in between painting the final mermaid...

a custom order came my way. name panels for a baby girl named Mia. and oh how i LOVE doing custom work. especially for babies :)

below are the sketches and color palette i will be using. the theme-butterflies and gingham....in purple. the letters will be much thicker on the finished panels, but you get the point...

can't wait to get started on these! :)

almost there....

baby Finn's name...DONE!

i meant to post these last week when they were finished, but time got away from me, obviously...

working on the final 2 side panels this week. and then they will be on their way to california to hang in Finn's room :)

welcome baby Finn!

while currently working on my mermaid series of paintings, i received a custom order (my first one in a while....)

about 5 years back, i did a nursery art set of paintings for a sweet baby girl named Fia. well mom loved everything so much that she approached me last week to do their baby boy's name panels as well (and two other coordinating paintings). of course i said YES! besides, cute little animals and bright colors?! right up my alley...;)

ophelia and olivia owls...FOR SALE

well, i've been busy working on re-doing the website (which is DONE-thank God). i had to keep myself *sane* in the meantime...so how do i do that?! i PAINT! and then, all is right with the world:)

i LOVE painting nursery art for little kids (as i have an obsession with cute bedding AND could be locked in babies r us for days on end).

i came across the bedding below called In The Woods and i HAD to paint my version of those cute little owls. AND what made it completely irresistible to me....pink and orange....my two favorite colors!:)

well, they are FOR SALE here in my etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/listing/103929497/ophelia-and-olivia-owls-nursery-art-set

please feel free to buy them. they are kinda CUTE....;)

what's better than a set of cute little elephants....?

why a TRIO of cute little elephants, of course ;)

while working on several projects at once, i had an order come in on tuesday night for the nursery art set of elephants i have listed in my shop here

https://www.etsy.com/listing/98855028/bella-and-ella-elephants-nursery-art-set 

to be re-painted in a pink and gray color scheme to match a bedding for a baby shower gift. well, it was a RUSH order, so to speak. needed to be shipped this coming monday the 4th.

well, after deciding 2 might not be enough as far as the wall space was concerned (the canvases are only 6x6), we decided to add a third one.

so....i introduce you to stella. joined by her sisters bella and ella, of course :)

i had a WONDERFUL time painting these, as elephants are my absolute FAVORITE!

thanks for the order Nubia. so happy you are pleased!
