Small is the new Big.

Sexy Apple. Acrylic on heavy art paper. ($25) unframed ($35 ) framed

Deeply Rooted. Unframed ($25) Framed ($35) Acrylic/Collage

Here are all four that I finished today!

Owl Tree. Unframed ($25) Framed ($35) Collage/Acrylic on heavy art paper.

A Thing for Pears. ($35) Framed.

So I was thinking....why so big? I've been investing so much time and energy into these huge windows that are beautiful but big and sometimes awkward (kind of like my hiney) So I've gone mini. Invested in some canvases, frames and heavy acrylic art paper with hopes and dreams of finishing a few smaller works before the art show. Let me know how you like them!

Whoooooooooo do you love?

I was feeling in a fall mood today. I actually got the idea for this one after reading a vintage children's book to Baylor. Those are owl's (just in case you were having troubles identifying!) For some strange reason, this window frame is a lot heavier than the rest....hmmmmm ($150)

Frank

Meet Frank. He's an African Grey. I was commissioned to do this piece for an old high school friend who currently lives in New York. Can't say that I've ever done a pet portrait before, and it was quite challenging. I'm not a big fan of reality (who isn't?) and I tried to make Frank look as true to himself as possible. It's on canvas too, so that was another challenge. Frank's owner seems to like it, so off it will go in the mail on Tuesday. Wish him luck...I have also never mailed art before.

Apples to Apples

Welcoming fall! Apples to Apples ($200) Acrylic/paint pen/window

...and now for more pressing matters. What color shall I paint this bad boy? It has a white tin top with a black stripe around it. I'm going to use it as a kid's art table. Ideas?

My little find

I have a neighbor who lives across the street in this enormous Victorian house. I've never been inside, but I know that she has some incredible treasures waiting inside. Occasionally she sets out some treasures on the curb and lets people go hog wild. Since I'm close, I watch and wait and then make my move. I scored this little side table and another antique table with a white tin top. I sanded, sealed and added a new knob and I'm in love. I love the old patina look, you can't replicate that if you tried. Although I have no where for this little jewel in my house, I will keep it until I find a space. I can't decide on a color for the knee high tin table though....I was thinking that vintage teal. You know, the color of those old vintage refrigerators? Love it. So if you have anything like this hiding in your garage, send them my way!
