Man, life has been so hectic. But that's a good thing!

I have been so busy trying to generate business and get my name out there and generally just sell paintings that I haven't been actually painting that much recently. I needed to get back to what I love to do but the business side of me is constantly going on in the back of my head.

This piece is called "Let's Play". It's very textured and very loosely done. I tried to pick a photo to use that was fairly simple in order to be loose with it and still have it come out looking like a beach ball in the pool.

It's 24" x 30", acrylic on canvas, original, signed and framed. It is $175., which, in my opinion is a great price for the size of it.

"Reaching for the Sun". Original, 11" x 14", signed acrylic on canvas, comes in a black frame. It is $60.

I had a great photo to use for this one of my orange day lilies that are on the side of our house. They grow so tall and are always leaning towards the sun so they look like they're trying to reach for the sun.

As you can see there's loads of texture to this piece as well.

"Friday Night". This piece is 11" x 14" also, acrylic on canvas. It is an original, signed piece and comes in a black frame. It is $90.

I really wasn't too excited about this painting mid-way through but thought that turned out great. The color combination is just stunning in person. Not as much texture to it as the last 2 but it's still there.

I had a friend who posted this picture on facebook that she took. I asked her if I could use it for a painting. I loved the placement of the items. Couldn't have set up the still life better myself!

I'm loving the fact that I can use other people's pictures (with their permission, of course) to do more versatile stuff.

I hope you like all of them. Leave me some feedback about any of the items. Would love to hear it!
