You may or may not know that I’m reproducing a lot of my paintings into wall decals. Not vinyl decals. Fabric/paper decals. That will look handpainted and will stick on nearly any surface. But before the paintings can be reproduced, the printing company need a really clear, high resolution photos. Since I’m the one who […]
Paint a Watermelon Floorcloth with Krylon Dual Spray Paint
Who doesn’t love spray paint? If there’s something easier, and quicker, to transform a project, I don’t know what it is. So I was beyond excited to try a new spray paint by Krylon. It’s paint + primer. In one can! I couldn’t wait to give this paint + primer a try. I had been […]
Brother and Sister Painting
I finished this brother/sister painting today and I was trying to figure out what to call this post other than “I’m Finished!” I thought about breaking into a riveting tutorial on how to paint folds in fabric. But I really can’t offer any tips on painting folds in fabric. I just keep painting until I’m […]
Peonies, Lavender, Fairies and a French Bulldog

“Enchanted Garden” Mural for Baby Girl Nursery
“Enchanted Garden”. That’s better than cherry blossoms-butterflies-fairies-rose mural, right? And that’s the term the mommy used – Enchanted Garden. Very soft, pale pink & taupe to match the bedding fabric along with some light blues and lavenders. I painted Sunday, yesterday and this morning, and other than a few hiccups, things went really well. I […]
Cherry Blossom Mural – in progress
When I got to the baby nursery this morning – at 8:30, I might add – they had this sample bumper in the crib. Not that I needed any inspiration. . . I love the first day of painting a mural. I’m excited, the clients are excited. It’s always fun. At the beginning. I chalked […]
