Painting on the go

One of the things I love about painting pet portraits, is I can paint whenever or wherever I am at. I don't need a studio or set home address to paint.
I love to travel, so it is that my life allows me to do travel and paint at the same time.
I could be in a National Park during the day, exploring and enjoying the natural beauty, then when night falls, sitting in my mode of transportation painting away.
The natural beauty that our country has to offer is vast. I like to think that I can take that and use it to draw inspiration for my work.
Right now, I am sitting outside, enjoying the wonderful sunny, 64 degrees here in Oklahoma.
The state may not have the trees and mountains other states have, but it does offer the quite countryside full of bird song and rustling of squirrels.
I have started on the wait list of "after the Christmas rush". I was hoping for February, but I was a bit busy. Since March 1st, the painting has begun, so if you were put on the list back in November or December, I will be getting to your name soon.
In previous years, Spring has not been that busy for me, but this year has seen more orders, which is great and I thank all my supporters for this. It warms my heart when I get a notification that someone is interested in a piece of my art. Usually they are asking for ornament, which just goes to show you these are not just meant for the Christmas Tree. The ornaments can be put into shadow boxes or hung from an ornate hook and displayed on a mantel.  Here is an example:


My other works such as the pendants and Scrabble Tiles are not only used for jewelry, but some customers have creatively framed them, such as these two examples:

Its all up to the customer and how they like to display their art work. I enjoy seeing the different ideas.
The past three weeks have been devoted to just ornaments, but I do have some larger and smaller pieces on the list that are coming up and I will post when finished.
Here are the latest pieces:



By the way, all of these were painted in a different state I was visiting at the time. I can't express how much I love my life. The journey I have been on and continue to this day. Travel and Art go hand in hand. 
Until next time, my faithful followers.
