My daughter's pet mantis named "Zorak!"

Palette knife painting on canvas

I don't really like this one but it was my first time using a palette knife and it is an original. It's me on the set of "Warrior" at a photo shoot. The colors are off. That's why I don't like it.

My first canvas painting

Van Gogh's Café Terrace at Night. I used acrylic (not oil like the original).

Home made easel

Mounts on top of a tripod

Painted my baby girl's new room

Here's the stencil i made. I used paper and cut with an exacto knife. Then I sprayed movable adhesive on the back of the shapes and then spray painted it. I did the flowers the same way. For the tree, I made a pic on photoshop using images off the net. Then I had it printed on a clear sheet and used an overhead projector to trace it on the wall.

I sketched this seahorse with my daughter.

My latest art creation

Here it is after it went in the kiln. I looked up pointillism paintings online and borrowed the idea.

Sunday

We are headed to church now. Afterward, we will take Emmalie somewhere special before the baby comes. Tess is due in less than two weeks! Here is a picture of the coasters I painted for Tess for Mother's Day. Everyone's artwork.

Today we celebrated Mother's Day with Tess, Emmalie, Kyle and Alexandra. We went to a place where you pick out pottery and paint it. Then they fire it in a kiln. I did a coaster set. The piggy bank is Tessa's and the elephant is Emmalie's.
