Christmas and NYE 2018

This holiday season was one of the best! I took off 3 days and because of how the holidays fell, I had 11 days off work in a row. It was glorious!
We spent a couple of days south with my family. I had a few days of lounging around at the house, then we had an epic NYE party, complete with photo booth, live music and door prizes! (we know how to throw a party! )


NYE at our house:




My bother played music all night, with this girlfriend singing. 







Finished a few fluid paintings over my 'staycation'.  


Started the #30daysofcreativepractice on the 1st. Below was the "layers" prompt day. I am exploring during this 30 day practice. trying new things; finding out what I like and what I don't like. Practicing lines and shapes and color combos. Honing in on my artistic style.  
it's been fun so far and such a learning experience! I'm on day 7 today! 


I hand painted and gold leafed ceramic ornaments this year for Christmas gifts. Everyone has loved them! I even gave a couple away as door prizes at our NYE party.

Harrison, the girls and I at my cousins house on Christmas eve.  

This 24x18" oil painting (+cold wax) was finished over the holidays, as well. This is going to friends of mine. It's called Beneath the Surface. 




Whew! this post was a big 'catch-up'! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! 

Happy creating!

Canvas Corp Brand: January Challenge

Happy New Year, everyone! How was your holiday season? We had a great one and an amazing NYE party at our house. I will share those photos, along with more art I've been creating in the next post!

I decided to play along with CCB's January color challenge
I really loved their color choice so I created an art journal spread inspired by their challenge.  #ccbchallenge








My friend, Michelle, is on their design team this year. I am so proud of her! She is super talented! Check out her sites here.

Happy creating!
