Tree Limb, Flowers and Butterflies Panel Mural

Each panel is 16″ x 20″ – separation is about 2″ in between each. Does this remind you of spring?  I painted this pretty wall painting in acrylics on canvas for my granddaughters room.  It’s a mural they can take with them if they move to another place. She loves butterflies, flowers and birds. The

Mangrove Morning

Here in South Florida we have very unique trees that grow along the rivers and beaches.  This particular one is called Mangrove.  I love all the knots and tangleness of the roots.  They are mostly found in the Everglades.  They release a pod-like seed that floats along in the water until it finds so

First Step Into the Unknown – Rule Of Thirds

I painted this picture of my granddaughter’s first step into an unknown world,… the ocean! It was a beautiful sunny day, the ocean was very calm and the tide was low:  A perfect scenario for a little toddler’s first beach experience.

Assaulted with all the turmoil and unrest broadcasted in the news lately, I escaped into a quiet place while painting this peaceful scene of a little boy ( I picture my son when he was little.) and my dog, Sammy.  I used a photograph that I took a couple years ago of a place along [...]

Turning A Stained Shirt Into An Artsy One!

I don’t know about you, but every time I buy a new white blouse, it doesn’t last very long.  It always gets a stain on it.  So, I decided to try something out.  I had a bag of fabric paint in my artsy closet and a couple of pictures of flowers from my back yard.  I thought… let [...]

Key West – A step into history!

We had a wonderful time in Key West at the Living history event at Fort Zachary Taylor, named after the U.S. President in 1850.  The fort was occupied by the Federal forces during the Civil War and was used mainly to block any Confederate ships from coming through with supplies for the army.
