You can now find me on Thumbtack!

My face painting profile is now on Thumbtack.com!  This is a website where service providers can register and potential clients can ask for quotes on specific jobs.  So someone can go to www.thumbtack.com and post a request for a service, which is free.  Then the matching service providers get notified of the request and they can submit a quote for a small fee.  Pretty cool, eh?  Thumbtack has all kinds of categories too, not just face painting, but photography, and "business stuff" like accounting, etc.

Here is the link they gave me to see my profile:

wOil Tulip to be rescheduled in August

Sylvia was the only one to take the class this past Saturday, so she got to pick what we painted!  She chose to do the old fashioned rose canvas, since she can't make that class on June 8th.  She asked to do it on a black background instead of white, and wow!  It turned out fantastic!  This is her painting...Sylvia's painting.  Isn't it incredible?  When you come to this class on June 8th (1-5pm, $40, my house) you can pick what background you want to use.

Mural in my son's room

I'm so excited my mural in my son's room!  I'll show you some of the stages here...

I forgot to take a picture of just the border before I started the landscape, so there was quite a bit of work before this:

Then I added the beanstalk (Jamie wanted jack and the beanstalk in the mural), the tree, and blocked in the cottage:

Then I added the leaves and the birds's nest:

Next comes the cottage, the castle in the sky:


  and some birds in the nest:

And here we have the complete picture!

Two generations of artists

There is no doubt where I got my artistic talent from; my mother.  My mom has been painting these fabulous birds on plaques using acrylic paint this winter and has over thirty of them done so far.  We visited two weeks ago and she asked me to add some of my flowers to a few of her plaques.  Boy, was I nervous!  It turned out to be such a wonderful afternoon, sitting and talking with my mom while she watched me paint.

My two favorites are the first two plaques in the picture below:


I showed my mom how to do some easy pine branches the One Stroke way...



I added pine to the two cardinals below.  The adorable woodpecker in the middle is all my mom's.  I told her she needs to teach me how she did the tree bark the next time we get together!


Isn't my mom an amazing artist!

Snow Day

Today is a snow day and we went outside to build a snowman.  It started as a traditional snowman until I started carving away at it.  Too bad it will probably melt away by the weekend, but I'd rather have the warm weather!

Woil Teaser

This is one of the paintings I will be including in my class schedule.  I painted this over Christmas when I was visiting with my mom.
