Busy Summer!

How did it go from April to August already? Time really does go faster the older you get! We had a fantastic summer filled with HOT days at the park and pool, a trip to the Quad Cities to visit friends from Springfield, a trip to Chicago, an adults trip to Kansas City and we just got back from a week spent in Omaha. I managed to keep busy with my painting, so I'll catch you all up!

Alison's Flower

This is a 24" x 30" canvas I painted for a friend, Alison, to give to her mom for Mother's Day. Her mom loved the gift!

Bree's Bloom

This is a 36" x 36" canvas I painted for our friends, Bree and Kevin. They've been doing some re-decorating in their home and wanted a new painting for their living room. I loved the background of this painting. Simple and modern.

 

Macy

I LOVED painting this 24" x 24" canvas for our friends, Trevor and Wendy. This is their adorable dog, Macy. It was fun to see Macy come to life and I got a kick out of it when Kolar saw it and giggled like crazy.

Ikat

I painted this one night when Sam was gone. I had used a new texturing medium, which makes the canvas feel rough to the touch and adds some dimension. I love the way it turned out...now I just need to find the perfect spot!

Bathroom Blooms

Okay, maybe not the most appealing name, but I did paint this for our guest bathroom, which is navy and yellow.
This adds the perfect pop of color!

 

Jackson's Jungle

Michaela, a friend from college, contacted me about painting a mural for her son's nursery. I had a lot of fun painting this one and hope that Jackson loves it as much as I do!
