggies

Hey there!

Today's art piece is a mural I did at the University. It took me about a week and a half to do and is done in acrylic paint. I got $1000 for it. I had to paint it while on a scaffolding cause as you can see on the second picture it was fairly high up! The mural is at the Marketplace in the Student center, above the salad bar. I hope I never have to paint another pepper again! They want me to paint the whole room in there but the manager is still looking for permission from the board. Hopefully I will be able to go back and paint for them some more! I had a blast doing it and all the people who work there were very nice!I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Hey there! Hows everybody today! the weather today is very nice. Bright and sunny.
Today's painting is another Oil on canvas, the picture is the Phantom Stallion book cover, they are a book series by Terri farley. If you want to check her out her website is www.terrifarley.com She is a wonderful author and I have most of her books, except for a couple of the phantom stallion ones. I've read that series like three times, the first series is 24 books, and the second is 11 books! They are really good! Anyway, I hope I'm not breaching any laws putting this picture up! This painting is hanging in my room above my chair. I really like it. Thats all for today! Have a good one!

It's really rainy today so I have been sitting around all day pretty much. We went to church this morning, and our Senior Pastor is engaged! Yay! haha ok I'll stop gushing now!
