The Beginning...

FINALLY!

I am here in blog land!

I have wanted to get a website up and running for a very long time.

This is going to be my place for posting photos of my ART for all to see.

Sort of like my *online portfolio*

I thought I would begin with this......one of the first things I was commissioned to paint.

This is pretty much where it all began!

From Day One I have added little touches of meaning into my art pieces.

In this one you will find on the right side a curly N - that is the initial of the person I created this for.

The fleur de lis is her favorite thing.

The colors are all from her home.

The green striped section mimics one of the walls in her house.

So does the black and cream harlequin section.

She loves animal print, that is where the zebra and leopard come into play.

The little section of rock looks just like the rock on her fireplace.

This art piece was created for a designer who my mom (and myself and my sister randomly) worked for.

She was instrumental in getting me most of my jobs in the beginning,

 and still she brings me many contacts.

This was painted on a 4' x 6' piece of wood.

It has since been framed and looks fabulous!!!

Thanks for visiting my new little blog and keep on the lookout for new photos to be posted.
