New Painting

This is one of the paintings that I will have for sale at Finster Fest that is not available in my etsy store. It is acrylic paint on a 24 x 30 inches unframed. The edges are painted dark blue so it can be hung unframed.

update!

Well I have exciting news! Looks like I'm finally going to get to do my first art festival. This coming May 31rst and June 1rst I will be participating at Finster Fest. I am so excited and so scared. (more about that later) I have been trying to make things like crazy but it is hard when you have two little ones to look after. A lot of the cards and some of the paintings have been greatly influenced by motherhood.

For example I have become obsessed with coloring with crayons. Therefor I have been making lots of cards with crayons. Here are a few.

Yaayyy!!! I finished this painting for my hubby. He loves all things nautical and so do I. This one is not for sale. We're gonna hang it over the couch once it dries. Whadaya think?

nautical themed baby shower

For my first baby shower we decided to make it a nautical theme. My mom and sister (who threw the shower) bought baby blue table cloths, white plates and cups, and noah's ark napkins. Then my sister hung shiny blue and silver stars along with baby blue streamers from the ceiling. For the table center pieces I used some nautical things that we had around the house and things we have bought for Lukas. Here is a treasure chest that I painted and filled with blue yarn and seashells.Here is a pirate ship that I painted for Lukas.

Here is an Octopus that we bought on the cruis to the bahamas. And here are just some seashells from Savannah, Ga and a baby whale piggy bank. isn't it all pretty?

Turned out to be an amazing baby shower and I wouldn't have changed a thing!
