Painting aside, I do love me some crafting. You could never guess who these letters were for. These were my first set, and now I've even found an awesome distributor that can do all different fonts, sizes, and thicknesses (as Shelley learned with Caroline and her crazy alphabet wall).
This is actually my first real painting. Tony saw a piece of artwork that he loved and I thought - "hey, that would be a good graduation present". Then I saw that it cost $5000. I went and bought a canvas and some paint brushes and took a whack at it. The result is below.
This one is actually a portrait. If you asked me to do a portrait from a creative standpoint, it would be along these lines - but of course nothing like this. This is Kaylie Marie. She is one of a kind.
I haven't done people (I do love hands, but faces are difficult for me) - but I would be willing to try, and if the result looked like a 90 year old hooker, you would not be on the hook for the pricetag.
I do love landscapes with vivid color. This one is the drive-up of my Great Aunts' house in Jellico, TN. I would always tag along with my Mom when she visited in the fall and the trees were so beautiful.
This last one is kind of an aside. These were little initial nameplates that I did for all of the girls that hosted my first baby shower. This picture actually reminds me that I need to get crackin on the 7 or 8 more that are needed as a result of all the birthings.
So here are the examples of past work. I can do straight lines, but they take me longer than something that is more abstract. And I'm up for anything - bring it. I love texture and blended colors and I can scale about any picture to any size. The giant painting that I did for my parents started out as a faded Polaroid.
