I love painting anything – absolutely anything. But there’s nothing sweeter than painting something for a new baby. Last week I got 3 new commissions – all of them Disney based, so I was prepared to spend the weekend on them. However, we were invited to a baby shower on Saturday. I knew I’d eventually […]
Wine Cellar Mural
Well, it’s not really a cellar, but wine ‘closet’ just didn’t sound as appealing. First, let me just say how much I love these clients. I met them years ago when I was a floral designer in a craft store and she was planning her daughter’s wedding. I wound up doing all the flowers for […]
His & Hers Bedroom Mural
I’ve said before the cool thing about painting commissioned murals is the fact that I can make them personal for my clients. It’s like going to the hairdresser – they take an hour to do your hair, but you’re the one who has to live with it! Same with painting. I don’t always agree with […]
ModPodge + Paint = Art
We’re getting ready at my mom’s house to start decorating for Spring. A little late, I know, but that’s us. She just bought a beautiful new ivory bedding set from HSN.

Storybook Castle – Mural on Canvas
You know that old adage, “the more things change, the more they stay the same”? It seems to hold true with decorating, especially little one’s rooms. Little girls still love princesses & fairies, and little boys love trucks & transportation – things that move. So I painted another castle, this one on a large 52” […]
Bulldog Portrait
I think I’m finally over the whole ‘hacking’ thing. It was hard to even look at my computer for a few days, much less blog or work. This morning I’m feeling renewed & refreshed & ready to write. While I was off my computer I painted. Painting always makes me feel better. It calms me […]
Topiaries, Topiaries, Everywhere!
I’ve been inspired by so many bloggers recently that I’ve finally decided to bite the bullet today & redo my blog. Just simplify it, really. Before I can do that, I have to update my Etsy shop, Zazzle & my website. Whew! I may not get it all done today, but it’s a start. I’ve […]
