I am a full time artist living in Orlando Fl, with my husband and our family of 2 Shih Tzus.
Nature Scapes in acrylic are among my favorite things to paint and this blog will show the progress of my works in their different stages. Many of my paintings are created using multiple canvases to create a sculptural affect. If you have any questions you would like me to answer about my work or techniques, please let me know and I will be happy to blog about it.
I am also a busy jewelry artist and will be posting photos of finished pieces of interest.
I'll also be including lots of garden photos and other inspirational pictures along the way.
Just yesterday I finished my Butterfly & African Violets painting. This piece was painted with acrylic paint on an ornate vintage ceiling tin.
Lots of my favorite color in this one......PURPLE!
The inspiration for this acrylic painting came from the 4 lovely African Violets I purchased a couple of weeks ago at one of my favorite nurseries. They always have a beautiful selection there, not just African Violets but just about everything. I'll be purchasing the Geraniums for my garden from them later this month and lots of Impatiens from them in the month of May.
Some of the inspirational African Violets in their new home by my Orchids and Maidenhair Fern.
My only delemma was which color plant to use in my ceiling tin painting. I finally settled on the purple and white ones though.......
This piece will be coming to my website and ETSY site www.artfulcreations.etsy.com soon. Enjoy the spring weather and try to look around for something that can inspire you everyday.
