Tree Bird

Tissue paper on the bottom.

Tree Bird. Antique window/collage/acrylic/paint pen/paper birds (SOLD)

New Art!!!

Happy Poppies. Acrylic on double paned antique window ($300)

This is taken outside in the bright sun so the yellow is not that bright! The camera does no justice to this one. I love it. The detail rocks.

Musical Poppy. Acrylic/collage with vintage music on window (SOLD)

I Heart You. Collage with water colored vintage magazines/acrylic on window. (SOLD)

The framing on this is a little more worn, but it can also be painted over.

Etude Pear. Small window with collage of vintage music/acrylic (SOLD)

An Art Event!

http://thingswithwingsartjournal.blogspot.com

This blog and the artists are awesome. Here is their website and their email. SHOP LOCAL! (Iowa City!)

paperprayers@hotmail.com

They are having their spring open house and since I can't go (boo) I'm passing on their invite to you! April 24th, desserts, art and free giveaways! Email them for more info and directions.

Garner Art

All three together. Truck, guitar and bottle caps.


Close up of the bottle caps.

Here they are (ta-da!)
Commissioned for their house and to be delivered today! Woo hoo!

They wanted a retro feel and I got lots of details into their lives to add to the paintings. I think they turned out pretty sweet, I hope they like them!

Hello Cupcake and Landscape

Hello, Cupcake! Smaller window (1.5 x 1.5) acrylic/fabric/collage ($100)

The camera does no justice to the cool colors in this. The bottom is a funky lime green and the top is candy pink. Mmmmm cupcakes. The actual cupcake parts are watercolor magazine...actually from 1908...pretty cool.

This window is very long. I haven't measured it yet but I'd venture a guess....maybe 3 feet long? I haven't named it yet...so we'll call it Iowa landscape, plain acrylic on glass (SOLD)

I like the clouds the best. Here is a detail shot of the clouds and sky.

Most of these will be on display (unless I sell them miraculously beforehand at Chalk the Walk)

Leaf Me Alone. Collage/Acrylic/Antique window 2x3'

One side says Knee Deep the other says In Daisies (it's from an old song called Knee Deep in Daisies and head over heels in love) The music is from the sheet music to that song.

I love the colors she uses in her paintings and the whimsical creatures. I think I might have to do an owl piece someday.

Big collage fan. Her stuff rocks. So does her music choice.
