Book Fish

Today I’m posting about a watercolor painting that I made as a Christmas gift. The painting was for my husbands Aunt. She is a librarian and her last name is Fish. So it was natural to have the idea of a cute fish reading books in its fish bowl. It was really fun to come up with concept. I really enjoy making home made gifts for people, especially family. The painting is about 5×7 in size and will be perfect for her office or a little reading nook. If you need any custom art or paintings made, shoot me a message! I would love to help!

Stay Spooky

Is the weekend over already? I feel like it flew by really fast. It was a pretty busy weekend for us with family in town, my oldest son’s birthday party and errands. Monday always seems to come too fast. I’m trying to build up some Halloween art in my portfolio, so you will be seeing a lot of it until Halloween comes along. Here is one I did recently. It was a pretty fast sketch during some downtime, but I still like how cute it turned out. This one was made digitally on my iPad. Stay spooky everyone! Enjoy!

Basic Pumpkin

Happy Monday! Here is a quick design I made on my iPad this past week using my Procreate app. I thought it would be cool to create a piece that displays the common trend of being called “basic” during the Fall season. Especially if you like anything pumpkin spice…which unfortunately includes me! If being basic is wrong then I do not want to be right. I’ve got my scarf and fake Ugg’s on while holding my favorite pumpkin spice latte this morning. I’m owning it!

Cute Halloween Witch

Hey everyone! It’s the weekend and it has been full of planning for birthday and halloween parties. It’s amazing how many things you have to take into consideration, especially the weather. We have had, what it feels like, a week and a half of rain here in Kansas City. They even mentioned the dreaded word….Snow…. possibly overnight tonight. Fingers crossed that doesn’t happen. Here is a cute witch that made this week. I had a special request to make her because they wanted a cute witch mug. It looks so cute! Here are a couple of sales going on in my shop today…just in case you were wanting a mug too!

Acorns

Here are before and after pics of a recent sketch I did. The before was drawn out with pencil and outlined with pen. I used Prismacolor markers to color in these sweet acorns. I love how the color is intense and saturated with Prismacolor markers. They are my go to marker of choice! Keep your eyes out for some Hallowe

Moving Critters

Hey everyone! This past weekend was basically a wash….literally it rained all weekend and it’s still raining. So a lot of our activities that were planned were cancelled. But hey, what can you do? Here is a commissioned piece I did for a friend to put on a moving card. The animals are their 3 actual pets. I used photos of them and tried to make the likeness as much close as I could. They made postcards to mail their new address to everyone after moving into their new house. I think they turned out really cute. If you need custom art, just shoot me a message!

EEK! It’s October!

I can’t believe it’s already October 1st! I feel like school just started. Here’s a quick sketch that I created just for today. I drew it out digitally using my Procreate app.

Look out on Wednesday for a chance to win a giveaway for one of my art prints. Do you have a favorite? Let me know your pick and maybe that will be one the I choose!

Hedgehog Sketch

Happy weekend everyone! We have had a busy morning of errands and baseball games. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. My oldest had one of his best batting games today. This week I drew up this little guy to keep the fall momentum going. Here is a pic of just the outline and another completely colored in. I’m hoping to keep up drawing quick drawings in my sketchbook during our busy schedule.

Fall is Coming

Hey everyone! Happy Monday! Here is a before and after color look of this cool autumn sketch that I created. I’m loving the warm colors that I chose, it just screams fall. But the one good thing about this sketch is the endless possibilities of color combinations that could be used. I may have to play around with some more combos. Keep your eyes peeled for a giveaway coming soon. Meanwhile here are some sales going on in my shops today:

Yip, Yip Hooray!

Happy Monday! Here is a quick sketch I did recently. I wanted to do a cute little drawing with a dachshund/weener dog. I think this will be super cute on a greeting card. I’m hoping to have this up in my shops later today. I hope everyone has a great week!
