The Frog Lover’s Painting

I was approached by a high school friend to create this special painting for him and his beautiful wife. They now have it framed and sitting in their foyer. Here is the feedback I received from my happy customers:

“Wow! Thank you so much Michelle for our special frogs. With a last name like Hoppe, ya can’t help but take on the little croakers as the family mascot.
I greatly appreciate your time and care in the project.”

I am thrilled to have had the privilege to create this special piece of art for them.

Stacy’s Sunflower 2020

I’m finally finished with “Stacy’s Sunflower.”

On February 4, 2020, my best friend lost her battle to cancer. She put up a good fight for four years. My heart is broken, but it helps to know that she is in a better place and at peace. Stacy and I knew each other since high school. We shared many great memories together.

This sunflower represents my love and friendship I had for her. I was so very blessed to have a friend like her.

Her memory will live on in my heart for the rest of my days.

May she Rest In Peace. ❤️

I Sold My First Original Painting!

The happy recipient of my first original painting, Meagan Brown.

I am super excited to share this great news. I have sold my very first original painting!! I want to thank Mr. and Mrs. Chris Brown for their purchase of my “Owl Lovers” watercolor painting. They gifted this painting to their daughter, Meagan.

I am excited about this new way of sharing my art. In the past, I have always created my art digitally, and now I am experimenting with watercolors and having an absolute blast with this fun medium. It certainly is different creating on paper rather than my computer screen and stylus.

I plan to start selling originals and offering prints and many other products as well. Keep your eyes peeled for my next art pieces.

My Progress with Ernesto the Owl

Ernesto the Owl

I’m almost finished with Ernesto the owl. Just need some finishing touches and he’ll be looking for a new home.

I’ve put several fun hours into creating this plump Christmas owl and I can’t wait to see what he will look like on tote bags, wood art, and all the other products available in my online shops. I’ll keep you posted when the original is available and when the products are loaded in my shops.

I used an H pencil to trace Ernesto.
When using watercolors, it’s all about layering colors. So fun!!

I’d like to introduce, Ernesto the owl to you all.
I’m currently using watercolor pencils to create this cutie pie. My hope is to share my progress with you all on a daily basis.

I’m debating on whether to change the background. What color would you suggest for the background?
