Saying goodbye

I painted a 6-panel painting in college. I took my two favorite panels and decided to doodle over them. I LOVE the result:

As is my M.O., when I make something, I keep it for awhile and then decide it needs to find a new home. I don't hold onto things forever. I may have hoarding tendencies but I definitely feel the need to purge every now and then.

Sometimes things go to the trash, sometimes they get re-purposed (like these), and sometimes, very seldom, they are passed on to someone else. It's a seldom occurrence- not because I'm stingy but because I don't always assume that someone could find a place on their walls for a 4' x 6' manifestation of the inner workings of my mind.

This one goes to a friend who happens to love the inner workings of my mind.

God is great

I painted a few of these for some ladies at work.

It was a great idea! It looks good in her kitchen, as she was nice enough to send me a picture after I forgot to take one myself.

Sweet Girl

Almost 3 years ago, I painted these for a sweet little baby girl. Pretty soon I'll be doing some more for her baby sister. I can't wait to meet her!!

Christmas canvasses

These are 8x10 canvasses wrapped in fabric and painted.

I sewed buttons on these. I think they turned out pretty cute!

I've always been curious about hand beading. Ladies and gentlemen, I am curious no more. I now know that it's cathartic, takes forever, and turns out really well for this project. After I finish my other beaded canvas, I'm not sure how often I'll do it but it was worth the experience. Plus, before I added the beads, this canvas looked like some sort of joyful Communist symbol.
