I recently learned that I’m an arteest. I had no clue. I decided to work on a project for my two youngest boys rooms, to help turn it into a whimsical space emporium. So, I picked up a couple of canvases, some acrylics and went to work. That spawned the following images.
If you’re interested in having me do one for you or your children’s room, go to the Contact Us area of the site and send me an email with a full description of what you’d like, and an image if you have one of what you would like, along with the size canvas you would like, and I’ll quote you a price.
(Here’s hoping that my husband won’t throw a fit that I want to buy a new camera on an “after-christmas-sale” because mine sucks. So I hope these capture these…)
This is the first one I did. What started it all (lol). This one hangs over Sam’s bed. I didn’t think to get pictures through the process of this one, but for most of the others, I did.
This next one is Logan’s. It hangs over his bed, and Sam and Logan share a room, so it’s all part of the space deal. They’ve also got a remote control solar system, star hooks for their backpacks, glow in the dark stars over both of their beds and I’m quite seriously thinking about doing a mural on their one large wall that’s in their room. This is kinda fun….
Then Came Dora. Dora will look not finished. At the last second Christmas Eve, I put Hola Caliana! on it, for the little girl who it was going to. 
Next is the abstract I did for my niece’s room. She got all new bedding for Christmas, so this matches it. This one was fun. I was all sorts of excited to learn I could script free-hand. 
The next one is one of my favorites. I love Tink’s eyes. Her nose is a little dubious, but…i’m new. Cut me some slack. I did this one for my friends, Christie and John’s little girl Trinity.
This space one is for Christie and John’s little boy Christian.
This is the one I did for my son Alex’s room, and the little name plaque I painted to go with it. His room is like a beach-surfer theme. Lots of bright funky stripes etc. I don’t like the way the flash made his painting look.
This next one is one of my favorites. I really like the way the background and the shading turned out on this one. This is for my nephew, Camren.
Here’s one I drew but Mandi, my friend painted. I don’t have a picture of the finished painting, just my drawing.
And finally, the one I am working on for my livingroom…(it’s a work in progress and I think it looks funny on the bottom left…)

Wow, I can’t believe you have no experience and you are churning out these cool pieces! I especially like the monkey one, the landscape for your living room, and your lettering on the dot one is really cool. Mostly I love that you are coming up with all of these ideas and making them happen. I wish I had that kind of creativity and follow-through! I would have retro Advent calendars for sale and would have a lot more knitting and calligraphy finished.
Instead I have a big basket of yarn and fizzled out at about the 8-ornament point on our own calendar. So it goes…
LOL Thank you Jen! It’s amazing how much fun these are. It has been so relaxing just to chill and paint. I’ve been painting at night and it’s just a really nice way to chill down after a long day.
You can TOTALLY do it! I know it! Just sit down with the intention of watching TV and relaxing and put it on your lap. That’s what I’ve been doing and it works beautifully. I have to go look up what an advent calendar is, LOL I am intrigued!
Will you take pictures?
Wow! That is amazing! I wish I was that creative. I try really hard but my drawings always look like crap. Great job!
