Lion{and}Lamb






Hey! How's everyone? The weather is so much nicer here, less hot and humid! But I am still ready for fall weather!
Today's painting is another mural I did at my church this past week. It is in the nursury and is much more visible, so hopefully I will get some more people asking for murals for their kids room or whatever room they want it in! I started this mural on Monday and finished sealing it on Friday, so it didn't take me too long! This one would be worth roughly $600. There are three ladybugs and an inch worm hidden in their somewhere! I hope you like it!

Flying High {part 2}


I was busy yesterday painting this one in my brothers room, same one with the biplane from my last post! It took me a few hours to complete, and is worth about $60. The plane is a Spitfire, but I made it dark blue because that is my little brother's favorite colour! Airplanes are alot harder to draw then they look! I am also going to be doing another mural at my church in a couple weeks! So I am excited for that! I hope you like this second airplane!

Flying High


Hey there!
Today's painting is another mural I have done in my house! This one is in my little brothers room. I got the idea from a book I have on children's murals. To get the wings really straight and even I put painter's tape up there and painted between them! A LOT easier to do that way! The clouds were fun to do as well! I have a big sea sponge that works really well for clouds and trees! And texture on rocks and stuff! Hope you like it!

Pen{and}Ink


Hello! How is everyone this fine day?
Today's art is some Pen and Ink and watercolours. I sketch in the rough outline, then I use just a generic Sharpie pen to make all the little lines and dots, to give the illusion of fur. After I am done with the pen I put a watercolour wash over it. This is one of my favorite ways to draw! It always turns out looking really cool! These dogs were done for a woman at my church, they were about $30 each. I hope you like them!

Lavender Dew


Hey there! How are you today?

As promised here is a picture I took of the light purple rose bush I got. Isn't it Prettyful?!? I love it. It doesn't have anymore buds right now, so hopefully it will get more!

This is our other rose bush. It has a ton of blooms this year! It's very pretty and smells divine! Some of the blooms are white and some are more pink and cream. They are very pretty and I have a couple in my room right now, which makes my room smell really good! I hope you like the pictures! I wish I could do a scratch and sniff blog so you could smell them! Have a wonderful day!

PS Pray for my best friend Joanna, she is in Papua New Guinie for 6 weeks on a mission trip!
