Handpainted Wine Glasses

December 27, 2018 By Colleen Jorgenson 10 Comments

I’ve always said I’ll paint anything that’s not moving, and practically have. A few months ago an artist friend asked me if I’d paint ‘some’ goblets for a charity – Patron Arts of Folsom. The glasses were purchased at the Folsom Gourd & Arts Festival and proceeds were donated to an art scholarship fund – […]

Watercolor Baby Animals

October 29, 2018 By Colleen 5 Comments

watercolor-baby-animals

I wanted to share with you these cute little Watercolor Baby Animals today. I have a lot to learn about painting animals in watercolor, but the process is so much fun! I’m trying to remember the very first animal I painted. It must’ve been in 1999 or 2000 or thereabouts. It wasn’t the very first […]

Fall-Mantel

Welcome to our Fall Home Tour! Well, maybe not the entire home, but where we spend the most time. I had such fun decorating this year, adding some burlap and teensy wired lights to the mix. Everything is either from the dollar store or Michael’s. Rather than telling you what I did and how, I […]

Fubar’s Pet Portrait

May 23, 2018 By Colleen 2 Comments

pet-portrait

I just painted Fubar’s pet portrait. This statement makes me think two things – one, my blog is aptly named because I can’t seem to say “paint it” without putting “just” in front of it. And two, what does “Fubar” mean? The word “just” doesn’t necessarily mean ‘recently’ as in, “I ‘just painted it’, or […]

Watercolor Perfume Bottle

February 19, 2018 By Colleen 5 Comments

watercolor-perfume-bottle

I painted this Watercolor Perfume Bottle quite a while ago and never shared it. As I was editing the photos I had some questions. Are you a big time perfume person? Do you have a ‘signature’ scent or maybe a few? Or do you just buy whatever smells good at any given time? I’m none […]
