Progress photos...from start to toning wash over the finished painting. Proof that there's ugly stages! Lol

I would love to recreate this one on a large scale, maybe 3ft x 3ft. It would look amazing in a spa or above a garden tub!

After redoing yesterday's ocean adventure, I spent the day with the beautiful colors of the ocean depths and thinking of God's provision and beauty, even in the midst of the waves.

Never be afraid to try again. Smaller bokeh, a little pink...I'm in love. (Second photo created with editing app to place it on a wall)

The best part about acrylic painting? If you don't like it, you can paint over it! I started a project yesterday, mostly for art therapy, but didn't love the result. So this morning, I redid the background and am trying again with a little different approach. Art shouldn't be stressful, it should be freeing!

It has been quite a week. Once again, Art is my refuge. Stay tuned for the finished product.

Edit to add : Progress....not sure what I'll do next

Edit #2: I've said many times, "If you don't like it, just paint over it!" That's the beauty of acrylic paint! So, I give you starting point #2

I tried a new medium, and I'm in love!

Take a look at my Comfort Critters! Each one is uniquely handmade to give you a fidget for when anxiety tries to creep.in or you feel overwhelmed. I wanted each one to remind you of the promises of Scriptures.

I'm taking orders - these would be wonderful teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, or just a fun self-care purchase! $10 each!

These are my first designs. (I've got 7 more I'm working on.) *colors and designs may vary slightly.

Work in progress pics! 36" x 36" piece of art for my love. He said his office needed something "golf", and according to him this is a pretty famous hole 😉🤷🏼‍♀️😊 Trey Rieper
