One of my clients I have known for over 20 years showed me photos of her grand kids and it gave me an idea for her Christmas present. I did separate paintings in watercolor of the kids and gave it to her. She sent me a photo of how she had it framed. It turned out just lovely. She said the little boy came over and the first thing he pointed to when they came in was the paintings. I am so glad they will enjoy this for years to come.artis1111http://www.blogger.com/profile/02712242800979796396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560416585197653189.post-49481435687628653902015-12-23T01:01:00.002-08:002023-05-23T09:16:58.526-07:00Gift For ChristmasA client of mine had a grandson last year , so I waited and kept looking on her daughter in laws facebook pages . I waited till she posted a photo of the little boy that showed his personality. I found it in a Christmas photo this year. I then cropped the picture to where I wanted it and began to paint. This is the finished painting of William. I gave it to her as a gift , and she was thrilled.<br />

My friend has 2 pugs so I wanted to make her something for Christmas. She has a lot of pug items but did not have a hat that she could wear. I just could not resist and gave it to her early. Well she wore that SUMMER hat to the dentist that day and had a ball with all the compliments she got. I love it when you make some present and they love it so much.<br />
I just had to try it on myself when I was done painting. I think I may do me one with dachshunds on it.<br />

This is our 5th book in this series,that just came out on Amazon. We have 6 books in all. I wanted to do this book now because so much of this is going on . I hope that this book will give a child courage to speak out if they are being bullied.</div>

First it had to be small then we had to have it right now. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We went in search every where but to no luck in finding the one that had that special look. It was for the Parade of Home Show house you see so it had to have that WOW affect. She bought the small vanity on the left and said FIX IT ! This is what I came up with for the WOW factor.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dfR9ob40QQg/UFRIiZLRJJI/AAAAAAAAKt0/G3Qyqx1Oct8/s1600/asd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dfR9ob40QQg/UFRIiZLRJJI/AAAAAAAAKt0/G3Qyqx1Oct8/s640/asd.jpg" width="481" /></a></div><br />

These paintings are for the Parade of Homes house my friend is building. </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I did two murals for the house and did these canvas paintings to hang in there also.<br />
<br />
I will post photos of the house when we have it ready for the show. It is a lovely home. I have had fun helping with this one. She is building two more homes and they will have some art work in them. The next is 5 bedroom house. These are not your average homes they are quite unusual.<br />

I know for a fact that when you go in for treatment in a Cancer Center you are scared and nervous. Years ago I painted the center my Mom was treated in . The first time I walked in the room ,it was scarey even for me. I painted it with a garden scene. I have had several relatives that have had to go through treatment. Four years ago another Cancer Center had men to do a ceiling for them, and that same company is doing a new center,so they contacted me again. <br />
This is what I did for them .<br />
It took me 8 hours. My hubby was such a big help. He move things around, got clean water for my brushes. took photos of the work, and stayed with me while I painted. Now the patients can be distracted from the treatments as they look at the ceiling.artis1111http://www.blogger.com/profile/02712242800979796396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560416585197653189.post-59082816370077203832012-03-01T17:05:00.002-08:002012-03-01T17:14:31.893-08:00New One<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jzP14Hyri7Q/T1Ae8BHDq5I/AAAAAAAAKbc/Pl8OO3d849I/s1600/51RXvyJLl5L__SL500_AA300_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jzP14Hyri7Q/T1Ae8BHDq5I/AAAAAAAAKbc/Pl8OO3d849I/s1600/51RXvyJLl5L__SL500_AA300_.jpg" /></a></div>Our newest book is now out on Amazon.com It is the 5 book Ann Lovell and myself have done as a team.

It had sall peices missing and had nails sticking out the back. She had found it in her fathers garage/ workshop rafters. He had passed away and they were getting the tools ready to sell. <br />
On the way home I thought and thought of what to do with this big frame. Then it hit me. I never told my brother what I had in mind, so it was a total shock when she opened a small box for Christmas. Inside it had a small note that had question marks on it and it said Mirror mirror on the wall ??? <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Deb looked at me and I replied, can it mean the bathroom mirror..No What about the hall mirror..No Then it must mean our bedroom mirror !!! I took her into the room and sitting on the Bombay dresser, in front of a mirror I had her present covered with a sheet.<br />
