NEW ART "Field of Rest"

Today, I am happy to share my new painting called "Field of Rest." This 16x20 art is my first landscape and full person painting on canvas. It was a fun challenge and I just love how it turned out. I guess all those mornings watching the legendary t.v. painter Bob Ross paid off. LOL!

Also, the trees and sky really turned out so nice. It was a struggle but after some playing around they look so life-like. Also, the dress makes me smile. I love pink and I love the airy look.

Doesn't this breezy field of poppy flowers feel relaxing? And look at those butterflies bringing me peace and joy.

Life's journey can be stressful at times and this painting reminds me to take a break and enjoy a restful place as I recharge my batteries.

I hope this picture brings you joy today, too.



 
 


Thanks for stopping by. Have a nice day!

    Kelly, this is gorgeous. Obviously the hours watching Bob Ross paid off, but I think you just came with lots of talent and have developed it. This will be so pretty hanging in your home. Beautiful work!

    Wow Kelly you did a fabulous job with this! Don't you love Bob Ross? I love the way you captured the wind blowing thru her hair and skirt. You can almost feel it on your face. The colors are so rich, and I love the way you got the shadow on the ground...just beautifully done!

Our Romantic Anniversary Dinner

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great.  Today I wanted  to share some of our wedding anniversary pictures with you.  Last Sunday, my hubby arranged for us to have a romantic dinner at the very place where we had our wedding reception.  I was so excited when I found out that they set up a table for us to have the whole banquet room to ourselves.  How great was that??? The restaurant is right on the bay and has the most spectacular  views.  So when we arrived they had a table set up for us right by the windows so we could get an even better view.  They had the rest of the room set up for an event but I still could remember how it looked the night of our wedding with the lights and the dance floor.  Plus the left side of the room is nothing but windows so you can see more of this secluded bay. So as we dined we watched the sunset and it was so fabulous.  Even at night all the lights from the surroundin...

Happy Hearts

Today I will be sharing one a several painting I recently finished. This one is one of my favorites. I wanted to try two faces and just love how they turned out. It was fun going crazy with the multi-colored background. The hearts were made using my new favorite thing to make from toilet paper rolls- STAMPS.  I saw them on Julie Balzer's blog. Toilet Paper Tube Stamps  Then I used my fingers to paint the inside of the hearts. So neat! Take a look and I hope you feel the love and joy in this piece. Aren't the afro's fabulous!!! LOL! They were my first try and look pretty darn good. The little girls afro puff is so cute and reminds me of the ones I had as a child.   I love the hearts on their clothes. I used my stencil to make the design then painted around just to show the insides. Hope you enjoyed and come back this week to see some other paintings. Have a good one!

Cupcakes Anyone?

Happy Fall! Last Summer I took a cupcake decorating class at Michael's and I loved it. It was really great to learn the basics. This was all new to me and I was excited to try it out.  All Summer I wanted to make more but the weather got too hot to bake so I had to wait. Finally we had a break with some cooler temps and I was able to get back to these yummy treats.   I made two of my favorite colors: happy sunny yellow and hot pink. Oh, and they tasted good too.        Have you tried cupcake or cake decorating before? Isn't it like art? Maybe that is why I love it. Now I can't wait to make some more. Thanks for stopping by!
