Thank You, Mrs. Austin

Today I'm thinking about this beautiful, inspirational woman. Not only has she been my oldest Paint Nite participant of 93 and traveled all the way from Mississippi, but she thanked me so sweetly in a letter after that I will forever cherish. Thank you Mrs. Austin.

Christmas Eagle

My grandmother loves eagles.... So the painting choice seemed obvious as a Christmas gift. (I could have finger painted it and she still would have loved it ). I'm pleased with how it turned out, and it only took about 2 hours. The feathers are my favorite part, especially where the blue shows through.

Teaching

Here's a fun photo from one of my events.

Couples Painting

Here is an idea of a couples painting that I am playing with. It is of the Harrisburg Bridge  in the fall. Black and white paintings seem to be a big hit, specially if there are limited colors in it as well.

Opa's 80th Birthday decorations

I got to use my "creative" eye in a different way this past weekend! Here are the center pieces I helped create for an 80th birthday party in my parents' barn. It's amazing what you can do with some burlap and a hot glue gun! I was also able to use my fancy Ti5 camera and take some beautiful photos of my parents' barn and the party.

Winter Paintings

Here are two new paintings I've created for Paint Nite! I'm excited about these ones even though they might look a little more difficult than previous ones I have made. 

Bedroom Mural

Here is a sneak peak of my bedroom mural so far. You can see what it will eventually turn into. About 8 hours in, so excited!
