Here are a few paintings that I have done for the nurseries of some little babies. I think I like doing paintings for children best because it's so fun to make these cute little designs. You would never want to hang these in your living room, but they are so fun! A lot of times when people ask me to do a painting for them, they tell me exactly what they want and sometimes even show me other pictures to give me a better idea of what they want, (which is sometimes easier for me!) But with these three, I basically just knew the name of the baby and the theme the parents' wanted. I don't see many people decorate with Winnie the Pooh anymore, so I thought it was cute that the mother loved Winnie the Pooh!
This next one belongs to a little girl whose nickname has become "Ainslee Bear." So her mother wanted a painting with a bear on it to represent that name.
I really love this last one! Jonathan is actually the new baby brother of Ainslee, so I got to paint something for both of their nurseries. Jonathan's parents wanted a firetruck theme, and I was proud to be able to get out my ideas in this painting. I wanted to have the hose from the firetruck rising up and spraying out the name in water, and the border is supposed to be dalmation spots, like the firetruck dog. I have a lot of ideas for paintings sometimes, but I can't always get them to work out how I want them to. I am such a PERFECTIONIST! But I am very happy with how this one worked out!
