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!

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and ...

Vintage Layout

I wanted to share this layout with you all. I recently submitted a design team application and I had to make a layout. I haven't made a layout in years so it was a nice challenge. I enjoyed making the first one so much I wanted to try another one. This one is dedicated to my sweet grandmother, Thelma Cobbs. This was her college picture back in the 1930's. I just love this picture of her, the sepia tone color and the style is so classic.  Her style has influenced my artistic approach.  I loved all her lace handkerchiefs, hats, gloves, purses and jewel. So I have taken a lot of her traditional, glamours style and use it on my cards and now layouts.  I know she would be so proud to see her fashion sense in my work. Maybe it is my way of keeping her alive and close to me.  Love and miss you Nana! Supplies used are: Webster's Pages patterned paper, Scenic Route rub-on words, Prima flowers, leaves from Michael's, form adhesive on the lady images, cream ribbon and white...
