Happy Anniversary Liz and Dean!

Custom bridal dress portraits make a great gift!

Come check out Cheerful Canvas's Painting Parties! I am proud to have this concept as part of my home Studio now, and welcome it as an addition to a new series of classes that are going to be starting soon. The 5th on 5th Series. Paintings, crafts, jewelry, up-cycling, and home accent classes are in the works.

If you know of anyone who would like to teach a class and needs the space, have them give me a call and we can see about getting them on the schedule. Cooking, needle-work, knitting, jewelry, soap-making, decoupage, scrap-booking, healthy living....I'm open to tons of possibilities!

New Year, New Space I'm writing to you from this spot right here. I love my new space.  Even more, I love that is is in my home . As something I have been contemplating doing for years; I have finally created studio...

Here are some custom artworks I did for a client this past Christmas. Each is an 8x10 canvas using acrylics, with a hand-written bible verse (a life-verse for each child) that was done with acrylic ink and rice paper and attached to the canvas, then painted details around the verse, with some imagery that directly corresponds with what the verse is conveying.
The images were taken by the client after the gifts were opened, and (though they are a little lower quality), you can get the idea of the paintings. They turned out very well!
