Teacher gifts just in time for the holidays!

 

Hi Everyone,

Just stopping by to share the new paintings

in my store! I know it's hard to come up with ideas for

teacher gifts each year, so maybe this will make

things easier for you all? These door hangers/signs measure

6x8 inches & are handpainted & personalized just for you!

Guaranteed to ship this Monday, so you'll have them before

school breaks for the holidays!

New Paintings for December!

Winter is quickly approaching & the cold weather

has forced our family indoors this past week.

My girls are also sick & curled up on the couch, so I'm

taking advantage of this time & being productive in my

art room! I have listed the above paintings,

in original form, on Ebay & also listed

prints of these paintings on Etsy.

Stay warm everyone & hope you enjoy them!

 

2 New Paintings Up for Sale!

 

Hi Friends,

I haven't listed on ebay in a few weeks & thought I'd try

today with two new bird silhouette paintings.

They are titled, "Serene & Tranquil" & I hope you enjoy them!

You can view my ebay items under the seller name Katsmith :o)

Art Journal "Slices"

 

Today I'm sharing a step-by-step process

on how to make art journal slices. I love making these.

You can make a bunch at one time & keep them on a

binder ring for easy access. Maybe just keep them in your

art space for eye candy? I love to give these as gifts as well!

Hope you enjoy the process :o)

Summer's approaching

 

Time seems to be FLYING lately & summer is quickly approaching.

As a homeschool mom, I'm thrilled that our year is nearing an end

 & I'm so excited to be closer to pool season!

The painting above was created for a little
boy's nursery room! The theme was, "Pond Life" &
I couldn't be happier with this frog, especially his mouth :o)

Painted River Rocks

Living near a National Forest & having a creek to play in comes in very handy sometimes. While playing in the water one day, my girls discovered the river rocks (pictured above) & although they were beautiful to look at for awhile...6 months to be exact...I needed to find a use for them! Feeling the need to add color to them, I decided primer, acrylic paint, & stamps would do the trick. After a few hours playing around with the rocks...I loved the end result! I now have a whole collection on display in my craftroom for endless inspiration :o)
