Paint Night "Paulina Moonlight"

We had a fun paint night tonight with some college students! A huge thank you to College Excel for inviting me to teach this great group of young adults.

Paint Night- Northern Lights

My second successful paint night class, or I should say practice class. One student was my husband (who actually followed my instructions!), and the other was my good friend, Cait. Cait was at my first paint night as well. This time she said she was surprised at how well hers turned out. At first she did not have faith that it would look good, but she trusted my instructions and sure enough, she ended up with a beautiful painting! Hers is the one on the farthest left and Matt's is the next one.

Island Wave

Around Christmas time I was given a gift that was incredibly thoughtful, and I was greatly encouraged by it...the gift was a bundle of canvases (with a rhyming note)! 

I returned one of those canvases...with this painting on it (along with a rhyming note). 

Sometimes little things can make a big difference in someone's life! Thank you, Dr. Lani, for making a difference in my life and inspiring me to keep painting!

Sea of Turquoise Acrylic Pour

Another happy customer! Thank you, Bonnie, for commissioning this piece. It stretched me out of my comfort zone into a new medium, and as a result I learned some new skills. It looked beautiful on your wall too!

Women Grinding Maize

"Women grinding maize,"- Acrylic on stone

Here is a commission painting I did on a stone approximately 4"x8" in size. The gentleman who requested it asked me for a scene with Native American women at the grinding stone along a stream.

The rock he gave me to paint on resembles the size and shape of the stones the women would have used back then to grind corn to make masa.

I chose to use the scenic Malheur River area as my setting. This was my first attempt at such a small painting, and the uneven surface of the rock really put me to the test! Thank you, Tim, for this apportunity to challenge my mini-painting skills. I hope you enjoy it!

Surf and Sandpipers

Happy Mother's Day! 
Here is a painting I did for my Mom as a Mother's Day gift. She was very happy with it! Love you Mom!

Surf and Sandpipers- Acrylic 

Sunset Wave

Commissioned by my cousin, Rudy. I might have to do a few more of these! 

My first attempt at an Acrylic Pour!

This was quite the learning experience, and very fun to experiment with!

Paulina Moonlight

California Coast Sunset (Dana Point)

Merry Christmas to my friend Cait! You are a great friend who has helped me in so many ways, including giving me rides to medical appointments, pet sitting, and making sure I don't stay a hermit for too long of a period at a time! Thank you so much for being there for me, and I hope you enjoy this pop of color on your wall. 😊
