little boys

class goodies

Each year for preschool, we, the parents are asked to send in 12 little goodies for the kids' end of the year summer survival bucket.  I decided to do something a little different this year since it was our last year at the preschool.  I got 12 wooden frames and painted the boys brown with green circles to match the palm tree (already made) and I painted the girls' frames yellow and red to match the flip flops.  Then put a picture of the class in them.  Sweet little keepsake.  There is a verse at the bottom (Proverbs 17:17, "Friends love at all times") and their names on the top.  I taped a note to the back wishing everyone a fun summer and a great year in kindergarten...bittersweet.

college decoration

Its kinda hard to tell what this will look like "finished" because Kayla herself will have to finish it by putting three pictures in the clear picture frames.  The background is turquoise and cream and a little lime green to match her bedding for her college room.  The verse says "Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord."

invitation

It looks kinda wrinkled because it is actually a wedding invitation that has a crease down the middle. Once its framed I'm sure it will be flattened out.  Had to get a quick shot of this though before I sent it off in a hurry.  Had to get it to the lady who ordered it before their rehearsal dinner.  

Director's gifts; 31

Have you ever heard of "31 gifts"? Its a company that sells purses and all types of bags and lots of really cute other things.  They have great choices of fabrics and colors and their stuff holds up really well.  The company is named for the passage in Proverbs 31 that speaks of the godly woman. Love that passage.  Anyway, the company has been very successful and one of their directors (don't know the exact title position, but she has at least 6 directors under her leadership) asked me to paint a canvas with each of her directors' team logos.  I did not necessarily design the logo, just sorta embellished them...some more than others.  It was a fun project that I did in 5 days!  What's your favorite?  I like Delightful Hearts, but probably more because of the scripture than the art.  

Brown and pink nursery

I painted this the other day to match a baby's nursery bedding.  This baby is going to be the first girl but the fourth child in this family, so I also painted a little door hanger that matched that says "No Boys Allowed". The verse if from Song of Songs 2:4, "Show me your face, let me hear your sweet voice.  For your voice is sweet and your face is lovely."  

winter house on the lake

I did this painting last year, but as I was looking for it on my blog the other day I couldn't find it, so I decided to put it on again.  This is a watercolor from a photo in soft cool colors.
