Baby Jesus (All the pictures got mixed up when I uploaded them)

This was the back of the album with the listing of all of the songs.

Joesph

Mary and Baby Jesus

This was a commission for a very musically talented friend who composed a Christmas CD and wanted me to do a drawing for his album cover. I was very excited to do this but a bit nervous because drawing people is not my strong point in art. I was happy with the way it turned out.  

Sign October 2012

 

I did this for my good friend when she had her first little boy.

ABC's

 

This was a painting I did for a good friend of mine who just had her first little boy. I will have to post a picture of it once its hung.

Before

I did this dresser back in April but never posted pictures. I really like the way it turned out its so whimsical a very girly.

Stools and Trash Bin.

This is what both stools looked like before I painted them. 

This stool I painted for my mother.

This one was for me. :)

I painted my mothers trash bin also while I was in Utah visiting family.

Door of the trash bin.

Top of the trash bin.

I also painted a little rocking chair as well as a little green old fashioned school chair but I must not have taken pictures. I will have to get some so I can post the. All of this was hand painted work. It was a lot of work and time but they all turned out looking wonderful.

English Village

English Village

This was a commission for a good friend as a gift to her mother for Christmas.

The story behind this painting was really neat to hear. This is from a photograph that my friend took when she was over in England and it just so happened to be the town where her mother grew up. I was happy to be able to bring the photograph more life so that her mother could feel at home in England even though she is thousands of miles away.

Hoot Owls

Here are just a few little projects I did for my new little girls room.

Once upon a time...

The story is up to you!

The Beautiful Castle

The not so scary Dragon.

This was just a fun little extra job I got while in my home town of Panguitch Utah. This was done in a play room under the stairs.. Small working space to say the least! But I have painted in smaller spaces.

Children's Dental St. George Utah (update)

This was in Children's Dental in St. George Utah I just went back to fix my cowboys face it looked funny and this is the updated face...looks much better and I was much happier with it.

Children's Dental Cedar City Utah

This was a very big job, my biggest one yet! It took me a total of 177 and 1/2 hours! that was just my hours not including the help that I got from my family. The job took me a little over 2 weeks to complete working any where from 3 hours all the way up to 16 and 17 hour days. To say the least it was a ton of work but in the end very rewarding!

The sheep in the corner corral

Front desk at the Dixon Hotel (inside play house)

I tried for the illusion of the open jail cell I wanted to give the small play house more depth.

I painted all but the Cedar Merc it was done before I got there to do the job.

I wanted to give it the appearance of walking down an old western town street.

The old western town with a few modern colors to spice it up a little.

Welcome to Lil' Cuspid Ranch.

I wanted this to be left open to the imagination. I like letting you wonder where the road leads and what you might find down that old dirt road.

Inside the X-ray room.

 I wanted the little truck to look like it was headed to the barn for a good days work.

of course I picked a poor time to take a picture. I had way to much light coming through the windows. I hope to go back and get a better picture sometime soon.  But for now this will do.

The little remote cabin in the right corner.

Cowboy and his trusty horse. I was really excited with the way they turned out.
