Expecting

Oil with knife, on canvas.

In honor of my sister Joy, who recently had a baby.

Just Breathe

Oil on canvas with painting knife.--I just discovered it and it's so much fun! I am a little awkward with the knife but for a first time I think this turned out okay.

Practice Makes Perfect

Trying to master the art of painting "les paysages". Oh well, practice makes perfect they say!

The original drawings of these paintings are from some art books I have. Painting water is such a challenge for me so I forced myself to try these two scenes.

White Lillies

Acrylic on canvas.
I'm especially proud of this one as I made the canvas frame all by myself! Ok, so it didn't turn out as nice as the ones you buy, but it's still an accomplishment for me.
