...amongst the tall white birch trees, stood a raven haired girl named wimberly, joined by her faithful scarlet red companions :)

here is a sketch i did back in may for a painting i am HOPING to get to in the next few weeks.

oh winter, how i LOVE you so!

santa's little helpers....

here is my holiday 2012 card design (which i am currently painting).

it's pippa and her little friend peppermint, the candy cane striped zebra :)

yes, animals such as this exist in nicole's world for sure! besides, i have such a crazy love for candy canes and all things peppermint, that i just couldn't resist putting it into a little character ;)

so, pippa and peppermint....santa's little helpers for 2012. because you don't have to be an elf or a reindeer to lend a helping hand!

a preview of some Chrismas....

CUTENESS! :)

introverted...yes. shy...NEVER!

here is a sketch for the bio page of my website, which i put together all by myself this past july. thanks to intuit websites and their software, i was able to put it all together in just a little over a week.

a princess....

and a prince. well, he WAS a prince. now, he's a super cute little frog!:)

i promised one more princess before the holidays. and here she is! the lovely tiana and her adorable frog prince.

can i say that i'm actually pleased with this way this turned out? sure i can...;)
i LOVED painting her dress the most (must be my *thing* for princess dresses. actually i just have a *thing* for dresses all together....big surprise....)
