I love painting my own artwork but I also admire other painters like Nicole Leigh Smith. Her STYLE is FUN and reminds me of frosting spread on a CAKE...they look yummy! Of course, it's paint, but I love the way she applies it to her canvases! My FAVORITES are the nail polish & the blue flowers. I bet they'd BOTH look even more amazing as a 30"x 40" canvas! What's your fave?!?
You can visit Nicole's blog here or her shop, if you want to buy any of these beautiful one-of-kind paintings!
Welcome back everyone, how was your weekend?! ....so the painting I was supposed to start this weekend didn't get too far. It seemed like I had a ton of things to do and ONLY got to painting the canvas all white! It used to have some RIDICULOUS drawing so I just painted over it. (Great way to save $$ - re-use old canvases) In case you're wondering, this canvas is HUGE..... 7' feet 7" inches x 3' 3" to be exact! I plan to hang it horizontally, but we'll see happens once I start painting.

I'd like to leave you with some amazing paintings I came across the other day by Susan Brown. Her use of color is so pretty & her portfolio is full of bright and cheery images. Go here to see more. Have a lovely weekend....tomorrow I will be celebrating my B-day (early), it's actually in August. But I have some time off this weekend & it seemed like good timing. Will take pics of the BBQ Dinner & decorations!
Perhaps you recall when I blogged about Casey O'Connell here, well, I wanted to let you know she has some NEW art up on her site. Here's a little peak at some of the gorgeous paintings she has on display....don't you just love the use of color?? If you'd like one of these, contact her via email for prices etc. Thanks Casey!
Here's another thing I spent time doing this weekend.....painting. This one will hang in my living room as soon as the frame I ordered arrives. Can't wait! This painting took me a total of 6 1/2 hours, I'm so exhausted right now. But, painting is very soothing....do any of you paint??!? Feel free to leave your site in the comments, I'd love to take a look.
