This week my blogger friends and I were invited by Floracraft to decorate Styrofoam wreaths. Each of us our sharing our tutorials on Google+ Hangouts on Air (HoA). Here’s the full schedule. Being an ex-florist, I knew I wanted to do something with flowers. I rarely get to do much floral design and I really […]
Daisy Painting Tutorial
I could’ve sworn I’d already done a daisy painting tutorial before this. Daisies are one of my favorite flowers. They’re so bright and cheery. I mean, I love all flowers, but there’s something about daisies. My main goal with writing a series about Painting Simple Flowers was to show easy ways to paint a type […]
Paint a Pretty Teacup
Before we get started with this painting tutorial I want to say how completely touched I was by your comments on my last post, Time For a Change. I’m always amazed at how sweet and supportive Just Paint It readers are. Thank you so, so much. Okay, let’s paint a pretty little teacup. I don’t […]

Somehow, I don’t think “How to paint a Time-Consuming, Challenging Teacup” would be to appealing. […]

The fact that I’m also in the midst of the series, How To Paint Simple Spring Flowers, and flowers go so nicely with Mother’s Day is just a happy little coincidence. Hey, I’ll take any reason for a happy coincidence. Last week […]
FREE Cowboy Party Printables!
A couple of weeks ago I started doodling and sketching some cowboy images for a denim valance I got a few years back. What’s so much fun about working online is all of the creative opportunities there are. It feels like I learn something new every day! When I was sketching & doodling I showed […]
An Uncommon Zebra
Some of you know how I got started painting, some of you don’t. In a nutshell, I sketched & painted as a kid, took one Art class in college and then quit painting for 20 years. My teacher didn’t like how my paintings looked real. It’s possible that I might’ve been a touch over-sensitive. Just. […]
