I am so ready for Spring, as I guess most of us are, and I love adding pretty bugs some of my to my Spring paint projects. Bugs . . . pretty? Ok. So there are bugs and then there are bugs. Some make you go “Ewwww”. And some, “Oooooo”. We’ll save the creepy kind […]
How To Paint Daffodils
Hey there! What do you think of my new ‘digs’? I’m seriously in love. I didn’t know it was possible to be in love with a website . . . but I am. And it’s mine, all mine. I still have some tweaking to do and it’s going to take some time but it’ll be […]

Daisy Painting Tutorial

Paint a Pretty Teacup
