Homemade Card

Well, I found some old card kits that I won on a scrapbookong cruise (in 2008) in the Caribbean- yes it's true these ultra geek artsy cruises exist. What fun! 

This is for a friend who is expecting her first baby. I had to make something special.

Moroccan Spice Shop

First Painting of 2015--One of my favourite stops in Morocco was the spice store where they sold the best freshest tasting olive oil and wonderful Moroccan Argan oil. The smells and colours were unreal. The shop was set up almost like a turn of the century pharmacy with the shopkeeper behind the counter. But the spices were everywhere. Acrylics on canvas--16x20 approximately 

Another Ballerina for a true dancer!

Another acrylic...tutus are such fun to paint!

Ballerinas for little girls!

Inspired by Degas I did these cheery paintings to hang in a 2 and 3 year olds bedrooms.

Another Chalk Pastel--I used Strathmore Textured White Paper from Michaels and it held the pastel much better than I expected.

Hot Pink Glasses

Another chalk pastel...I added rhinestones for some bling! 

Willington Beach Pastel Framed

I gave this to a wonderful colleague who retired last week. It looks so wonderful in a "manly" frame. Thank you Cornerstone Framing in Chilliwack.
