The First Paint Party Friday of 2012! Hooray!

"Believe"  (My Word of the Year)

This week I've been working on more hand painted prints for my shop...

"Irving"


"Henry and Luigi"
(This was originally created as a gift for Tyler's teacher.)


"Dancing Elephant Topiary"

I'm so excited to be back... painting, sharing, and seeing what all of you are up to!

  24. Kristin, your hand painted prints are such a good idea! And they look beautiful too. I'm wondering who posed for you to sketch the hands? My husband patiently let me take like 100 photos of his hands so I'd have references for my artwork! :)
