New Garden Rocks

I just finished these this week. I painted 3 new Garden Rocks and 2 what I am calling Flower Power Trinket boxes. I love how these are turning out. I used outdoor/patio paints for the rocks. First I put a base coat of white outdoor paint on them and then used colored patio paints to design them. this way they will hold up through the winter. I also finished 2 wood trinket boxes. I primered those in white acrylic paint and then put the main acrylic color on and then put my signature flower power design on the top of the box. The boxes have hinges so that the top opens like a lid and you can put whatever treasures you want inside.

I am going to be displaying these at my Studio Garden Party that I am having on Sunday. It is going to be wonderful and I will post pictures later.

A Picket a day.

Well the studio changes are coming along. My hubby cut my picket fence in half, which I painted white and then he built a center piece that we stained and put my frog fountain on it. Then my grandson Brandon came over and painted a picket with his own design! His is the red, white and blue Love and I think it turned out amazing!  Mine are the flowers on the end and won't be complete for a couple days when it is cooler! Yesterday it was 95 and today it is going to be close to 100!
Thank goodness for air conditioning!

Pumpkin Art Give Thanks

I decided to paint a pumpkin for Thanksgiving. It evolved as I painted. I started with the words Give Thanks and then added my signature flowers, one in red, yellow and purple. Then I added black swirls with Lime Green dots and finished with red hearts and white swirls scattered around.
My hubby took a picture of me and my finished pumpkin.
I have decided that I liked the way it turned out so much that I am going to get some smaller pumkins and some gourds and paint them and use them as a center piece for my dining table.

Cheer Yourself On Vision Board

I pieced together and laid out what I wanted on my cheer Yourself On Board and then took a picture of it. Then I can remove any or all of the pieces and not worry about forgetting where everything goes.

Then I printed the picture in black and white in large size and put it next to my Vision Board so I could refer to it as I continued to create.

Then I started painting my flowers on my board. This is where I am at right now after letting it dry last night. Today I will add more flowers and add the flower details and see how I like it. I can already tell I may change my board layout as I am getting new ideas as I paint!

Will post some more later - I can't wait to see how it turns out!
