November Workshop Recap

Recently we celebrated the upcoming holiday season with this leaf painting workshop. The wooden board measures 8” x 10” and all supplies were included in the price of the workshop. We practiced social distancing and face coverings were worn. They all turned out so wonderful!

October Painting Workshop

***Update: The workshop will now take place on Sunday, November 4th, from 1-3PM***

Join me Thursday, October 18th from 6-8:30 PM at A Whole New Light to learn how to paint this rustic, 12" x 12" pumpkin board sign. The rustic board has a galvanized metal border on two sides and a galvanized metal "Harvest" sign will be provided to each participant to attach to their finished sign. No experience is necessary and class size is small to ensure everyone has an enjoyable experience. $35 includes all supplies and refreshments.

License Plate Art

This year for Christmas I opted to make meaningful gifts. They all turned out great but this one by far is my favorite. My brother, Brandon, is a crew member for NHRA's Professional Funny Car Driver, Courtney Force. He travels 30 weeks out of the year across the United States doing what he loves: racing. I decided to make a board honoring the states he has lived in since he has planted his roots in Indiana.

One day this idea came to me when I was at a flea market (my most favorite thing to do next to my art). The NJ plate came from a moving sale down the street from me, the North Carolina plate was given to me by a nice lady on a Facebook yard sale site when I posted an "in search of", and the Ohio and Indiana plates came from Cowtown.

I chose a 16" x 48" pine board from Home Depot which my mom, an extraordinary wood finisher, gel stained for me. (Check out mom's blog by clicking here). I opted for the classic quote about home because there really is no place like New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio or Indiana. Brandon enjoyed it and will be taking it home eventually as this is the first year he flew home instead of driving. Until then, I get to admire it a little longer.

Wedding Signs

One of the best aspects about being an artist is having the ability to work on different types of projects. Recently, I painted signs for my cousin-in-laws', wedding (you may remember the signs I painted for Bobby and Annaliese's engagement photo shoot). Here are some pictures from their wedding featuring my hand painted signs courtesy of Walter E. Homan Photography. Enjoy!
