New tiny paintings

Today I am happy to share some new paintings with you.

 ♥Flamingos-12x16

Here is my newest mixed media painting, which I am so excited about. I finally finished this piece yesterday. Ever since I did the pineapple painting, I've wanted to create more bright neon pieces for summer. I was nervous about doing flamingos because the neck is long, curvy and thin. I was worried I wouldn't be able to cut the paper/fabric exactly right and the neck would look all choppy. Anyways, I am so glad I just went with it and attempted the piece because it turned out great. I did struggle with the background a little, but then I decided to go for a sunset appearance fading into emerald water.

  Flower Bouquet- 11x14

I finished the flower bouquet painting last month, but forgot to post it. I love the contrast of the different purples with the black. I normally don't use a lot of black in my art because I like my art to be bright and fun. However, I feel the black really compliments the purple and mint colors. I think I might experiment more with black in the future to create some contrasty pieces.

So here is a little sneak peek - I've been trying to create a tiny painting collection because I hope to eventually open an Etsy shop. I would love to hear any feedback! Please tell me your favorite pieces and what you would like to see more of! It would be super helpful.

Artwork

So here are some of the paintings I forgot to post from last year.  The paintings are a Rocket Ship, No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, and a Geometric snowflake.

 

This painting is the biggest painting I have ever done which is a 30x40. It was a commission piece done for the new Children's Hospital at UVA- The Battle Building.

This picture is of the painting framed and displayed at the hospital.

This painting is one I did for my nephew's nursery. I have never done a monkey painting before, but was stoked to try it out. I really like how it turned out. I feel like most of my paintings are so bright and colorful that I wasn't sure how the brown would turn out. However, I am pleased with the outcome and it is super adorable in his nursery.

Here is my most recent painting that I did for Christmas. I wanted something Merry and Bright hanging in my living room. I decided to do a Geometric snowflake. I am really happy with how this painting turned out. It is a 20x24 canvas painting. Usually I use a bunch of different mediums, but for this painting I used silver leaf foil and acrylic paint. The silver leaf adds the textured part and the bright geometric style adds the pattern both of which I so desperately crave in my works.

New paintings

I have been so slack at posting on my blog! I  have been meaning to post this now for a while. To be honest I meant to post this about 2 weeks ago. Anyways, I finally got around to painting some new mixed media pieces. It has been gorgeous weather outside (I love Spring) and I decided it would be perfect to set up my art supplies outside!

I love how they both turned out!!

I think this is perfect for a little boys room and I love the colors!

FYI I recently learned how to use my DSLR camera so hopefully now my photos will be better on my blog!

Airplane Artwork

I did this airplane painting for a friend of mine to give her nephew. This is the first airplane I have ever done. Its perfect for a baby boy nursery/toddler's room. It is mixed media 11x14.

Some of my art.

So school is really intense right now and next month I will be taking my first registry for abdomen, which I am super nervous about. One thing that has been driving me crazy is the amount of free time I have WHICH IS NONE. If I am not at clinic, work, or studying I am sleeping and also trying to work in exercising to! Not trying to complain because I am so thankful for what I am doing and that I am able to study ultrasound.

Anyways I havent been able to do any new art, which kills me because being crafty keeps me sane! BUT I thought I would do a post of some my paintings. All are mixed media pieces.

Soon I will have a mini break and I have so many ideas going thru my head for paintings. I want to do a spring, abstractlike inspired mini collection of paintings. So hopefully I will do a posting soon about my ideas and inspiration!
