Eat Pray Love – LOVE!!!

Eat Pray Love Painting

Finished! This is the last in the series, Eat Pray Love. This is one of those projects – ‘seemed like a good idea at the time’ . . . But they’re done. And I will put them in my Zazzle shop on some goodies – maybe t-shirts, I’m not sure yet. Eat will definitely go […]

Shared Brother/Sister Room Murals

Shared Brother Sister Room Mural

I had the wonderful privilege of painting murals in a little boy’s and soon-to-be-born-baby girl’s room yesterday. It’s hard enough to decorate a room for a boy and a girl, but coming up with mural ideas? That would’ve been quite a challenge for me, but luckily Mommy already had ideas of what she wanted. When […]

“Eat Pray Love” – EAT Painting

August 16, 2010 By Colleen Jorgenson 8 Comments

Eat Pray Love Painting

Daily Inspiration Line up your energy before taking action. Imagine, envision, dream, see the best possible outcome in your mind first. Use all your senses to feel how you want to feel. Then, when you’re ready to take action, you’ll come from a place of inspiration, not motivation. This September I’m starting a paint meme […]

Reverse Stencil & Strie . . . sort of

Strie Painting

I’ve been working on a few ideas for our cousin who goes to a lot of Wine & Jazz festivals in his RV. He asked me about painting a wall hanging that could hang on his RV, as well as in his home when they’re not on the road. Seemed simple enough. (Emphasis on seemed.) […]

My Lettering Projects

Storybook Castle Wall Hanging

In my previous post, Lovely Lettering Projects, I realized I keep lettering the same way over and over again. ~Isn’t there a saying about Insanity and repeating things the same way? Don’t answer that. ~ Anyway, I’ve always used graphite paper to transfer letters, then just fill in with paint. This was a little off […]

Doggie Portrait – Mixed Poodle

Mixed Poodle Puppy Painting

Meet “Butters Worthington Scotch”! Also known as ‘Butters’, for short. This little bundle of fluff is my niece’s puppy. Isn’t he a doll? I promised my niece last year I’d do a portrait for her, especially after I painted a portrait of my nephew’s bulldog. I went to her facebook page and looked at Butters’ […]

Line Art – Giraffes

June 8, 2010 By Colleen Jorgenson 6 Comments

Giraffe Pattern

I found this line art when I was going thru some of my clients’ files. You could use them as patterns for decoupage, stencils, or just coloring pages for your little one! Whether I draw or paint giraffes, their eyes always turn out a little dreamy. I have no idea why. I love this Momma […]
