NEW in the Leftovers Series | | |
April ended up being a very business-heavy month, so there hasn't been a ton of progress on my larger work - but I was able to finish up three new little Leftovers pieces! All three of these paintings were created using only the leftover paint from my current large-scale bathroom painting… so stay tuned next month for updates on that piece.
I’m absolutely loving the color palette in these three. The cool blues mixed with just a few warmer tones make me smile every time I look at them. Here are Shattered, Zest, and Process.
I hope you enjoy these spontaneous little pieces as much as I do!
| | I WOULD LOVE YOUR FEEDBACK! | | |
I need your help! Have you purchased some of my artwork or taken one of my classes? I am hoping to put together a collection of testimonials and would so appreciate if you could take a minute to write something or send me a photo. I absolutely love to see photos of my work displayed in your home or paintings you've done in my classes. Thank you all so much!
