Man's Best Friend

This commission was a nice surprise. I was contacted to paint this as a Christmas gift for her husband. The dog passed almost 2 years ago to the day. It is hard to lose a family member, and some people, see their pets as family. I was happy to do this piece.

From the woman who commissioned the painting- Thank you so much, my husband will absolutely love this. It's already framed. Our heart and soul dog crossed the rainbow bridge 2 years ago today ❤️🐾❤️🐾" 

Dog Drawing

Hard to see, but I've got the beginnings of a pet drawing commission, and the finished product. I'm loving all this extra drawing and painting work before Christmas! Message me with any creative projects you might have, I've got a sewing job to do too!

Hand Painted/drawn portraits make great valentines gift as well!! Never to early to start planning!

Winery T-shirts

I'm really excited to see the progress my parents are making the family winery. As a Christmas gift, my brother is getting everyone in the family t-shirts. I'm so excited with how they turned out! It is awesome to see the logo I created and design on the front! It also makes the winery feel more like a reality than a dream. We are getting so close!

Caterpillar Speed Painting

Watch the process of taking a 3 year old's smudges and turning it into something recognizable, a Caterpillar! Leif's colorful artwork came out wonderful! Please like, share and comment!

Luca Speed Painting

Here it is! I'm still getting used to making these speed painting videos. Luca was so much fun to paint. Let me know if you have a portrait (people or pets) or any other painting projects you might have!

Painting Luca

Here is a painting of a little boy named Luca. His grandmother commissioned the piece and I was very excited to work on it! She really liked how it turned out. The only thing that I was skeptical about was that in the painting, I thought that Luca looked a little old than in the photograph. But after seeing him in person, I didn't think that anymore. It's possible the photo she gave me was from a while ago and the painting looks more like his current self. Young kids change on a daily basis! It's made from water color on paper.

I also created a speed painting video out of this. It took me about 3 hours to paint and the video is less than a minute. Here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnQcXpma-ZM

Painting Dakota

It feels good to paint! I'm in love with this painting I created of Dakota. My favorite part by far is his epic beard! I have never painted a beard so I was nervous that I might looked like it was not actually attached to his face. It turned out much better that I expected and I am happy that it looked like him.

Here is the link to the speed painting video I created for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPISx8MlRsA
