I was thrilled to guest post for Beverly @ Green Gracie Home last week with this project! It was my first time guest posting, and Bev made it fun & painless! Go check out her fabulous silver-leafed dresser today – and tell her I sent you! Now with summer in full swing, consider painting a […]
How To Paint – Artichoke
Yes, you can paint this. The artichoke takes just 4 colors of green, with no painting experience required. I put it on a neutral background, but you could paint any colors that would coordinate with your kitchen or dining room. I started with a piece of canvas. You could also paint it on watercolor paper.

A Trip Down Memory Lane
I had an unbelievably blessed and special childhood. Yesterday, a simple day trip to my mother’s mountain cabin reminded me of this. This is Echo Lake. It’s located 2 miles off Highway 50 atop Echo Summit, just before you head down into Lake Tahoe. Isn’t it spectacular? The pictures don’t even do it justice. It’s […]

Patriotic Tea Light Lampshade

Doggie Portrait – Mixed Poodle

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’ […]
Decorative Serving Tray – Stars & Stripes
Paint a decorative serving tray with a removable canvas inset, then you can use the tray for different holidays!
Line Art – Giraffes
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 […]
