A Mother/daughter piece!

For the first time, I made a mother/daughter canvas as a tribute for my daughter's second trade teacher.  She has one little girl who is six and she is the apple of her eye.  She loves that little pumpkin more than anything in this world!  I had so many ideas that I tossed around in my head but I am pretty satisfied how it turned out.  I put the little one's birth date on the canvas in a few places...It will be fun to see if she notices that.  :) I hope she likes it!

A dreamy bunting

I made this 12x12 canvas for my sweet niece, Hailey, as a Christmas gift.  She is a sophomore in college and the sweetest girl on the planet.  Her parents say that she is an old soul and I believe that to be true.  She just radiates sunshine and I wanted to give her something to put in her room at her sorority that would lift her up every time she sees it.  I feel like the combination of the colors and the quote do just that.  I use this background color a lot in my canvases!  It is my all-time favorite acrylic paint color and it's called "spa blue."

Art for an "angel"

This is one of the first "girls" that I ever made.  It was a gift for my niece who was a freshman in college and had just pledged as a "Pi Phi".  They are known as "angels" so I put some wings on her and wrapped her up.  I was so happy that she loved it!

12x12 Thanksgiving pilgrim canvas

This is a 12x12 collage I did in honor of Thanksgiving! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this quote!!!!!! I mean, I literally can read it over and over and ponder the significance of it.  I believe this quote to be incredibly rich with meaning.  It has been quite a challenging year for our family.  I try to keep what I have to be thankful for at top of mind at all times.  I think this quote is really amazing because it points out that material things aren't everything.  If you're happy with the fact that you're alive, you're loved...well, than you have plenty to be thankful for.
