Pottery in Progress...

Sorry for the lag in postings. I have finally caught up with all the paintings I have done over the past few years! My postings will likely begin to slow down due to the fact that I have paintings in progress. I have a bunch of pottery to paint for Christmas this year, so be on the look out for their postings! It won't be anytime soon for those, though. If I post them now they won't be a surprise for those who are receiving them ;)

A change in topic...I had the privilege of going to the United Tour to see Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith this past Saturday! What a blessing it was! Thank you to the two lady's I am so honored to work with ;) They not only bought my ticket, and took me out to a seafood dinner, but they joined me in worshipping our God! What a blessing to work with Christian women :D

"An apple a day keeps the doctors away!"

This plate is plain and simple! What do you think of the worm? It would make a great teacher's gift :D

An oldie, but goodie :)


Can you tell what it's supposed to be? I did this for the studio a long long long time ago!

Rimmed bowl, Step 2 - Painting!


This bowl is a slow process. I'm painting it as a sample for Pottery Works, so I only get to paint on my down time ;) Here's step 2 - the painting!

A canvas and a drawing :)

Just a drawing I did many years ago. I have it framed and hanging in my bedroom :) I love to draw/paint flowers.
I actually got this idea from my living room rug! I thought it would be cool to mimic the rug up on the wall. It didn't turn out exactly like the rug, but pretty close. Same idea anyway ;)

Acrylic painting is fun, but don't get it on your clothes. I know from experience ;)

This is a palm tree painting I did as a Christmas gift. I copied the image, down to the border, from a bathroom rug. Hehe...me and my copying :P
Well, this was my second large canvas painting. It seems the larger the frame the more nervous I get. My original idea was just to paint the blue, green, and white flowers, but I didn't get them quite centered. So, plan B...paint more flowers! I decided to add a punch of color. What do you think? I'm still not sure what I think about it. I kind of like it, but feel like it's just a jumbled mess of mixed matched items. I'm glad my Mom and her husband like it, though ;) Love ya guys :D

More canvas!

I painted this to match my bedspread :D
This was my first large canvas painting! Boy was I nervous! I have this hanging in my hallway :D
