Portrait of a Lady... and her family

I am not always able to take on family portraits, but some families are way too cute to pass up!

Case in point: Johanna and Ryan celebrated their 5th anniversary this fall. To help celebrate, Laureen and Doug (Johanna's parents) hired me to create a family portrait in their honor.

Finished and framed; wrapped and boxed; this portrait is almost ready to ship to it's family. Thanks for the inspiration Johanna, Ryan, Ava and Oliver!

ACEO of the week: COTTON CANDY SHEEP

This week's ACEO is inspired by watching a farmer shear a lamb. I thought, that if the lamb's wool was cotton candy, the farmer could work and have dessert at the same time... Bid now!

ACEO of the WEEK: Who's HOO

This week's ACEO is inspired by those "Whose Who" guides that are pretty much a scam since you have to pay to be someone. And then it got me thinking, what if animals did something like that - how silly... Which makes humans the silliest by far! Bid now!

Apple 4 teacher & Art 4 adoption...

Style icon, big sister and lover of salami at tea parties, my friend Ava has a flare that can't be beat...

So I was honored when I heard that she was rocking out her new backpack with 'Art 4 Adoption' fundraiser pins on the VERY first day of school!

Even though most of us will never be as cool as Ava... with the right accessories (and lunch meat), we can get a little closer!

New project for the boy-reader... That is, boys who read, not people who read boys... Because that would be weird. Anyway, enjoy the sneak-peek!
