“Home” is a simple oil and acrylic painting with a childlike feel.  The idealistic setting of a white house and white picket fence is painted on textured cardstock. Instead of brightening the rainbow I used darker blues and a darker red then added a dark frame. This adds a nice “grown up” feel to a timeless setting.

“Home” is now available in my Etsy shop.

Sisters on Vacation

The little sister to the big sister says,
I’m mom’s favorite
Big sister: What? No you’re not
Little sister: Sure I am, she told me just yesterday.
Big sister: She can’t like you too much, she made you come out here in the middle of nowhere in this blazing heat.
Little sister: I can’t argue with that.

Painting details: High texture, high color, solid black faces, exaggerated features such as ears and eyes, large eye lashes, floral buttons, polka dots and swirling water.

These quarter size pearls were created specifically to match the three paintings I called Three Oceans which are shown in the above photograph. The paintings and the medallions have an earthy feel which is exactly what I was going for.
