Commission Building

I painted two versions for the client to choose from - on two different sizes as well. This is my last commission for awhile. I am excited to begin the summer with my kids! I will take next week to get my house and studio in order and then I will be painting again!

Yellow Lab in Colored Pencil Painting

8x8 Colored Pencil on Bristol Board NFS

I have really enjoyed working with the colored pencil and the paint on different projects - but all in the same day! This is our sweet lab Chester. I gave this colored pencil painting and the pastel of our cocker spaniel, Spike, to my husband for Valentines day! If you go back far enough in the blog, you can see the first painting I did of Chester in acrylic.

Please contact me if you are interested in comissioning a pet portrait of your own!

Being an Artist Mom

I am an Artist Mom. However, during the holidays I am only 10% artist and 90% mom. The artist in me is trying to recover from this two month hiatus! So, now that. . .

• the kids rooms have been cleaned out and all of the new toys have found a home
• the laundry is caught up
• the Christmas decorations are down and packed (though not exactly back in the attic)
• I have finished 16 yearbook pages for the kids school and turned them in
• gone to a beautiful wedding of a close friend
• and started that dreadful new year's resolution diet thing. . .

I AM READY TO CREATE AGAIN!

(By the way, if you were to get a Christmas card from me this year the pics above would have been on it. If you didn't get one, don't feel left out - I never quite got around to that this year!)

Fun at Paint! Party at Memi's

Paint! Funky Christmas Party at Memi's

Paint one of these - your choice - on Friday November 28th from 6:30 until 9:00. There are only 12 spots available so reserve yours today! You can call me - Bonnie- 303.4843 or Memi's 466.4099. All supplies included. You will be painting on a 12x24 canvas. Cost is $40. These paintings feature some metalic paint and funky Christmas designs. Come and have fun!

Paint! Birthday Party

This was so much fun! The birthday girl came over to my house the day before and we worked out the

design so she could help me teach her friends how to paint the fairy/angel. It is
always a blessing to me to

see the creativity of children
first hand. They interpret things so differently than
adults and are NEVER afraid to try things out!

This was a talented group of artists! I hope I will be leading more Paint! birthday parties soon!

I am very excited that summer has finally arrived! My children are home from school and with the excpetion of some lingering baseball games, I am free to set my own schedule! This means I am free to be in my studio again! I am also excited to have finished this one. I have been working on it ever so slowly for months now. I posted apple # 1 months ago.

New Orleans Street Band

Yes, finally I can post another painting! I enjoyed painting this one - lots of detail. The canvas is missing the usual texture. I missed it, I really love the effect the texture has on the finished painting.
