Hands

2011-02-28T13:31:00.001-06:00

My daughter's school is having an auction to raise money for the school, and each class was responsible for a created item. I volunteered this year and ended up with this. The kids had to be represented in some way, so we incorporated their hand prints.

I've been on such a long break from doing any of this type of work - it was fun to get back into it. I'm currently reassessing where I want my work to go in the future - what I want to produce/communicate/display that will accurately describe me as an artist. More on that later, I'm sure. For now, this was a fun little project.

"Other projects"

This is a sampling of the "other projects" I mentioned before. I got a new lens for Christmas and am REALLY enjoying it!

Going on Vacation!

Well..not really. I've been needing to push the pause button for some time now to tend to other projects, so I'm finally doing that now. I'll return soon, though! Thanks for your business!

I'm adjusting to a new lens on my camera, so the distant shot is pretty poor! Sorry about that. These are for a dear, special baby coming in January! Can't wait to meet you, little man!

It is still raining, raining, raining..so again, I'm having trouble getting my colors really accurate and real to life on the computer screen. This is a set of 9x12's. Fabric is the same theme with a different color scheme as this previous post. I LOVE this little bunny!! You might see him showing up in other postings!

Christmas

2009-10-26T10:21:00.003-05:00

It has been raining, raining, raining...so I'm pushing my camera to its limits (with little adequate lighting) trying to get adequate pics of these canvases to post. These are 14X18.

I'm officially back in business and already working on orders! What a FUN summer it was to enjoy nothing except playing with my kiddos! Back to the grind...(at least I love what I'm doing!:))

These two remind me of the circus!..and for any mom with young boys, I'm sure there are plenty of circus-like times in your household. These are 14X18 each. I was given the two samples below - one of bedding, the other of adorable PBKids plates (which are still being sold on their website!).

Closed for the Summer

2009-06-08T20:54:00.002-05:00

Due to 2 young-uns and a YMCA swimming pool calling our names everyday, I'm closing shop for the summer. Have a wonderful summer to you all, and I'll be back in the fall!

Something different...

2009-04-04T22:36:00.003-05:00

I had a different kind of request for a nursery painting - an abstract! I really enjoyed doing this one!! This reminds me of being back in art school..fun! On the back along the frame, I wrote two verses: " When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf!" (Gen. 8:11a); "In those days and at that time I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David's line; he will do what is just and right in the land." (Jer. 33:15) ..so you can see a little bit of what I was thinking as this progressed..

This painting was designed around Serena & Lily's "Kate" bedding. The size is 14X18.

The lighting on these isn't great - They were already packed and shipped before I downloaded the photos!..These were made as a baby shower gift. The nursery bedding is from Pottery Barn - "Penelope".

It's been a while since I've done this professionally (since college), but over the past couple of years, I've dabbled a little in this other hobby of mine: photography. Fun! Of course, these adorable kids make it very easy!! With Christmas card season coming up, I'd love to take pics of your kids! Contact me if you're interested.

A small fee will be included, but the pics are all yours after we're done!

Finally!! With two kids, things certainly slow down!..but I'm glad to say these are finally done! Thanks for the fabric samples, Abby - so helpful! Hope you enjoy these!..and I hope they transition well to a big boy room someday!

Paintings for Meg

2008-08-27T22:19:00.002-05:00

Just finished these - one for a little boy's room; another for a new baby girl's room. Her bedding is Pottery Barn - Sophia collection. I think they look like sorbet!! Yum! These are all 5X7. The letters didn't make a good pic, so there's a close-up of the "L".

Oops!!

2008-08-17T00:20:00.001-05:00

I just realized that I didn't have comments on this blog backed up to any e-mail address!..so there have been quite a few comments that I've seemingly ignored! So sorry!! I had no idea they were there! I've fixed the problem, though, so I can now get an e-mail when a comment has been made on this site.

Just to make sure I don't miss anything, for inquiries, please post comments on this site as well as send an e-mail to: ebwpaints@yahoo.com

Thanks!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

This is my mom's birthday present. It's meant to go on her 'grandchildren wall' among all the pictures as the wall grows! Happy Birthday, Mom!!! I love you!

Antiqued Letters

2008-07-12T21:07:00.002-05:00

Just finished a few paintings for Baby Boy Spence! Fabric sample is included. Much of the nursery has a great 'antique' feel to it, so I tried to mimic that.

Baby Nursery #2

Here's the latest as well as a pic of the nursery bedding from Pottery Barn. This piece is 12X12.

Jada's Paintings

2008-05-14T19:36:00.003-05:00

Here are the latest. Just finished them today! There's a fabric sample from the nursery in there, too, just to give an idea of what the pictures are meant to portray.

Painted furniture

2008-05-12T09:56:00.000-05:00

I'm realizing how terrible I've been over the years about documenting some of my completed projects. I went through a phase of painting furniture in college..lots of it actually!..but I never took pics! Lesson learned...I painted one stool for my mom, though, so here it is. I've also painted a couple of baby nurseries, if anyone is interested. One had bumble bees flying all around the room, and the other was actually a painting in a child's bathroom over the tub. Just a few more ideas.

Happy Mother's Day

2008-05-10T22:38:00.000-05:00

These are the latest projects. They're all 4X6. The series of three aren't completed yet, but we don't know the baby's name..so they'll be fully completed in a few weeks.

New website!

2008-05-06T14:43:00.001-05:00

So I've decided to start a website specifically for my artwork! I'm taking orders!..although there will be a break coming in July with baby #2! My preference is to do each piece as custom as possible, so if you're requesting work, be prepared to supply pictures and/or fabric samples of your child's nursery/room so that I can do my best to tailor your order.

Here are the latest examples of work. As you can see, there's everything from portrait work to cutesy initial paintings to placemats..so take your pick! The portrait paintings are considerably higher due to the nature of the work - a photography session is required, which includes an additional fee. Feel free to contact me via the 'comments' option or via e-mail (ebwpaints@yahoo.com).
