Bugs -n- Such

2010-10-05T13:55:00.000-05:00

This has been a more popular selection - it was done on 1 x 4 x 3 rectangular shaped quality pine pieces. They picked "frogs" for the background - but I have done them with bugs and alligators too! I fasten them together securely from the back and hang them by sturdy gauge wiring.

Baseball!

These were painted on 3 inch round wood pieces, about 1 inch thick, great quality - and ribbon to hang each letter! $5 per letter.

Zebra Crazy!

2010-10-05T13:51:00.000-05:00

Zebra-themed rooms are cute, and this was my second one, and I am currently working on one more! This was on 11 x 14.

Amore!

This was a birthday gift for my daughter's friend who has a pink and black Paris themed room. It worked out well that there's an "A" in her name!

For some sweet girls!

Home Run!

2010-10-05T13:37:00.000-05:00

I did this trio for a baseball player from Ebay! I actually stretched and made each canvas, 8 x 10, and personalized the jersey colors, name, and number!

Trio $50

Space take-off!

2010-10-05T13:34:00.000-05:00

Someone actually found me through Craigslist and bought this from me - her mother is a teacher and she wanted to suprise her - so I mailed it without ever even meeting her! But, she loved it! Her theme was "Radford's Rockets"

Some others along the way....

Sweet Little Lady Bugs

2010-10-01T21:49:00.000-05:00

I like this size canvas, it's a little different than what I'm used to, and a little more expensive, but it's a great size for a long name like this one!

I was commissioned to paint this to match bedding that was bought from Walmart - and cute it was! It has beautiful colors, and I hope her mother loves it!

2010 Teacher Signs!!

2010-09-24T09:26:00.000-05:00

Here are a few more teacher signs I did this past few week. I always love a challenge, and when first given this one with the hummingbird, I wasn't sure how it would turn out. Hummingbirds are tough - the first few I did looked a little like bees - but in the end, the hummingbird appeared!

These are all done on 12 x 12 square canvas with acrylic paints!

$35 for theme

$30 for non-theme

Long time.... no pictures!

It's been a while, but I am finally able to post some more pics. Some are recent, and some are a few years old. I was excited to do this most recent one of the zebra print, it was fun!! I also did another teacher one!

In the Wilderness?

2008-09-09T18:59:00.000-05:00

When I got the call about doing one in the wilderness, I was a little stumped, I hadn't done anything like this before, so I thought for a couple of days on it. I think it turned out cute, and it seemed to match her room! This was a gift to Mrs. Mackey from another teacher.

Happy Birthday Savanna !

2008-08-25T18:14:00.000-05:00

This was done for a dear friend of mine's daughter, Savanna. It was her 9th birthday, and she was excited. I was excited, that she was excited, hehe! It hangs above her bed, and matches her room. It was done on 16 x 20 canvas.

Twins are born !!

2008-08-25T17:09:00.000-05:00

I did these a while back for a set of twins, boy and girl, that were to be born. They were going to share a room. It was a bit of a challenge, but ended up great. I hung a red ribbon from the girls, and blue ribbon from the boys. I mailed these all the way to Michigan! Thanks Ashley!

Doodlebuggy Fun !

2008-08-25T17:01:00.000-05:00

This one was a lot of fun! I painted this for Cameryn's first grade teacher. Her room is already so cute. They are called the "Durham's Doodlebugs". It is on her front door, and I have to say, it's very fitting and gets you ready for an adorable atmosphere inside! Thanks Stacy!

First Canvas for Teacher !!!

2008-08-25T10:42:00.000-05:00

I just finished my first canvas for a teacher. Hum, never had really thought of that before! It is for Ashley McConaghy who is a fourth grade teacher in Pensacola. She is so cute and sweet, and wanted me to do a sign for her room. Her theme is pretty much "frogs". I wasn't sure about all the colors, but after I saw pictures of her classroom, I knew it would match perfectly.
She was so happy about it and loved it, which of course, makes me estatic!
It was done on 11 x 14 x 1 canvas with acrylics and water, colors of blues, greens, pinks, and a little black, and had a green polkadot ribbon to hang it.
Thanks Ashley!
