Acrylics

As of late, I've become really interested in acrylic painting. I've been doing watercolors for years and I am ready for a change. So this is the first of many pieces I've painted. First lesson I learned when painting on canvas- always have a plan for what you're going to paint. I thought I would be some free form artist that would just paint and let the canvas speak to me. Ummmm... that method doesn't work for me. Having a plan truly is the best. Either way, I really liked the final product even when there were points when I was second guessing myself.

DIY Painting on Fabric

I've been scouring etsy for a cute romper or dress for my 17th month old daughter. I've come to the conclusion that I can make exactly what I want for a fraction of the price. I plan to paint one of my daughter's dresses that I bought on sale at Target. I guess you can call it a Target hack. Just to be smart, I'm practicing on some old dish towels. Always always always practice first! I was inspired by Anna Rifle to paint colorful flowers. I'm pretty happy with it considering it is my first try. I'll post another picture of dress when I'm done.

Mexican Glass Mosaic

I was inspired my a colored glass mosaic that I found in Cabo San Lucas. I wish I could be on the beach soaking up the sun and feel the sand in between my toes.

King of Hearts

This was a valentine that I painted for my husband. His name is Ryan, which means, "little king". He is the little king of my heart!

Viva Mexico

Inspiration comes from anywhere. Mine came from a recent much needed trip to Cabo San Lucas. Ah Cabo, the land of bright colors, beaches, and limonadas. I soaked in the culture, food, and art. As a result, I am obsessed with Frida Kahlo, sugar skulls, and papel picado banners. 

Viva Mexico!
