I have decided to take my art more seriously this coming year since doing watercolor paintings for my family for Christmas. I haven't done much watercolor art but decided to do my projects with this medium because I had just purchased a watercolor set to play around with. The further I got with my projects the more and more I thought to myself, "I should be doing this more!"
This one I did for my Daughter-in-Law. She is a beautiful pianist and just graduated for BYU as a piano performance major. The lid of the piano is the home where she grew up and where she spent a lot of her time playing the piano. The background is a piano piece she has performed.
This one is for my first grandaughter's nursery. She will be making her appearance in March. Her nursery with be a woodland theme.
This is what I did for my, COWBOY, son. I have always loved drawing quakie trees. I love their stark black and white bark and the uniqueness of each one. I even did his initials in one of the trees as though he carved it there years ago.
My daughter, love vintage things. That is why I chose to do this old vintage typewriter. It is also perfect for her because she is an excellent writer. A talent I wish she would use more. I chose the semi-colon, and quote because it has meaning to her as she has suffered from depression.
This is a painting for my oldest son of the Alhambra in Spain. He served a two-year mission in Spain for our church and this was one of his favorite places.
And last but not least, here is the painting that I did for my husband. He also served a mission for our church but he served in Hong Kong. This one by far was the hardest and took me the longest to do. It was the first one that I started with so I was learning as I went.
