Come Join The Fun This Weekend!

My New Favorite Subject: Celebrities!!!

I had the privilege to be a part of an Art Show on Thursday night. It was part of Denver's Weekend of F.A.M.E. and I thought it was a perfect time to start on my celebrity character painting's. Didn't say too much about the show for a few reasons:
1) It was on a Thursday night so I knew it be difficult to make for some.
2) I wasn't even sure I was going to have them finished before the deadline... Last week I was waking up at 4:00am so I could get a few hours of painting in before I left for work at 6:20. Then painted til' I fell asleep every night... I was exhausted!
3) I have never been a part of this event before so I wasn't really sure what it was or what to expect?.....

However, my friends Jennifer, Gina and Matt came to support me along with my sister, mom and husband! I did finish the painting's literally "in the nick of time" and I LOVED the event!

Thank you so much to my friends and family who came & thank you to event coordinators for letting my art be a part of this exciting event!

A Happy Place!

A close family friend commissioned me to do a folk art house painting, as a surprise for his wife. He will be giving it to her tomorrow, so I am just keeping my fingers crossed that she will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed this project! It was such a different subject then what I am used to,  but I love a challenge and I feel like I figured out a way to paint a house "Kami Style". I wanted to keep the painting a bit whimsy by adding the perry winkle drive way, neon trees and the bright blue lake and sky! Their house is so beautiful to begin with, but by adding the thick outline and fun colors I feel like it is just such "a happy place" and I feel so lucky to have had this opprotunity!
