OK...I sure hope I don't "jinx" anything but here is the painting I did for daughter's new appartment....

"Serenity"...




I was inspired by a painting we both saw in a high-end retail shop and loved but it was wayy too expensive! Also, the original was an Asian girl and daughter asked that I paint it to resemble her with blond, curly hair.

I'm kinda' proud of the way it turned out and I hope she gets a feeling of peace and serenity when she looks at it.

Nice stuff. Just thought I’d pop in and say hi. I’ll try to read through when I catch up from being sick.

Thanks Barto and lee!
I plan to start painting alot more...I'd forgotten how happy it makes me!
Take care all,
Jane

Did you know that if you use acrylics you can paint a t-shirt and when it dries, iron it for at least 5 min., on high, to set it so it wont wash out?

Disclaimer: NOT responsible for t-shirts that don't turn out right. (best to start off using an old t-shirt, but new ones will work better)

Thanks lee!! Never heard of that before as we used to use the puffy paints for T'shirts and jeans, but maybe I will give that a try!

The painting looked so cool on daughters new bedroom wall and she was very careful to choose a spot that she could wake up and look at it all the time!! That made me feel really good to know she appreciated it that much!!

Well, I seem to have had wayyyy too much time on my hands lately so I decided to do another painting!
This one is of my parrot "Sam" with an Amazon forrest in the background...


And here is "Sam" checking out his painting! LOL!


I think he would rather eat my leather chair!!

Great paintings Jane. Have you really only been around here since June? It seems much, much longer.

Jane63

Yup! June "2004"! I came in like a stuttering little fool who didn't even realise what I was dealing with! Thank God so many here at SR showed me the way!

Good to see you let him out around the house. Personally I don't like to see them in cages.

ccgirl

Double duh on me. I didn't see the 2004. Jane, you should work for an embassy or something, you're so tactful in pointing out one's duhness, LOL

Jane63

LOL cc!! 3-years really isn't all that long!! "duhhness" LOLOL!!

lee...he only goes in his cage when I am too busy to chase after his feathered butt or at night time! He is about 34-years old and my bestest friend!

Well...different day, same DRs apt so looks like I have a long wait until my apt at 3pm!! Everytime the phone rings I think it is them canceling again!!:wtf2
