This commissioned portrait of these 2 beagles is to be given as a gift! Hope they liked it ;-) Painted on dog poetry, glued onto 12" square canvas. I love how the words and phrases peak through the images! 

 Adding this sassy little guy to my collection of #petportraits .

Painted on #HumaneSociety adoption papers, this #rescue #chihuahua #painting was a #birthdaygift for my mom :-)

 Inspired by one of my favorite places to visit, the #DetroitZoo , I designed my #skateboard entry for the #SouthStreetSkateshop #DeckArt contest after the iconic #bear fountain. It kinda reminds me of an old #postcard from a family trip. I sanded the varnish off the board and painted directly, skipping the primer. The water itself is raw wood. Wish me luck!

 I must say, this was a fun project to work on. I suppose it's because the program this logo was designed for, I hold dear to my heart. #MakerGirlMania is designed to spark an interest in #STEM for girls in elementary school with the hope they will fan that flame and continue their interest into high school, and beyond. This program is well designed by their founders and has been a huge success from the beginning.

And here's another entry for the library mural contest. The butterflies will start on the adjacent wall to the mural and swirl into the main mural. The butterflies will start off with no detail and fly into different butterfly species as they enter the main wall of the mural.

My entry for the library mural contest. I call it: The Library, a place for the heart and mind to grow.

When we read a book, whether for education or entertainment, our thoughts blossom into something more than what we had before turning the first page.

This little lovely was a warm up... Though I love sunflowers, I find them to be a little more challenging than the other flowers.

Open an adventure! This mural design not only represents fantasy, but also Ursa Major and Ursa Minor are holding the book open, while Draco flies overhead, confronting a dragon fly. The constellatic figures represent the universe and beyond.

 Today was the deadline for the bookmark design contest at the library, and I made it in on time --wahoo!! I was inspired by the beautiful bear sculpture welcoming visitors.
