Nauvoo Temple

This is my next painting adventure. I have'nt done many paintings of buildings, let alone a temple. The painting is for my mother in law, Susan. Hopefully I can get it done by christmas. She donated 400 dollars to the Nie-nie fund. In return, she gets a painting. (she was the one and only bidder in my painting auction) Anyways, I will try to get some of my recent paintings photographed so I can post them. Thanks for looking!

spring back into painting

I 've been keeping busy working, teaching and painting. Sadly, painting is at the bottom of the list. Now that its spring break, there is more time to paint. I am almost finished with a child portrait I 've been working on for a good friend. Should be done this week. I will get pictures up soon. Thanks for looking! Happy Easter!

Work Samples

New Additions

Here are just a few paintings I recently finished. All 1'x1' on birch wood ply.

Finished and Furnished

Here it is, the mother's nursing room. It is being well used. We have so many new mothers in our ward, its great. It was alot of work but I am happy I did it. I think it looks even better with the new rug, curtains and furniture. You can't tell from the pictures, but the windows are of colored glass (blue, pink and green) The color sceme for the room and mural was inspired by the windows.

Dahlia details

Just finished these flowers today. All the white spots have yet to be painted, in case you were wondering about the albino hummingbird. Ever since my wedding, I have loved these beautiful dahlia's. I wanted to paint something different than the typical garden roses. It makes the painting more personal. I chose just a few main flowers to show in greater detail. The background flowers were just painted in flat color. This also saves me on time. I will post the finished product next week, hopefully...
