Autumn Breezes

Here is my new painting, "Autumn Breezes," from my Sunday Sketch last week :) She is acrylic on a 5"x7" strteched canvas and is available in my shop. She is enjoying collecting colorful fall leaves and letting the breeze blow through her hair :)




Below is a little commission I did last week for a friend of a friend, of her little daughter Juniper as a fairy :)





I also wanted to share the good news that I have a brand new, beautiful Canon camera!!! :) My parents were incredibly kind enough to give it to me :) It really is a huge deal to me, there is no way I could have afforded a new camera for a while and I really needed one. I can finally take good closeups of my paintings!



I have read the manual but I am excited to learn more about the different settings and start taking some great pictures :)
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day, I'll see you soon! :)

  3. Oh, I love your new painting. She turned out so well - I love how she's clinging to that little leaf and the trees behind her are so cute! And your commissioned painting is too adorable for words - I LOVE those toadstools!!!!! Have a great night and enjoy playing with your new camera. Theresa
