Daily Painting of Vanilla Ice Cream Cone Melting

"I'm Melting," acrylic on panel, 7" x 5".

SOLD

I picked up a half gallon of vanilla ice cream for this small series of ice cream paintings.

Fun fact: I painted these pieces mostly upside down (the paintings, not me!). Why? Because it helps me to see the shapes more objectively.

Three Trompe L'Oeil Daily Paintings Inspired by Vintage Copy of Robert Louis Stevenson's Child's Garden of Verses

"Time to Rise," acrylic on panel, 8" x 8".

SOLD

I recently came across a well-loved vintage copy of Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses and thought I'd turn a few of my favorite verses and illustrations into daily paintings. It's amazing that these were written well over a hundred years ago and are just as lovely today.

Behind the Scenes - Acrylic Painting of Life Board Game Wheel and Board

I again used our early 90s Life Board Game as the model for this piece. At 11" x 14", it's one of my larger pieces, which is always a challenge, but definitely pushes my painting skills.

Here are some behind-the-scenes photos of the painting process. Thanks for looking!

Up on Etsy - Daily Still Life Painting of Colored Pencils, Hearts and Bubble Letters

"Color," acrylic on panel, 6" x 6".

SOLD

For Christmas, my young nephew and nieces sent me and my husband an array of thoughtful gifts, including these colored pencils from my 10-year-old niece. So I thought I'd paint a little piece to help me remember what it was like to be a 10-year-old girl, drawing hearts and bubble letters.
