Winter Wonderland

Being the obsessive control freak that I am, I decided to make by hand my very own original design shower invitations... i even considered starting this as my new side business.

Funky Pottery

I like to think I can do pretty much anything or at least i give it a shot, so one day walking by one of those arts and crafts places where you can paint your own pottery i gave that a try and these have been my little projects so far:






Beach Girl

I find it really hard to take someone elses vision and paint it. i really don't have a method to my madness so trying to figure out what someone else might want is harder than putting my own thoughts onto a canvas.  here i was told to work with a sexy girl, lips waves and awesome hair.







Diesel

Larger than life pitbull. his head was massive i had to re-paint it bigger...








Mr. Harvey bernstein

this is the best dog in the universe!!! he's a labradoodle who thinks he's a human and he's scared of his own shadow. i was drawing a blank one day sketching doodles and i look over at his human face... this was i came up with :)






My Dad the Horse

Horses have long faces and it's not necessarily a compliment if someone calls you horse face. but my father had a long face and everyone called him horse face, i never thought anything of this until after he passed away... i cant help but think of my dad when i see a horse. and the idea grew on me. here i wanted to show how i felt about my dad and what i see of him in me...









Dr. Seuss Goes to India

A friend of mine told me he had a dream that i painted some elephants with red earrings, sold it and made lots of money... so i figured it cant hurt to paint some elephants! LOL not to mention i think elephants are pretty cool!




Connected as One

With this painting I try to think outside the box and I want to stay away from my style. this was kinda winging it I didn't have a premeditated result just went with the flow.




Beatlemania

I love to paint and listen to The Beatles. i have been inspired by them before but this is the largest painting I've done so far...
