Cow

"Cow"
16 X 20
Having a new baby has definitely changed a few things around here... I was frustrated at first, but now I have realized that even though I only get one day a week to paint, I have time to really consider what I'm going to work on and what colors I'm going to use.

My snuggle buddy is sleeping better every night and takes some great long naps during the day, so now I am able to plan intentional painting time again.

I am primarily finger painting these days and I'm finding that it is a great way to unwind and feel like I have accomplished something.

This is again unremarkably named, but I'd rather spend my brain power on the artwork itself rather than worrying about what to name it! I find that names that aren't simple can be distracting, so here's to my newest, "Cow".

"Jessica's Caillebotte"

Always peaceful seeing sailboats and ocean on my canvas. My reference is from an artist named Caillebotte.

I painted this last month, but couldn't remember how to spell the artist's name, 🙄 so it had to wait a bit before I could post!

Hope you enjoy! Like my page on Facebook for more!

"Elephant"

So how do you like my original title???

Hey, if Monet can make it happen with calling it like it is, I feel I am among good company!!

In any case, this is a finger painting that was way too much fun.

Lately, I have one day a week to paint, so finger painting is my go-to while having an infant in the house. My 6-year-old has asked that I do a finger painted cow next... I think I just might!

"Just Golden"

This is a finger painting done from a preference photo by Karen Broemmelsick. It reminds me of my dog, Bucky.
My three year old has decided it is her 'puppy' and is insisting it spend some time on her wall in her room. 😊

"The Garden Shed"

This is from a photo of the garden shed in my parent's backyard. It has been used for storage of the winter sleds, garden supplies, tools, and for a long time my horse equipment and hay. Lots of great memories with that shed always in the background. 🙂
